A Letter to My Super-Mom
Peter Liavas

Dear Mom,

I have no idea where to begin, but I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for doing everything that you do. It is amazing to see how strong, caring and loving someone can be. If a Super-Mom existed then it would definitely be you. Thank you for sitting through all my hockey practices and traveling to all my games. Thank you for wiping the tears off my face every time I fell outside and scraped my knee. Thank you for teaching me how to appreciate all I have in life. Thank you for showing me the value of a dollar and for making me work hard for the things I want in life. Thank you for teaching me how to stop on both sides of my feet on the ice. Thank you for being the cool mom who jams out to the latest hits on the radio. Thank you for allowing me to learn from my mistakes and for teaching me not to repeat them. Thank you for making my lunches in the morning. Thank you for showing me my love for '80s music. Thank you for the pale white skin that gets burnt easily. Thank you for driving everyone around after school, even though you were tired from a long day at work.

The list goes on and on. You have done so much for me in my life, and I hope one day I am able to thank you for that. I have no idea how you do everything that you do. You are courageous, smart, welcoming and understanding. I know I was not the easiest kid to deal with when I was younger, but I am thankful that you did not give up in me. You have taught me a lot of things that have made life easier while being away at school. It is hard being away from the family, but I am glad I get to bother you on the phone while you are at work. I know one day it will all be worth it. Thank you for allowing me to be your son.

Love always,

Your firstborn troublemaking son, Peter

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.
