10 Things I Am Thankful For
The Artistic Tog

Well, holiday season is here! As November rounds the corner to an end, December will come right on in. I don't know about you, but for me, November and December are the most magical of months. Thanksgiving and Christmas scream family and friends to me. It is the one time the whole family stops everything just to come together and spend time with one another.

As I have grown up, I have started to see the holidays for something other than just gift receiving and giving. It is a time to be thankful for things. It is a time to be thankful for one another, especially family. Life is so very precious and being able to spend time with the most meaningful people in your life around the holidays is a beautiful thing.

To bring some light to this holiday season: Here are 10 things I am thankful for this year.

1. My family.

Today and everyday I am thankful for you. My biggest supporters and my biggest fans. I love you with everything in me.

2. My Jeep.

I mean, damn, have you seen her?! She's beautiful. But, I am mainly thankful that I have a car and that she is reliable.

3. My job.

Working with the public can be one of the hardest things, but having such wonderful coworkers who have turned into good friends make the job worth while. Plus, I have a job in the first place. I am thankful to simply, have a job.

4. Being an E.M.T.

I love what I do. I love helping others and I am beyond thankful that I get the opportunity to do so. I am also thankful for my Wednesday night crew- you guys make the job fun and ultimately, even more worth it.

5. My health.

I am thankful for my health today and everyday. Even if those winter colds are coming!

6. My home.

Beyond thankful that I have a place to call home. A place that has heat and blankets and a roof over my head.

7. My friends.

Life would be horrible without you. Thanks for always brightening up my days and being such wonderful friends. Thankful for you always.

8. My cats.

Evil and Eviler = Milo and Stella. They might be the craziest cats in the world, but I wouldn't want any other cats!

9. My life.

In general, I am beyond thankful for my life. I am thankful for waking up everyday and being able to do what I love to do. I am thankful that I get to be whoever I want to be and that I have the power to control that everyday.

10. My girl Cat.

I am thankful for you everyday. Here's to our first holiday season together and so many more to come. Thanks for coming into my life.

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.
