An Open Letter To My Boyfriend's Grandmother
Allison Jordan

To My Boyfriend’s Grandmother,

I want to start off this letter by letting you know that I will be forever grateful for having met you. From day one you have treated me like family when you didn’t have to. I wasn't lucky enough to have had my own grandparents in my life for very long, unfortunately, I wasn't even able to meet two of them. I have envied those who have been able to grow with their grandparents by their side; I envy your grandchildren, they are extremely lucky.

Once I met the guy of my dreams, your grandson, I was able to meet the most selfless, caring, kind, generous, precious woman that reminds me a lot of my own grandmothers - you. You really truly are amazing and I love you as if you were my own grandmother. Sometimes you just need a hug from a grandmother, someone who is there to pass no judgements. Thank you for being that hug I can always count on.

I could sit with you all day and listen to your stories. To see you light up when you talk about old memories and the smile that appears across your face…it’s contagious. You can walk in a room and make everyone in it instantly happy, I don't know how you do it; it's kind of magical. You're kind of magical.

You are a strong courageous woman, caring for others long before you care for yourself. Caring for someone when they are sick is a selfless act of love. Seeing the love you and Paw-paw shared was intoxicating, it’s a love that I hope your grandson and I will share…forever.

Even through all the things you were going through you didn’t forgot about anyone, you DON'T forget about anyone. I never expected or thought I would get gifts or anything from someone else’s family on my birthday or any other holiday for that matter but you never missed one. You never left me out; you never leave anyone out actually, no matter how much he or she may deserve to be at one point or another. I always feel included and loved. Thank you for that. And thank you for telling me you love me, it's three simple words that can change anyones day, it changes my day. I know I am not blood but you treat me as such and that is something that I will cherish forever.

Thank you for being the type of person you are, you are the glue that holds your family together... their voice of reason. Thank you for welcoming me in with open arms. Thank you for having such an amazing grandson. Thank you for treating me like family and for loving me as much as I love you. You are a remarkable woman.

From,

An Appreciative Girlfriend Who Will Love You Forever

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.
