An Open Letter To My Mom, The One Who Believed In Me
Kia Isherwood

Dear Mom,

There are no words to describe how you have impacted my life. You gave birth to me, and you raised me all my 18 years into who I am today.

I just want you to know that I haven’t taken any of that for granted. I always think about what you have given up for me, and it is unbelievable how thankful I am for everything. Things were not easy for you to take care of three children, but you made it work. You went through a lot of downsides, but you always made it through. That has shown me that you are strong.

I have always admired how strong you are. It gives me the motivation to keep on going when times get tough. You never gave up when it got hard, and that makes me believe that nothing can’t be worked through.

You were there for my performances from elementary to high school. You were there through all my successes, all my failures, and when I didn’t know what to do. When I failed, you picked me back up. You always believed in me, and that means so much to me. You always thought of me as a superstar in your life.

Through my successes, you were there to cheer me on and tell me that you knew I could do it. Your support has been the one thing that has gotten me to where I am right now. I don’t know where I’d be if you didn’t believe in me.

I am forever thankful for everything you had to offer. Like, all the pointless times I needed money to hang out with friends. If I wanted the most updated technology, you made sure I got it. Even though we didn’t have money to really spend or use childishly, you still gave me something.

Every Christmas, you made sure I got a gift. No matter what it was, I am unbelievably thankful. I just want you to know that you gave me the world, and I won’t take it for granted. I’m doing something with my life, because I know that’s all you ever wanted.

You want me to succeed, and I promise mom, I will not let you down.

I will make you proud because you did a great job as a mother. I just want to show you that your hard work wasn’t for nothing. You made me into a strong woman and I thank you every day for that. I love you with all my heart, Mom. You’re the best.

Sincerely, your daughter

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.
