Dear dad,

I know you're scared, I'm growing up, I'm starting to become more independent, more mature, I'm turning into that adult that you wished I would be. Back when I was that 5 year old girl who wouldn't stop running around the house screaming and laughing, no matter how bad your head hurt you tried your hardest not to yell at me. I know I don't always make you smile and happy, and I will do things that you may disagree with and I'm sorry but I'm trying to be happy. I'm trying to do what I feel will benefit my life best. But I want you to always remember that I will always be your little girl. Yes, I will make guy friends, and I will find my Prince Charming that I've been dreaming about since I was a little girl. I also know that once you meet that Prince Charming you will feel as though he isn't good enough for me, but I promise you dad if I brought him to meet you, he treats me like the princess I should be treated like. But you will always be the first man I fell in love with, and I couldn't thank you enough for all you do for me. Thank you for keeping the roof over my head, keeping food on the table, having a bed to sleep in at night, helping pay for college, and most importantly loving our family and putting us first no matter what. Yes we fight, and yes there has been tears but I know I got lucky getting a dad like you. There are some people in this world today that have never met their father, and some who don't even talk to their dad. I'm one of the lucky ones to still have you in my life no matter how much stress I caused, and how many grey hairs I've caused you. You really don’t know how much your advice means to me. You may think it goes in one ear and out the other, but it doesn’t. Thanks to you, I am the person I am today. I promise, you don’t have to worry. I love you dad❤️

Always & forever,

Your little girl❣️

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.
