An Open Letter To My Cats

Why don't you love me as much as I love you?

An Open Letter To My Cats
Jesse Cwik

My dearest kittens,

Seriously, you guys...what the hell? I feed you every day. I leave my door open for you when I sleep so you can come and go when you want. I even clean up your poop! What gives? Why don't you reciprocate my love to you?

I know, I know, we've had some hard times, like when you ate my leftover pizza after I fell asleep on the couch and I woke up extremely angry. Or when you had a small "accident" in my favorite sneakers. Or when I kicked you off my computer keyboard because I had a paper due and all you wanted was my undivided attention Even through all these scenarios, I still adore your snuggly selves and could use some love.

You are so cute, extremely sassy, a little devious, attention hogs, nosey, so fluffy, and affectionate LIKE NEVER. We have been through so much together, like when you watched my cry because Shondra Rhimes crushed my heart and soul during Grey's Anatomy. You all kept me company when I was home alone. You follow me around the house all the time, even if I am just going to the next room. You even lay with me on the couch sometimes. You guys are my buddies but, to be honest, I'm feeling a little under-loved.

I wouldn't trade you guys for the world: you are my cats, my TV buddies, my pets, a little piece of my heart, and a huge pain in my butt. I don't understand you at all, but you are so weird and I love every minute of it. But, it's time to snuggle with me on the couch when we watch TV. It's time you let me pet you when you're being crabby because if I have to pet your belly two times--no more, no less or else you will spazz out--then I want to be able to pet you when you're laying on my bed.

Kittens, I love you dearly and I am blessed to have feline companions like you. But... SHOW ME SOME LOVE, CATS!

Sincerely,

Your very confused owner

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.
