Daddy Tell Me

You are never in my dreams, but they are.

I have dreamt about you but I do not dream about you.

I wish one day I will wake up and have the memory of you, daddy. I wake up all the time and I have dreamt of Colton and Collin. Yet I do not ever dream of you. I wish I knew what it was like to dream of you.

I do not know what it was like with you in my life. I will never know what it is like to have you in my life and to grow up with you. I just wish you would come in my dreams. I will never have the things many other girls have. I won't have you walk me down the aisle or clean your guns when you meet my boyfriend. I will not have you be there to say yes to the man I am going to marry, but first you would bust his balls. I wish you would just show up in my dreams. Maybe one day you will.

But I dream of my friends that pass. I dream that they are still there then I wake up and for a split second they are still alive for me. But daddy you never show up. I wish you would. I wish you would be there to just tell me you love me and that everything is okay. I wish you would tell me that you are proud of me and where I am going. I am always so nervous that I am not making you proud. I wish you would show up and tell me. I have joined the Army, I have almost finished my associates degree, I have met an amazing man, I have decided to be a psychologist, I have done so much yet you are not here. I wish you were here to tell me that you are proud of me. I miss you more than anything.

I just want you to show up in my dreams. To tell me you are happy that I am working hard, that you are proud of everything that I have done and will accomplish, and most importantly that you love me. I never remember hearing those words, I never will hear those words. Yet I just wish you would tell me.

Forever your baby girl,

Harley Ann

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.
