An Open Letter To The Woman I Miss So Much

An open letter to someone I miss so dearly,

Grand mom, not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. Some days I have smiles about it, others I only have tears. The day you passed away, I didn’t believe it, and I just couldn’t believe it. I always new that the day you left us would be so very hard, but I never expected the day to actually come around. So many scares, yet you always ended up pulling through for us. You would always try to die on us grand mom, but we just wouldn’t let you!

You lived a great life and I’m beyond happy that I had the privilege to not only meet my gradmom, but to meet my great grand mom and have her in my life for such a long period of time. You were such a funny and happy soul. You new how to make people smile and bring out the best in people. It’s very hard to know that you’re not around anymore. You wanted nothing but peace and to be away from us crazy people. (I totally understand why) You had a good run, one hundred beautiful years.

I wish I could come visit you just one more time in your nursing home and we could laugh at all the wacky people that lived around you. I would be thrilled to yell at you just one more time so you could still barely hear me. I would like to pass on your melted chocolates that you’ve tried offering me. I miss you grand mom. You really knew how to make me smile and laugh without even trying. You were really a great woman inside and out.

Everything I do, I always look up and give a thought to you. You are my favorite guardian angel. As much as I didn’t want you to go, I really did need a angel on my shoulder to protect me at all times. I love you unconditionally and will never stop thinking about you and all the great times that we shared. I know you wouldn’t want me to be sad at all. I know you wanted nothing but happiness for yourself and us.

Thank you grand mom for popping poppers with me in your front yard when I was just a little girl. Thank you for making a HUGE bubble mess whenever we thought it was necessary. Thank you for our silly memories, grand mom. I constantly think of you hitting me in the butt with your cane trying to get me to do things for you. No one will ever take these memories from us.

Thinking about you always and forever grand mom, you will truly never be forgotten. I appreciate you popping up in my head every now and again; it makes me happy knowing your still here with me even though you’re up in heaven. Thanks for shining down on me when you see that I need a hand.

Love you forever and ever

-Casey

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.
