A Letter to My Grandparents
Bright Hub

Dear Mommom, Poppop, Grandma and Grandpa,

There are so many things that I wish I could've said to you before you left this world.

Grandma, I wish I would've been able to meet you and Grandpa. Even though I never got to meet both of you, I want to let you know that I love you with all my heart. Words can't describe how much I would have loved to meet you. Grandpa, same for you about what I said to Grandma. I hope you are both proud of me for who I have become so far. Poppop, words can't describe how much I miss you. I was so little when you left me. I didn't know what was going on. I'm sorry I never got to properly say goodbye to you. I didn't want you to leave me the way you did. I wanted you to live forever with Mommom and see me graduate high school and go to college. I wanted you to be able to see me get my first job and get married and meet your great-grandchildren. I miss and love you so much. Mommom, you always used to joke around with me because I was terrified of going to funerals ever since Poppop had passed. I miss our sleepovers together. We would have so much fun playing games together. We always would play war together and neither of us would win. You taught me how to play most of the games that I know how to play today. You always knew what I liked whether it was toys, games, food, clothes, everything. We always had our routines on the weekends. I'm so glad that you got to see me go to prom and perform in my first dance competition. You got to see me the day I graduated. Everybody that saw me when I walked in the building was congratulating me. You were so happy to see me that day. You were so happy that day that I got my first real job as a CNA. You always would ask if I was still working. I held that job out for 10 months for you. I'm going to school for what i love to do.

I hope you are all proud of the woman I am becoming today. Everything I do is for all of you and my parents. Thank you for giving me the best parents I could ever ask for. You raised them amazing and they raised me amazingly. I don't know what I would do without them. I'm gonna be another year older this year and I hope that this next year and the rest of my life, I make you proud and I hope that you are never ashamed of what I do. I hope you are all dancing and singing everyday in Heaven. Someday I will see you again. The day that I get to see you all, I will be running to you. Say hi to Sascha and all of our family members for me. I just want you all to know that I miss you so much. I love you.

Sincerely,

Your Granddaughter

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.
