Hey Mom And Dad, It's Me

I realized I didn't thank y'all enough.

Hey Mom And Dad, It's Me

Hey mom and dad. It's me.

I love y'all. And thank you

Now that I'm away at college I realize how much y'all do for me and how often I forgot to say thank you. So Thank you.

Thank you for being my chauffeur to and from school, friends houses, volleyball games and early morning power lifting meets. I know it couldn't have been easy getting up and driving me anywhere, but thank you. I'm having to drive myself places now and I am beginning to miss sitting in the back seat and singing along to songs with you.

Thank you for being my biggest supporters. Y'all never failed to be there at every performance, concert, game, meet and banquet. You were always in the front row seat cheering me on and reminding me that I can do anything I set my mind to. Y'all showed me endless love and support. You taught me how to do my best with everything I do.

Thank you for being my best friends. You were there anytime I needed to cry or needed to go on a sonic run. Y'all let me vent to y'all about everything and would remind me that God is always in control. Y'all were there for every triumph and every defeat. You helped me pick myself back up when I felt like I had hit rock bottom.

Thank you for showing me how to love and be loved. Because of y'all I know to love with all I have and to not accept anything less from anyone. You taught me how to love myself and never forget it.

Thank you for helping me reach my dreams. If it weren't for y'all I wouldn't be where I am today. Y'all pushed me to be the best me I can be. Y'all kept reminding me that I can make it where I won't to go. Thank y'all for helping me notice the open doors around me and for helping me close the ones that I didn't need.

Thank you for always being just a call away. I know that at any moment I can call y'all and talk about anything. Y'all are there for me through everything. From needing help with my car to just wanting to talk about people, I know y'all will always answer when I call.

Thank you and I love y'all so much.

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.
