An Open Letter To My Mom

No matter what we go through, and no matter how much we argue I know in the end, she will always be there for me.

An Open Letter To My Mom
Jessica Handy

A mother's love is the type of love you can't receive from anyone else. It's a special kind of love. It's a love that has no limits. A mother pushes you to be the best person you can be. Mom, this one is for you.

Dear Mom,

I don't tell you enough how much I appreciate you. You do so much for me and even when I don't voice I appreciate it all, just know I do. Also, just know that I love you. I love you so much. I know I might not act like it all the time, but I do. You are my rock. When things are rough, you're always there. When I want to rant (which is all the time) you just sit and listen and then usually give me advice about how I need to handle the situation. You might think I don't take your advice to heart, but I do. If I didn't have you I honestly have no idea what I would do. You keep me sane I swear. I know I make life hard on you sometimes and I apologize. We have been through some rough trials, let me tell you. Truthfully though I wouldn't take anything that has happened back because all that has happened has brought us closer together. I am sorry for the times I've let you down though. You don't deserve to be let down, but you do deserve the world. You're the strongest person I know. You have been through it all and still manage to keep it together. You have sacrificed so much for me and it means more than anything to me. I am so blessed to have you as my mother. I love you so much. You are my entire world, whether you know it or not. Thank you for sticking by my side, always.

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.
