A Letter To My Amazing Mom From Your Grateful Daughter
Author's photo

I love my mother as trees loves water and sunshine. She helps me grow, prosper, and reach great heights. -Terry Guillemets

Mom, let me first start off by saying that I love you. I love you even when you yell at me about how dirty my room is. I love you even when you tell me I can’t do something I really want to do. I love you even when we fight about who’s right, even though it’s almost always you. I love you when you yell at me for climbing into your bed for some early morning cuddles (you’re never too old, right?).

I love you during our road trips when we listen to the same five songs the whole time and still sing them at the top of our lungs.

Mom, you’re one of the strongest people I know. With everything you’ve gone through, you’ve still been able to be strong for yourself, as well as be my rock. You push me to be my best, even when I’m lazy (which is all the time). You’ve taught me to be an independent person, which I’ll be eternally grateful for.

Thank you for always being there for me through the good and the bad times. Thank you for supporting me through college decisions and being just as excited as I was when I picked my school, though I know you’re upset you can’t come with me (Go Blue Hens!). I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me, and I hope you know how much I appreciate it.

I am so blessed to have such a close relationship with you and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Happy Mother’s Day Mom, I love you and I wish I could give you the world.

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.
