A Letter To My Mom

Dear Mom,

I am so lucky to have you as my mom. I never imagined a day where I would not come home to you or my little sister. I never imagined I would not be able to tell you how my day was every single day. I never imagined a day where we did not bicker over the little things. But I have to say, it is awfully weird not having these things happen every day.

You have been nothing but great to me for the past 18 years of my life. I know that you feel like I am leaving you and that I am going to outgrow you, but that will never happen. You have been my best friend since before I was born. You have been my tour guide to life and you always will put a smile on my face. You watched me go through my bad times in high school and you did nothing but had my back.

I'll apologize right now because I know that for the past two months I have only been home three times and I am not able to answer your phone calls or text messages all the time. I can promise you that I am busy and that I am not avoiding a million questions that I will eventually get annoyed at. I miss talking to you every day.

I know that there have been so many times when you thought that you failed at being a mother, and I am here to reassure you that were nothing but an amazing mom to me. Every day I become a little more like you and I could not be any prouder.

I know that you had me at a young age and you are so scared that I might do the same thing, but I was raised in a way that I know that I need to get my life started before I bring anyone else into this world, and you taught me that. In a way I was lucky, I got to watch you grow up while I was growing up, and I think that has shaped me into who I am today.

You raised me to never take the first swing but take the last. You raised me to never disrespect someone that is older than you. You raised me to watch who I let into my life because not everyone's intentions are truly what they say they are. You raised me to always have my door open for my friends in case they need me. But most importantly, you raised me to be a lady and to never let anyone walk all over me.

I promise that I am still your little girl, and we might fight, but I still love you with my whole heart.

Thank you for being my best friend, for raising me the right way, for being an amazing mother. I could not ask for anyone better.

Love,

Your Daughter

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.
