An Open Letter To My Adoring Mom

Mom,

Words do not even begin to describe the appreciation that I have for you. It is no secret to this world that you are one of the most beautiful human beings to ever walk this earth. I would bet my life that I am not the only one that feels that way. The light and love that you bring to a room is nothing short of irreplaceable.

Thank you for laughing with me so hard that we fall to the floor with tears streaming down our faces.

Thank you for making me get up and be productive even when it's the last thing I want to do.

Thank you for changing what we're having for dinner just because I'm picky.

Thank you for the surprises that make life a little more exciting.

Thank you for the fights because they showed me how petty it is to try to hold a grudge against someone that loves you more than anything else on the planet.

Thank you for the vacations that gave me the chance to have adventure in my life.

Thank you for hopping from field to field and school to school to make sure you caught part of each of us kiddo's sports games.

Thank you for not being afraid to tell me how it is and always keeping my best interest at heart.

Thank you for hugging me a little tighter and a little longer when you know that I need it.

Thank you for giving me unlimited data and not the other 3 siblings of the family, you sure know how to make a girl feel special.

Thank you for the traditions that give every special occasion a special meaning.

Thank you for doing your best to put my pieces back together when a teenage boy breaks my heart.

Thank you for working your hardest to make sure our family is provided with everything we could ask for and more.

Thank you for believing in me and making sure I know my worth.

No matter how many times I've yelled at you, slammed my bedroom door, attempted and failed to give you the silent treatment, came home late, made excuses, not done what you told me to do, etc,, know that I am sorry for anything I have put you through and that I am forever grateful for your unconditional love. It takes a strong woman with a full heart to put up with me and there is no one I would rather have to guide me through this roller coaster they call life. I learn something from you each and every day. It's because of you that I am who I am today and I would truly be lost without you.

Thank you for being you. I will never stop loving you with everything in my being.

XOXO,

Your dearest Brianna.

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.
