To My Parents Who Taught Me The Most Important Thing In Life
fan pop

Mom and Dad,

I just wanted to start by thanking you, not only thanking you for everything you have sacrificed for me, supporting me and all of the other things parents are supposed to do for their children. Most importantly though, for doing what I’m sure you didn’t realize you’ve been doing all along, showing me how to love.

By loving each other you have showed me how to love myself. You have showed me that there is someone for everyone and it’s okay to not settle. You both have given me enough love to last me a lifetime and then some. I know it’s okay to want more for myself even if that means someone may love me a little less. You have also showed me that by loving myself, I can love someone just as great.

In a world full of cheating you showed me what it looks like to love someone unconditionally. After 24 years of marriage you have managed to live your lives like a Nicholas Sparks novel. Flirting, laughing and cuddling just like you first met. You have showed me that true love does exist and it takes hard work to keep that love.

By loving each other you have showed me what I want in a partner, in a friend, and for myself. You two have been my greatest inspiration in writing and in life. Although my big heart has gotten me in trouble often, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I want to thank you today and every day after. I want to thank you for being the sappy, loving person that I am. I want to thank you for teaching me that in a world full of hookups I can still look for my Prince Charming.

Thank you for loving each other,

Your greatest fan

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.
