AN OPEN BIRTHDAY CARD TO MY MOM
Personal

Mom,

I cannot think of someone more deserving of a whole birthday month. We celebrate you for 31 days which does not even come close to the 334 days you spend celebrating us. Even during your birthday month, you spend time giving to not just me but this family. I just want to start by thanking you for all you do for me and this family.

Even though you live 130 miles away I always feel like you are right here with me. I always can count on you to answer the phone when I call, and I really do not know what I would do without constantly calling you. Thank you for always listening to me and for always being there for me no matter the distance.

No matter how old I grow I will always love cuddling up to you in bed and just talking about anything that comes to my mind. You are always there for me especially when I feel so alone. When dad could not be home with us you were the one that was always there. Thank you for always comforting me and always letting me know that everything is going to be ok.

Even on my worst days, you know how to put a smile on my face. When I feel like crying you always know how to make me laugh. Thank you for all the joy and happiness that you have filled my life with.

If it were not for you I would not even be here today. You gave me life and that is something that I could never fully give back to you. I could not think of a better person to call mom. Thank you not just for giving me life, but for giving me the best life anyone could ever ask for.

The world truly is a better place with you here in it. The amount of joy you have brought into my life, as well as so many other lives, is indescribable. Thank you for being a light in this world and most importantly thank you for being the best example a daughter could have.

Even though your birthday month is coming to a close you are still celebrated and loved all year long. I know that I may not always be the best at constantly reminding you just how much you mean to me. However, not one day goes by without me being thankful for the mother I have.

I know that there are no gifts or words that could ever amount to what you have given me. I hope this birthday month was one to remember. Happy Birthday to the best mom a girl could ask for.

Love Always,

Madison

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
