Dear Mom, I'm Sorry For...

Not being able to give you the world, because that's what you deserve.

Dear Mom,

I'm sorry for all of the times I ask you to hold my stuff. For some reason, when I was five I guess I developed this thought in my mind that you had super strength, and that you could hold everything for me because I didn't want to.

I'm sorry for being 13. The reasoning behind that is pretty self-explanatory.

I'm sorry for thinking that I know everything.

I'm sorry for all of the times I told you that I hated you when I was in high school. That was not true then, and it never will be. I love you forever.

I'm sorry for thinking that I know everything, and not taking your advice. It's easy for us as kids to have an attitude about our parents that they couldn't possibly understand what we're going through. When in reality, they have faced every single problem we haven't even encountered yet, and we should just listen to them.

I'm sorry for all of the times I left my shoes out in the living room, and you tripped over them.

I'm sorry for piling up an ungodly amount of cups in my room. And then for bringing 20 down at one time.

I'm sorry for not calling you enough.

I'm sorry for that time I asked you if my friend could spend the night right in front of her, even though I knew that would make you mad.

I'm sorry for the times that I kept you up at night worrying that I would make it home.

I'm sorry for the nights I complained about what was for dinner, not appreciating the time that you spent cooking.

I'm sorry for not appreciating everything that you do for me every single day.

But most importantly, I'm sorry for not being able to give you the world. Becuase that's what you deserve.

Thank you for being my support system, my friend, and my mom.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
