To the Best, Best Friend I Will Ever Have

Dear Mom,

You have been my best friend, my hero, my doctor, and shrink. When I look back, I realize wouldn’t be where I am if it weren’t for you. You have shaped me into the person I am today. Through all of my tantrums, problems, and loads of drama, you have always stuck by my side. Through all of this, there were many times I forgot to thank you, and let's face it, You deserve all the thanks in the world.

Thank you for…

1. Dealing with my 100+ phone calls a week.

I know I didn’t go very far for college and I see you all the time, it is still not the same. I wish we could sit on the couch and shit talk for hours while watching every possible reality show. I look forward to our phone calls so we can fill each other in with all of the dramas, whether it comes from TV shows or real life.

2. Being personal chauffer for 18 years.

I can’t even count how many times you had to drive me to school because I missed the bus or overslept. Or when you would pick me up from the shore because I needed a break and just wanted to be home or even now, how many times you pick me up from school just so I can go home for the night.

3. Being the “cool mom.”

I can only hope that my children’s friends will feel as comfortable with me as my friends are with you. My friends would rather hang out with you and honestly, I don’t blame them. You are the funniest, nicest, and most caring person I have every met.

4. Brutal honesty.

You always tell it like it is. Even if I don’t want to hear it. Your advice means everything to me, mom. It really does. Boys, friends, school, it doesn't matter, you always know the right thing to say. Even if the truth does hurt.

5. Being you.

I, honestly, am so lucky to have the relationship that I have with my mom. She is quite possibly the bravest and most hard working woman I have ever met and I am lucky enough to call her Mom.

6. Being my best friend.

You empower me to be the best person I can be. You are my go-to, my confidant, my person, my best friend. Thanks for being my inspiration, role model, and someone who truly aspire to be.

Love always,
Your daughter

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.
