Dear Rocky,

A letter to my dog

Dear Rocky,
Kelsey Hirsch

Rocky,

You have and will always be the light of my life. You will always be my emotional support system, my best friend. You have continued to be such a heartwarming part of my life throughout the years.

Rocky, Roco Taco, Rocket Man, for eleven whole years you have made my life a happier, more comfortable time. You were the best gift I could of ever received, and when my dad brought you home on December 18th 2009, I immediately fell in love.

You taught me what it meant to love someone or something as much as I loved you. You showed me what it felt like to be loved unconditionally. You were my shoulder to cry on. You were my best listener. You were my greatest companion.

You seemed to always find a way to get up and play. You always put your family first. You changed my life in the brightest and happiest of ways. You changed my family's dynamic and our overall compassion. You have saved me from my darkest thoughts with your loving energy. You made me excited to come home after a long day.

You truly made a difference with how I view my life and how I love others. I love you more than I can even start to describe and I always will. I love you and your one of a kind personality.

This is exactly why I already miss you terribly. I do not know if you know this, but you have made unbelievably large impact on my life. You have been one of the greatest blessings in my life, but you have been suffering for a while, and it is you time. You have been strong for so long; strong for me, strong for my family, strong for our other dogs. You have been strong, but it is finally time for you to have the ability to rest.

The cancer had become too advanced and I need you to understand how much you mean to me. I wanted more than anything to keep you here longer, but the would have been cruel at the point you were at. You need to rest; you do not need to feel pain. I will always remember you, and I will keep you within my heart. Loving you has been an unforgettable joy. Please rest easy. I love you.

Love,

Kelsey (KellE)

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.
