An Open Letter To My Mom
Nyah Jordan

Dear Mom,

Thank you are two words that you don't hear as often as you should, but simply saying thank you isn't enough to show you how much I appreciate you and everything that you do for me. You have been there for since day one, and I honestly wouldn't want another person by my side. Even though you're my mom first, you are also my best friend. You are someone that I can always come to no matter what dumb thing I've done and I know that you're not going to judge me.

You are the most powerful woman that I know. Even through times of adversity, you have always managed to keep your strength. You are incredibly compassionate and giving. Thank you for keeping me sane and helping me through AP classes and for loving me even when I'm being difficult. Thank you for supporting me in every single speech and debate tournament. Thank you for all of the inside jokes and gossip. Thank you so much for everything that you have done for me. I wouldn't be the person who I am today without you.

Although this article may be extremely cliché, I feel that my mom needs to hear this; I think all moms need to hear this really. I may not show it all the time, and I definitely don't say this as often as I should, but thank you, Mom. I love you. Your love and guidance has taught me so much through the 16 years I have been on this Earth. I hope that I can have your fierce attitude towards life. You're beautiful, strong and loving, and it would be an honor to be half the amazing woman you are when I grow up.

Love,

Nyah

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.
