Dear Momma, Here Are The Thing I Don't Say Enough

Nobody loves me like you do.

Momma,

We have not always had the ideal relationship, and we have (like all teenage girls and their moms) definitely had our ups and downs, but that doesn't mean I don't love you and appreciate everything you do for me. I always know that no matter what, I can count on you, and that isn't something all girls my age can say.

I know that you would do anything in your power for me and that you love me 100% unconditionally. You also don't mind telling me when you don't agree with something I do, but that's okay I give it right back. It just feels good to know at the end of the day that you will always be on my side. Nobody loves me like you do, and I want you to know that I know that, and I love you too.

My two very favorite things that you have taught me, and that I will teach to my kids is this: "To say you're sorry means that you will never do it again." That is honestly something I have tried very hard to live by, and one of the many things I appreciate the most that you have taught me.

The other one is "It has to get worse before it will get better." This has gotten me through so many things in life. Through sickness, personal battles, school, etc.

To me, it means that for anything to get better, it has to get bad first and that just because it's bad doesn't mean it won't get better. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

I love you so much Momma, and I do not know what I would do without you. There is nobody I would rather have by my side. Thank you for being you.

Love,

Josie Mae

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.
