For The Hero You Always Needed, Your Mother

Everything that I feel needs to be said.

For The Hero You Always Needed, Your Mother
Kayla Resler

Dear Mom,

I want to start this letter off by thanking you. Thank you for giving me the best childhood that I could possibly have. Yes, it had some tough times, but I wouldn't change anything that happened for anything. Thank you for always being someone I can lean on. Thank you for always lending an ear to my plights. Thank you for always celebrating my successes with me. Thank you for always pushing me to do my best, even when I complained the whole way. Thank you for being such an amazing role model for me every day.

A lot of people compare me to you, and while they may mean it as an insult I am proud. If I could be like anyone in the world I am glad that it is you. You are the bravest, strongest, most loving person and I thank whatever or whoever is out there for making it so that you are my mother.

I am unsure where I would be if you weren't in my life, and I don't want to find out. My worst nightmare is waking up to find you gone. You are my rock. You are my best friend. You are everything to me, and it means the world to me that I mean the same to you.

You taught me so many things throughout my life. You taught me forgiveness, even when it seems impossible. You taught me strength in the face of the biggest challenges. You taught me courage in the face of fear. But most importantly, you taught me to keep fighting no matter the odds.

Everything I am is in some way because of you. To quote the Winchester brothers, "there ain't no me if there ain't no you." Without you in my life, I would be lost.

Words can't describe how much I love you. "Together forever never apart. Maybe in distance but never in heart" is the perfect way to sum up our relationship. No matter what is thrown at us, we will always have each other's backs and we will always be there when the other is in need.

You are my best friend and nothing will ever change that.

I love you, so much.

Love,

Kayla

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.
