Dear Mom And Dad, I Will Never Be Able To Thank You Enough
Emily Yaritz

Dear Dad,

I'll start by saying thank you for your sacrifices. I can't even begin to comprehend all that you do for me behind closed doors. You never let me see the hardships you go through, but I know they are there and I want you to know that I have the greatest appreciation for it all. You are strong beyond words.

Thank you for being my biggest protector in every way possible but thank you for raising a strong, independent young woman. Thank you for teaching me the value of hard work. Thank you for giving me everything I ever needed but not giving me everything I ever wanted. Thank you for telling me no. Thank you for being hard on me. I am a better person because of it.

Thank you for always helping me out. You are always there for me. From the day I was born you were preparing me for my future in ways I couldn't understand. Thank you for always helping me practice for lacrosse and soccer. Thank you for helping me with my homework. Thank you for being there for the big moments and everything in between.

Dad, you are my greatest inspiration, I hope you know that.

Thank you for loving me more than any other man ever will.

Dear Mom,

Wow, where do I even begin? The sacrifices you made for me are unmatched. You gave up your dream so I could live mine. You have shown me what true love looks like.

Thank you for raising me right. Thank you for teaching me manners and making me into the person I am today. Thank you for teaching me morals and raising me to always do the right thing. Mom, people always tell me I have a huge heart and I want you to know that that is all because of you.

Thank you for being there to catch every single tear. Thank you for always making me feel better. Thank you for holding me together. Thank you for never letting me go through anything alone. Thank you for being someone I can always count on. Thank you for allowing me to feel comfortable talking to you about anything.

Thank you for teaching me my self-worth. Thank you for teaching me to never settle for anything less than I deserve. I am lucky to have grown up with such a strong woman as my role model.

Mom, I hope you know that everything I am is because of you.

Thank you for being my biggest fan. Your love is unrivaled.

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.
