2 years went by too fast..

I miss you so much I can't even put myself up to play solitaire anymore. 2 years grandpa 2 years. 2 years full of breakdowns,lost memories trying to get back, eating ice cream by myself.Feeling like I'm lost in this world without you. You were my best friend growing up. Now you're my Guardian Angel.I know the day we lost you is just a day.I not only celebrate your life but I grieve over the lost time I didn't get to spend with you. I think of you everyday and it kills me a little bit knowing I couldn't and can't do anything about it. I blame myself for not seeing you and not trying hard enough after I was denied. I never told anyone this before, it was back when we were a family again the four of us. We were driving and I kept that picture you guys took on the back of the golf cart and Gidget was with you two and I stared at the picture and I asked mom and dad "can we go visit grandpa and grandma very soon?" There response was "no" and it crushed me so bad I started to cry and the tears hit the picture one by one and ended up ruining the picture. That day was a hard day.That day I lost hope. But on the bright side I treasure all the times I spent my childhood together,from sitting on your lap in your special red chair to being my ice cream buddy. I still have a hard time knowing you aren't here and it just doesn't feel real. No matter how hard I try it always affects me.You were an important part of my life and you still are. 2 years grandpa 2 years. I love and miss you more than you'll ever know! Forever in my heart. RIP GN 06-26-15

Love,

Your Granddaughter

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.
