An Open Letter To Everyone Who Has Helped Me
Kaitlyn Marquette

I just want to start out by saying thank you. To those of you reading this, you know who you are. I am so thankful for your being so welcoming to me. You have always done everything you can to invite me to your family events and activities, and to make me feel wanted.

Most of you know about the things that I have went through. I have learned that my past does not define me, and I want to thank each and every one of you that aided me in believing that. I love you all.

To my ex's family: thank you for still being open and welcoming to me. Thank you for always making me feel loved and wanted and apart of the family no matter what. Thank you for always inviting me and including me and cheering me up. Thank you.

To my current boyfriend's family: thank you so much for being open and welcoming to me as well. Thank you for trusting me and helping me out when I needed it, whether it be for myself, or for my brother. Words cannot describe how much that means to me. Thank you for coming to me for help when you need it too. Thank you.

To my stepdad and his family: thank you for raising me to be the person I am today. Thank you for continuing to include me and love me, despite what happened to me, and the time it took me to realize that you've been there for me and loved me all along. I'm so sorry for the period of time I resented you. That was not me. I have always loved you and I have always been thankful for you. I still am, and I would not want anyone else as my family.

And to the rest of my family and friends, I want to thank you, too. You're all about to witness something great, and that is all thanks to your support. I love you all beyond words.

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.
