30 Thank You's For The Best Mom Ever
Jenna Carey

Dear Mom,

I know I'm not always the best at expressing how I feel, and you might think that I take some of the things you do for granted. The truth is, I'm so used to having an amazing mom that I sometimes forget to thank you for everything you do. I want you to know that I appreciate you, I love you, and I owe all of my success to you. Thank you, Mom. Thank you...

1. For always answering my phone calls (no matter what time it is)

2. For listening to me complain constantly

3. For dealing with my unnecessary attitude

4. For always accepting my apologies

5. For giving the most helpful advice

6. For always telling it like it is, even if it's not what I want to hear

7. For catering to my picky food habits

8. For having the most awesome style (and for the throwback hand-me-downs)

9. For being the best gift-giver of all time

10. For recording our favorite shows and waiting for me to watch them

11. For being the "cool mom"

12. For gossiping with me and my friends

13. For wiping away my tears when life becomes too much

14. For covering me with a blanket when I fall asleep on the couch

15. For always encouraging me to be the best that I can be

16. For putting on a smile even when you aren't feeling up to it

17. For somehow always having all of the answers

18. For teaching me good manners

19. For showing me what it means to love

20. For monitoring my money and teaching me how to save it

21. For keeping tabs on me and showing how much you care

22. For not letting me get my belly button pierced four years ago

23. For encouraging family time on Sundays

24. For making the world's best meatballs and gravy

25. For helping me figure out who and what I want to be

26. For never taking the easy way out

27. For persevering through every difficult situation

28. For giving the best hugs

29. For always putting me first

30. For being the best mom in the whole entire world (I'm not biased or anything)

I love you more, the most, and the best. Happy Mother's Day, you deserve it.

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.

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.
