A Letter To My Parents

No love is greater than mom's love and no care is greater than a dad's care.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I know that I have not been a perfect child by no means, but you have taught me an abundance of life lessons. We disagree on a lot of things and argue over every little thing in the world. I know it may seem like I could care less to be around you or even talk to you, but that’s far from true. We may fuss and fight and go at each other’s throats a lot, but there is absolutely no other people I would rather have as parents than you guys.

You have been there for me and supported me in everything I have ever done. You guys are my biggest support system. I know I don’t tell you this enough but thank-you for everything. Thank- you for pushing me to do my best in school, sports, and in life. Thank-you for being a loving Christian family. Without you, I don’t know what I would do!

You guys are my biggest inspiration and role models. Mom, you work so hard to be a loving mother while juggling school and work. You are dedicated to not only bettering yourself but bettering our lives as well. Dad, you are the backbone of our family, without you nothing would be possible. You work long hard hours to provide for us. You work hard to ensure that we will be able to have a better life. You guys inspire me to be better and to see the good in people. I am who I am because of you two.

I love you guys more than anything. I am beyond blessed to have such God loving parents. I am blessed to have parents that would rather lift people up and be there friend than to tear them down. I know our family may not be perfect in societies eyes, but in mine, there is nothing more perfect. You guys are the best and I am honored to be able to say that I am your daughter. I love you guys more than you will ever know.

Sincerely,

Your grateful daughter!

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.
