A Thank-You Letter to My Family

To the best people in my life,

Thank you. Seriously, thank you, first off, for being in my life period. I can't express how much it means to me you're still here with me on this journey. I love you more than anything, and I couldn't get through the day without you.

Thank you for not giving up on me. Especially during all the times I have wanted to give up on myself, and thank you for pushing me to do better for myself. So many people in my life have given up and walked away, and it's truly special when people stay. I hope we have a very long and prosperous adventure through life together.

Thank you for loving me unconditionally. I know I can be a pain and be beyond aggravating, and that's why it means so much to me that you still love me through it all. I'm sure I've made you mad at least once, and I'm sure it was one of those times where you probably said "I love you, but right now, I don't like you." And to be quite honest, I'd rather hear that daily then deal with having you absent from my life.

Thank you for supporting me in everything I do. Whether it be writing this article, preparing for an exam, or going after any goal I want, your words of encouragement have been my motivation this entire time. My favorite words are when you say "I believe in you, you got this".

Through the years you've always been my shoulder to lean on for everything, and I hope throughout time I can return the favor.

Thank you.

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.
