I Love You, Mom

You are my best friend, and will always be my first best friend.

I Love You, Mom
Alfonzo

Dear Mom,

I hope you know how much I love and care about you. I may not tell you this all the time but I do, I truly do.

I know how hard you work and how much effort you put into making money to provide for me, more than for you. I know that you will always love me. I couldn’t imagine life without you.

You care about my safety more than your own.

You’re one of my best friends.

I know that no matter what I can share how or what I feel and why. You tell me how ugly clothes are on me, or how beautiful I look in other ones. I can count on you for anything. I can tell you gossip or secrets just because I so desperately need to share them with you.

You lecture me on looking for a better life, a life that is worth living worth. You remind me every day that going to college is for me, but honestly, it's for you so that our name can be something in the future and I am okay with that.

You’re my rock.

A shoulder to cry on, a familiar face and loving arms are everything I need in a time of sadness. I already know that I can share my feelings about anything to you, but just know that you are my constant support system. Someone to always be there for me when the worst things happen.

I always have good news to share and you are always happy for me in these situations. I know that no matter what I decide to do with my life you will 100% back me in my decisions.

You know me better than I know the back of my hand.

You know that I love turtles and Disney character Pluto. You know that if I had to choose, everything would be blue. You know that if I had to wear the color yellow I might punch myself in the face first. You also know how much I care about doing good in school.

I know that sometimes we butt heads, sometimes we disagree, and sometimes it feels like an uphill battle, but no matter what you are and will always be my best friend and the best mom in the world. My life would not be the same if you weren’t in it.

I will always tell you that I miss you, thank you, be careful and that I love you because that's all a mother needs. A mother like you deserves it even more.

I love you mom, with everything I have.

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.
