An Open Letter to my Mom.


I know life can be so tough. We have been through so much together... from my first steps, to my first broken heart, and even the day I left for college. You have been my rock... so here's a couple things I appreciate.

Your words of advice.

When I have no idea which path to take... you always guide me. I know I've make some pretty stupid decisions, but you never turn your head. You always pick me up, and remind me how much I am loved. You're advice has saved me, and I appreciate every word.

The way you say "I love you".

There are so many people who have said those words to me. Each one is so important, but yours... it brings a sense of unconditional love. I hear these words when I'm all alone, and my mind won't stop running. Yours will stay with me forever, and I will always appreciate those moments.

Your perfume.

I know, something so simple, but so important to me. When I walk in the house... I smell your perfume. It reminds me I'm home... a place that I love. Please, for me, never change your perfume. That perfume will always remind me of you. I appreciate the fact that you wear it because I love it so much.

Your smile.

I never realized how much I loved your smile until I couldn't see it everyday. When you walk into a room, and grin from cheek to cheek... the world stops spinning. You have the most contagious smile, and every time you smile... I smile. I appreciate your smile because it makes my world happier.

The way you taught me to love.

I always watch the way you love people. You love so passionately, and everyone around you can see it. You taught me that in order to receive love... you must give love. I will always love people the way I do because of you. I really appreciate this love you taught me because it has gave me people to hold onto.

Your unconditional love.

You have loved me for so many years. You hold my hand when I cry, and rejoice in my triumphs. When I begin to question if anyone could love me... I remember that you do. Your love is so important to me, and I appreciate the way you love me.

You are a safe place to fall. I will always love you, and appreciate everything you have done for me.

I love you... forever and always.

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.

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.

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.
