Mom,

They say that your mom will be your best friend for life, and the more I grow up I come to realize that more and more. So here's to you, Mom.

First, I want to say thank you. Thank you for the endless support and love that you have given me, for listening at any time of the night, and for always giving the best advice. You'll never know how much that truly means to me. The more I grow, I come to realize that you're my best friend in the world, and I am so glad that I get to share my life with you. I can't thank you enough for all of the endless nights you spent cooking and cleaning. For all of the extras you provide me when you don't have to. and most of all, for giving me life and for putting every single one of your kid's needs before yourself. There's not enough time in the world to thank you for that. Thank you for being the super woman that you are. There are so many days that I sit and wonder what I did to deserve a mom like you, and there truly isn't an answer. God blessed me with one of the best women in the world to be my mom, and I couldn't be more thankful for that.

Second, I want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all of the times that I disrespected you and called you things that will stick in my head for the rest of my life. You don't deserve half of the things thrown at you, but after every fight you always still love me. Thank you. I'm sorry for all the nights I let you cry over something I said or did. I promise I didn't mean it, and I hope you know how much I wish that I could take it back. You are my backbone, and I'm so sorry for treating you badly. I hope you know how much I love you, and that I will forever be by your side,

Last, I want you to know how much you are loved. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about calling you to tell you about my day. We may not always talk, but I am always thinking about you. You are such an amazing person, Mom, and I hope you realize that. I have never met someone else in my life that puts everyone they meet before themselves. I hope you know your kindness does not go unnoticed, and you are one special woman. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for everything you have done for me over the years. I love you with all of my heart, Mom, and I hope you know I will always be your little girl.

So thank you, for not only being my best friend, but also my mom. I don't know what life would be like without you.


Love,

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.
