To My Mom, My Best Friend, And Number One Fan All In One

We may not see eye to eye, but God blessed me with the best.

To My Mom, My Best Friend, And Number One Fan All In One

Dear Mom,

I know we might not always see eye to eye at times, or we might not always get along all the time, but without you, I would be nothing. You are more than my mom; you're my hero. You have gone through hell and back with your sickness and with all that's happened to you. You may feel as though we (Christopher, Bradley and I) don't appreciate you, but trust me, we do more than you know. I realize more and more how much you do for us now that I'm on my own at college.

Thank you for waking me up for school and making sure I always went with a stomach full and a lunch packed. Thank you for giving me the best education I could've gotten no matter what the price was. It may have taken me longer to realize it, but you just wanted the best for me. Thank you for making sure I made it on time to every cheer practice, soccer game, and softball game.Thank you for always having my back when Dad gets angry at me, and for talking him out of my punishments (hehehe). Thank you for never judging me for anything I tell you and always having a ear to listen to me. Most of all, thank you for your unconditional love.

There are times when we argue, and we don't speak. We used to not get along well, and that caused us to bicker. The reason being that you're very stubborn, and as much as I hate to say it, I am too. But what can I say? I get it from my momma. But without you being by my side to pester me about my health or annoy me with your articles every day about what I'm eating, I know that I would miss that terribly if anything were to happen to you.

Being at college and not having my mom to hold my hair back when I get sick and I'm throwing up, or whenever I just need a home-cooked meal is tough. It sucks not having you here. We may not always agree with each other, and both of us are very stubborn and argumentative, but know that when I'm angry or upset with you, I couldn't imagine having a better mom than the one God blessed me with. You'll always be my number one fan and best friend. Thank you for all you've done for me and all you continue to do.

Love you more momma.

XOXO

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.
