An Open Letter To My Mom On Mother's Day
Courtney Loney

As Mother's Day quickly approaches I find myself wondering what gift to get this year. A candle? An outfit? Should I take you out for dinner? I know that no matter what I get you I want it to represent how much you really mean to me. You mean the world to me every day, but on a day like Mother's Day there are a few special things I really want to let you know.

I want to start off by thanking you. Thank you for being the best mom I could ever ask for. I know everyone says that, but I mean it. I could never thank you enough for everything you have done and continue to do for me. Thank you for raising me so well. Without you I would not have graduated high school in the top of my class, made the Dean's List in college or have made any of the accomplishments I continue to make every day. I don't know what I'd do without you. Thank you for always putting me before yourself and always making me feel like I'm important. Thanks for the Mother May I games, trips to Disney world, and toy store visits. Thanks for the days out shopping, reality TV marathons, and adventures with the puppies. Thank you for not only being my mom but my best friend as well. Thank you for being you.

Next, I just want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for my bitchy moments where I've been just plain mean. I'm sorry for the times when I said things I shouldn't have. Sorry for all the times I argued with you because you usually turned out to be right in the end. And I just want you to know I appreciate all you do. I'm sorry for the times when I'm super critical because you truly are the most amazing person I know. I'm sorry for everything I've done in the past or will do in the future that hurts you because that's the last thing I've ever wanted to do.

Lastly, I just want to tell you how much I love you. I know I'm older and it may seem like I'm around less, but you are and always will be one of the most important people in the world to me. You're my biggest role model as well. I love how caring you are. I love that you always know how to make me laugh. I love that I have such a close relationship with you because I know not many mothers and daughters get to be this close. I love spending time with you. Whether we're at home goofing around or on an extravagant vacation, I'm always having a good time when I'm with you. Mom, just always remember I love you with all my heart.

All and all, I love you mom and I always will. You are the most amazing mother I could ever ask for. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for me. I am beyond lucky to call you my mom. Happy Mother's Day to my biggest supporter, my rock, and my forever best friend.

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.
