If We Could All Love Like A Mother
Tymoore Art

The other day, someone asked me, “how would the world be if we all loved like a mother?”

I reclined into my seat to ponder on what my love for you meant, and a warm feeling ran across my body

It was then I realized that my love for you is unexplainable

For I loved you even before I laid my eyes on you

I fantasized about moments with you even before I knew what your name would be

You were physically a stranger but mentally more than a close friend

My willingness to give you a helping hand was not based on my familiarity with you

For my love for you is unconditionality

My love for you is not about your physical attributes or your ability to become successful

I live each day hoping the best for you and willing to help you grow in anyway I can

I do not hold you to your wrongs, for I understand we all make mistakes

I encourage you in your failures for I see your potentials even when the path seems unclear to you

I have no intention of wrong towards you for my heart aches when yours does

I am always there as a shoulder for you to cry on and as a counselor willing to provide advice

I love to help you grow but I also take joy in seeing you learn with no help

You came as a blessing to me and a blessing you will always be

My love is patient and kind

My love hopes, rejoices and preserves with you

My love would never fail nor would it cease

Now, I sit here looking out into the world as people go about their daily businesses

And I wonder what the world would be if people loved people by only a bit of how much I love you

The thought of such world brings warmth to my heart for I know my love for you is unmeasurable

If the world would ever feel a bit of what I feel for one another, how marvelous such a world would be

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.
