An Open Letter To My Mom

Dear Mom,

I want to start this letter by saying thank you. Thank you for driving me to practice. Thank you for going homecoming and prom dress shopping with me. Thank you for listening to me when I'm ranting about my day. Thank you for being there when I had my heart broken. Thank you for not telling Dad things I told you not to. Thank you for being the best friend I could ever have.

You are my role model and you are one of my favorite people. I may not say this enough but I love you and I'm glad you're my mom. You put up with my wild mood swings and thank you for that. You don't judge me because you've been my age once and you understand.

I also want to apologize for everything I put you through. You were there when I was in my teenage years and hated everything. You still loved me when we had our fights. You still loved me when I gave you the silent treatment. Through all of our fights, I still loved you, Mom. It may have not have seemed like it but I did.

You are one of the strongest people I know. You taught me how to be my own person. You taught me how to be accepting of other people. You taught me that I should go for my dreams. You and Dad always supported my decisions pertaining to school or to life in general. Even when I don't know how to express my feelings, you know. You know when I struggle and you lend me your support, unconditional love, and a hug.

You have the biggest heart I ever seen in a person. I know that you would do anything for me and I would do the same. You are the reason I'm here and I love you so much. Thank you is not enough for what you have done for me. I'll always be your little girl who loves "The Little Mermaid" and "Mulan".

Love always,

Your baby

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.
