To the guy best friend that left me behind,

Hi. It’s been a while. Not that long I guess. I still reach out to you every once and a while to exchange a few words, but it isn’t like it was. We used to be inseparable. We did everything together.

We went to parks and on long car rides and we could talk about everything. You knew my whole life and I knew yours. Our families knew each other. We visited each other at our crappy part-time jobs and you were always there when those stupid boys broke my heart. You always knew how to put those pieces back together.

Honestly, I think I loved you. No, I know I loved you. How can you be that close with someone and not fall for them a little bit? Even better is I think you loved me too? Just a little bit at least. I guess it’s too late for that now.

We have really drifted apart. Different colleges, new friends and just slowly losing our common interests are the cause. A part of me wants to be mad at you for letting it happen, but I’m just as at fault as you are. I want to know why this happened most of all.

It’s not like I didn’t expect to lose friends when going away to college. I just never expected to lose you. You were supposed to always be by my side. We were supposed to be best friends until we were old and gray. Our friends even thought we would always be side by side. I guess I just got used to the idea of having someone next to me forever.

It hurts a lot that you aren’t here anymore, at least not like you were. We both have our own lives and we’re both busy. We don’t talk anymore, but I see your social media posts and you look really happy. Your new girlfriend is beautiful and I haven’t seen you smile like you do around her in a long time. I’m really happy for you, but my heart hurts and I think it will continue to.

It took a lot for me to write this letter and the worst is that you probably won’t ever see it. Just know I love you and I still consider you to be my best friend. No matter what the distance, time or differences I will always be here for you. You are my concert buddy, my milkshake date and my late-night-getting-lost car ride memories.

Sincerely,

The girl who misses you with her whole heart

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
