An Open Letter To My Best Guy Friend

Dear Best Guy Friend,

Thank you so much for all that you have done for me. You are not a girl so the amount of girl talk we have is extraordinary. You are always there when I need you most and you always make sure that I am okay even when I don’t deserve it.

You have gone through my breakups with me and pretended to hate them just as much as I did even when I was in the wrong. You act like the older brother I never had and for that I thank you. So much has happened between us from fights to laughs to confusion. We never let go and you still hold such a special place in my heart.

I am not writing this letter for that reason though I am writing this letter because we are growing up and it is time that I say this. You are handsome and someone someday will see that. I am so sad every time I hear you talking about being alone and I just want to fix it for you. I know that at this stage in life we all go through that loneliness phase even when we aren’t alone but I want you to know it will get better.

I want you to know that I know for you this year is going to be tough I can see it in the way you talk. I can see it in the way you handle life and even though it is rough for me already as well I will have your back the way you had mine from the beginning. I know that I am normally the one that needs a friend and needs the saving, but I want you to know that I know that you need some saving sometimes too and that I love you and I will be there for you in that sense as well.

We have laughed and cried together and we have grown up together at this point. You were there the day I was reborn and you were there the day I got cheated on. You were even there recently when I found the first man to ever treat me like a princess and you smiled a big smile for me. We may have had our fights and you may have walked out once or twice and vice versa, but I want you to know that no matter where life takes me I love you and I will be here for you every step of the way just like you have been for me.

With Love,

The Girl You Always Saved

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.
