Dear Daddy...

Dear Daddy,

I would not be the woman I am today without everything you have done for me. I can't say this enough but thank you. Thank you for all the nights that you let me sit on your lap and cry on your shoulder. Thank you for giving a boys perspective on girls, and telling me which guys didn't deserve me. Thank you for the copious amounts of advice given to me over the years, and never being afraid to "tell it like it is". Thank you for screaming, "Make good choices!" every morning while dropping me off at school or a friends house. Thank you for being a great friend but most of all a dad that every girl dreams of.

You have been there for me through it at all. You were there when boys broke my heart, when my grandfather's passed away, and you were there for every surgery. You held me when I was sick, and you held me when I was healthy. You have always been there, no matter what. Even with states between us, you have never failed to put a smile on my face. Whether I see you in person, or over FaceTime, I can't help but be so grateful to have you as my dad.

You have always tried your best to give me everything, and sometimes you weren't able to make that happen but that's okay because you gave me the best gift of all: your love and loyalty. Your love and loyalty has helped shape me into who I am today, and it will never be forgotten. You have given me so much love over the years, and let me be my own person. You have always let me follow my dreams, and you have always supported them. Without the endless support from you, I don't know how I could be pursing my dream right now. All I can say now is thank you Dad.

Thank you for your love, support, loyalty, and safety. Thank you for always being a great dad to my friends, because trust me, they LOVE you. Thank you for always showing me the right way, and being not just my dad, but my friend.

I love you with all my heart,

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.
