7 Things I Never Thanked My Dad For
Morgan Carter

I know growing up I never told you how much I really do love you and I never got to thank you for the little things you did for me. I just want to thank you for the little moments, that were actually quite big for me.

1. Our runs for fast food. This was one of my favorite things to do together when I was younger, it was like our own world. Plus it got to be a secret from mom.

2. Car rides together when you sang to me. I loved you driving me to school, telling to put you on my "snap to the chat" all my friends thought you were hysterical.

3.You visiting me at work. It was a nice surprise even when I said you were embarrassing me, it made the long days so much better.

4. When I am mad at you, you make me laugh. I know I tell you I do not find it funny, but you know by the smile on my face you did make it better.

5. Sticking up for me even when I told you I did not want you to. I still do not like that you stood up for me when I specifically told you not to. I do however appreciate you wanted what is best for me and trying to protect me no matter what.

6. Your nicknames for me. I love that you call me doodle no matter how much I say I don't.

7.Our phone calls. I love hearing the funny voices you make, it makes me homesick for a place I never thought I would miss so much.

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.
