Dear Cancer - You Suck

I hate you for the hurt. I hate you for the loss. I hate you existing.

Dear cancer:

You suck – you cause pain, hurt and loss. You are a villain that has caused more hurt than the Joker, Darth Vader and Cruella Deville combined. You have ripped apart families, cut lives short and caused so many tears. Why must something so ugly and hurtful as you exist?

You have taken parents, grandparents, children, aunts, uncles, cousins, husbands, wives and friends from people who needed them. You have taken memories and plans, and replaced them with dark moments and heartache.

You’re gruesome. You’re ugly. You’re disruptive. You can make the strongest people seem the weakest, the most fragile. You rip families and lives apart. You’re the definition of a menace. You shouldn’t exist.

I don’t understand why you chose my loved one. I don’t know why you had to take someone so precious, kind-hearted and beautiful away. You took one of the strongest people I had ever known, and changed them. You changed my family. You changed me. You took one of the brightest smiles this world had away, and I cannot hate you enough for that.

I hate you for taking away someone that I loved so much. I hate you for taking such an inspirational person. I hate you for cutting the time we had to spend together. I hate you for hurting my family. I hate you for being the disgusting monster that you are. I hate you. You suck, and you shouldn’t exist.

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.
