A Letter To My Boyfriend's Parents
Kamaljith K V

Six years with your son is a long, long time. But, I haven't only spent those years with him, I've also spent them with you. This letter serves as a giant thank-you for everything you've done for me. It never goes unappreciated and I am so thankful for having a second family that loves me so well.

Thank you for making me feel welcome.

From countless meals, to holidays, to vacations, you always think to include me and I can't express enough what that means to me. From day one I have felt a part of your family and I owe that to your hospitality and your graciousness towards me. I have always been able to be myself around you and feel at home and I thank you both so much for that.

Thank you for taking me on adventures I could have never dreamed of.

Before I started dating Matthew, I knew nothing about sports, but you all have made me an avid Georgia, ECU, Nationals, Hurricanes and NASCAR fan. Tagging along on family beach trips has also been such a fun adventure and no matter how many times we go to Atlantic Beach, I cherish it just the same. Seeing and doing brand new things is such a gift, so thank you for inviting me.

Thank you for loving me for me.

You have watched me grow from a freshman in high school to a junior in college. You've seen all the awkward stages in between. But, through the growth you have supported me and encouraged me. You've played a role in giving me courage and boldness to chase my dreams and stand up for what I believe in. So, thank you for always loving me for exactly who I have grown to be and encouraging me every step of the way,

Thank you for raising my best friend.

Matthew has the best qualities of both of you and I can never, ever thank you enough for raising a man that respects me and cares for me so well. It is so rare to see a young man be so thoughtful, protective and responsible as he is and that is just a reflection of the examples you both are to him. He is my very best friend and I am so grateful that he was raised to be the man he is.


You both mean so much to me, and this is only a small portion of what I have to thank you for. I love ya'll!

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.
