First My Mom, But Always My Best Friend

Whoever said your mom couldn't be your best friend clearly hasn't met mine. My mom is more than an amazing mother, but she is also the ideal friend. She's my best friend.

First My Mom, But Always My Best Friend
Taylor Caponigro

Growing up my mom was always my mom and an awesome one at that. My mom has the biggest heart and is always going the extra ten miles to make me happy. Of course, she did reprimand me when I was wrong and she lectured me to make it right, as any mom would. But now that I am older, I realize my mom is way more than the "superhero mom" label I give her on Mother's Day.

She is also my best friend every day.

Sometimes I even wish we could have gone through life aging together because she's the perfect person I would have wanted by my side. I hope she thinks so too.

Mom, you're one in a million, a billion and every great amount after that. You know every ache before it hurts. You know ever tear before it's shed and you know every smile before it's made.

The relationship I have with my mom is so special to me. She's the first person I call in life when something goes wrong, or on the good days, when something goes right. She's my number one supporter in all the decisions I make and my biggest cheerleader through my successes. But even on the days when I am the worst version of myself and even on the days my failures strike a little too hard, she is always there to build me back up making me stronger than ever.

It doesn't matter the situation she's always willing to be a mom and a friend. I don't deserve the kind of love my mom gives me. It's an overwhelming sense of comfort that makes each day away from her that much harder to live. No matter what road I travel in life or how many miles lie between us, there is no one in this world that could ever replace her.

Mom, thank you for being the best mom.

The one I get to brag to my kids to someday and thank you for being my best friend and knowing me much better than I know myself. Whoever said your mom can't be your best friend too just didn't have it as good as us and I love us.

I love you, your wisdom, your words, your compassion and the way you love me. You're my number one and I can't wait to continue to have you as my best friend through this crazy life. Thank you for being you!

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.
