An Open Letter To My Owner, Try Not To Cry
Clyde Troche

Dear Clyde,

I got the letter you wrote me. I enjoyed reading every word in black and white. When are you coming back? I am starting to feel like you have abandoned me. I don't see you as much as I used too. The house is getting lonelier and lonelier as my days past. Nathan is almost gone too. He has one more year of school and he is off. It's never been the same since you left. Your brothers are always on their phones or playing video games. I usually just spend my days laying here watching the sunrise and the sunset. I miss you, Clyde.

Is it time for you to come home now? I've been waiting for so long. In my universe, you have been gone for 32 years. It surprises me that I still remember you. I could never forget you, I still smell your scent around the house as if you are here. I get myself so high to just realize that you aren't here. It sucks when you call your brothers and your parents, and I could hear you on the other side of the phone. I really want to talk to you, but I can't.

My 56th birthday in dog years is coming up in two months. I hope you can make it back home so we can go for a car ride or ice cream. That would be nice. I miss your company. You are always fun to be around. When you are around, you give me so much attention. I wish I had that every day. I wish I was just up in general. I am getting weaker and losing the motivation to do anything. I just want to be a couch potato.

How is school? I heard you are graduating this year. Grandma and I can't wait to be there. Grandma and Grandpa said they are not leaving until they see you cross the stage. I am with them! Hurry though because time is short.

My paws are beginning to hurt, but I love you and miss you bud. Come home very soon! I do not know how much longer I have, but I still got some fight left. When you get back, I promise I will be the happiest dog in the world. I am going to make you feel like a celebrity, but you have to come home. When you get back we can do all the fun things like poop dashing. You remember, when I use the potty outside somewhere and we then run away. We can also play hide and go seek. That was always a fun game. So hurry home so we can play!

Your Lovely Pitbull,

Zoey

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.
