7 Reasons Why I'm Thankful for My Mom
Todd Fenstermaker

Mom, you do so much for me and I just want to say thank you. I may not say it as often as I should, but I want you to know that whether I say it out loud or not, I'm always thankful for the things that you do. Not just during the Thanksgiving holiday, but all year round. I can't imagine life without you! Here are just a few things I want to thank you for:

1. Thank you for loving me unconditionally

I know I say and do things that might make you upset, but you love me anyway. I know that your love for me could never be altered. Nothing is more comforting than having someone in your life who loves you through your mistakes and flaws, and doesn't love you any less because of them.

2. Thank you for picking me up when I am down

My pain is your pain and you always know exactly what I need to hear. You put everything else on hold to make sure that I'm okay and no one can lift me up the same way that you can. Something as simple as a hug from you is enough to change my mood.

3. Thank you for always being right

As much as I don't want to admit it, you are ALWAYS right. Even though I may not always listen to you and probably won't at times in the future, you are still teaching something. I learn from your wisdom everyday.

4. Thank you for supporting me

No matter what sport or event, you're there to cheer me on. Especially when I feel like I can't do it, you make sure to build me back up and make me feel stronger than ever. I couldn't do it without you.

5. Thank you for cleaning up after me

My room would look filthy if it wasn't for you. I know you hate cleaning up messes that you didn't cause, but I appreciate it when you do. Besides, you clean things much nicer than I ever could!

6. Thank you for putting me first

I'm your first priority and you always put me before yourself. You buy me things before buying for yourself and you make your plans around my plans. You always make sure that I'm taken care of.

7. Thank you for being my best friend

I feel so grateful to have such a a close relationship with you. You're my BFF, my parter in crime, and my shoulder to cry on. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have you right by my side.

I wish I could list all of the things you do that I'm thankful for, but that would take forever. You do more for me than I could ever ask for. You have made countless sacrifices to make sure that you could give me the best life possible. You are such an incredible and selfless woman. You are the exact person and mother I hope to be in the future. Thank you for everything, I love you.

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.
