A Love Letter To My Body
Emilee Nulsen

Thank you.

Thank you for sticking with me even when I put you through hell.Thank you for always telling my heart what it needs when my mind isn't sure. And thank you for being absolutely perfect at any size.

And I'm sorry.

I am sorry for saying such horrible things about you that I would never even say about my worst enemy. I'm sorry for depriving you of what you needed. I'm sorry for putting you through so much.

You have carried me through this life without faltering or failing. You have grown strong and shown me that your size doesn't matter as long as you feel good mentally and physically.

You have carried me through the highest highs and the lowest lows. You have endured everything life has thrown at you. You have loved me and made me more confident than I could have ever imagined.

No matter where I am in life, I know you will be there, like you always have, pushing me to move forward and continue to progress.

I know some days I hate you for no reason, but I promise to start putting you first. I promise to love you even on my worst days. And I promise to see you as you are, not through the distorted lens of my mind.

Thank you for being patient on this journey of self love. Thank you for forgiving my evil thoughts. Thank you for continuing to push through life with me. Thank you for doing your part in making me who I am and who I have always needed to be.

You have taken me up mountains. Slowly but surely, we got there together. And I will continue to nourish and support you as we continue this life together. I can't wait to see what incredible things we can accomplish.

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.
