To My Best Friend

I love you with all of my heart, you're one in a million.

To My Best Friend

It's hard to believe that we've been friends for eight years. It feels like just yesterday that we started talking at church and getting sugar highs off soda. Never would I have imagined in fifth grade that we'd become so close all these years later.

I mean it when I say I truly don't know what I would do without you in my life. I could write a book about how much I love you and how thankful I am for you, but I'll try to keep it short.

1. Thank you for everything.

Let's start with a general thank you for every single thing you've ever done for me. From telling me I have food in my teeth to making me look like a fool in front of a cute boy, thank you for all of it. It means the world.

2. Thank you for always being there.

Whether it be something as simple as what to wear to a party or it be the day my grandfather died, thank you for always being there to help. You were there when no one else was and I know I can always count on you no matter what. We may not have many deep heart to hearts (we laugh too much), but I know that you'll always be there to listen when I need someone and I appreciate that more than anything.

3. Thank you for making me laugh.

Goodness, we've laughed a lot in the past eight years. Whenever I'm with you, I'm always laughing. Thank you for always lightening the mood and making me laugh even when I don't feel like it. I know I can always count on you to make anything fun.

4. Thank you for loving me for who I am.

I know I can probably be a little bit annoying sometimes, but you love me anyways. Thanks for sticking by me through my ugly middle school phase and my Carrie Underwood obsession. You've put up with a lot.

5. Thank you for being you.

I hope you know how much I appreciate you. You are perfect just the way you are. Always remember that. You're going to do such great things in life and I can't wait to watch it all by your side.

No matter where life takes us, I know that we'll never drift apart. I can always count on you to be by my side through it all. So believe me when I say, I love you with all my heart.

Thank you for being the very best friend a girl could ever ask for. You're one in a million.

XOXO,
Your Person

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.
