Dear Mom, I Can't Thank You Enough

The list would go on and on.

Dear Mom, I Can't Thank You Enough

Dear Mom,

Over the years, I have made it a constant thing to say I love you every day. But I have not made it a constant thing to say thank you to you every day. In thinking about that, I know that I can't even begin to thank you enough for what you have done for me, but I can try.

Thank you for always being there for me no matter what I need. It could range from being a quick hug to a new iPhone, and you will (almost) always give it to me. Your support means everything to me.

Thank you for encouraging me throughout the past 19 years. Without you, I would have never applied to be in the honors programs in High School or at University. I would have never pushed myself to do anything because I didn't believe in myself. But you believed in me and that's what mattered most.

Thank you for always finding time to talk to me. I know we both have very busy schedules and don't always find time to have long conversations every day, but if I am having a very bad day, you always rework your schedule to talk to me about whatever is bothering me.

Thank you for helping me to learn from my mistakes. Without you, I probably would not know about half of the mistakes I have made or could have been making, but thanks to you, I do. You always help me to understand what I did wrong and how I could have done it better. Who knows what kind of trouble I could have put myself in without your guidance.

Thank you for being you. You are the strongest person I know. You always help others before you help yourself, and you have never once complained about having to do it. You are always willing to help anyone you can, whether it's family or just someone who looks like they could use the help. You always have a smile on your face and try to make others laugh when they look like they're having a bad day. You always know just the right words to say.

You are a role model to so many. I wish to be like you some day. I could go on and on about everything you have done and how grateful I am for it, but that letter would be longer than the dictionary, so I think I should quit while I'm ahead. I just hope you know how amazing you are and how proud I am to know someone like you.

And lastly, although I know how hard I am to deal with sometimes, thank you for loving me just as much (if not more) than I love you.

Love,

Your Favorite Daughter and Best Friend

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.
