A Letter to My Grandma In Heaven
Maria Mastrocesare

Dear Grandma,

I never really thought about what it would be like when you were no longer here. Now here I am, being forced to think about it because that’s what it has come to. There’s so many things I wish I could tell you. So many things I wish we could laugh about together. You were my favorite person to laugh with, because you were always the cause of it, even if that wasn't your initial intention. The things you said were some of the funniest, most truthful things I've ever heard in my life. With you, there was no filter. What you thought and felt was heard and you didn't seem to care if you were offending anyone. That was one of my favorite things about you, and also one of the attributes I hope to develop from you as my life goes on. At family gatherings, you were the life of the party. You talked to everyone and entertained everyone like it was your job, but you didn't seem to mind one bit. You were one of those people who other people loved being around. Your lively attitude was contagious and so many people admired you because of it.

It’s safe to say that I miss you, my siblings miss you, my cousins miss you, because you were our Grandmother. That figure in our life that we always looked forward to seeing. When we knew we were going to be seeing you, we couldn't wait for your hugs and kisses. You always looked at us as if we were the most beautiful of God’s children. You made us feel so special. We always knew that if we had problems, we could come to you and you would give us the best advice, and without a doubt have something hilarious to say to cheer us up.

If I could have one more conversation with you, I would make sure to thank you. I would thank you for teaching me how to love life through your example. I would thank you for showing me the importance of family and how great it feels to be surrounded by the people you love. I would thank you for raising my mom to love me as much as you loved her. And lastly, I would thank you for being my grandma, because I couldn't have asked for a better one.

I miss you more and more every single day. I love you so much.

Love,

Your Granddaughter

RIP Dee Dee, 1/9/2016

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.
