I'm 23, My Mom Is My Best Friend, And I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way

I know that my mom will always have my back, just like I'll always have my daughters.

As a 23-year-old mom to a 2-year-old, one thing that has been apparent is how strong my friendship with my own mom is. Throughout the years, we've had our fuss and fights, but now I don't know what I would do without her.

Anytime I need any advice, she is a phone call away, and her calls can always make me feel better no matter what. She answers no matter what, even if it's just to hear about some silly thing I just did that I thought was funny.

The reason she's one of my best friends is that she is always there for me, no matter what. She never judges me, no matter what I do or what I say. She holds all my secrets, good or bad, and I know that she will keep whatever I tell her to herself. She's taught me so many lessons, whether it be how to not let others opinions of me get to me or that everything will work out, in the end, no matter what. And she's there to dry my tears and pick me up whenever I fall.

When my phone rings, I know it's probably her. We FaceTime almost daily, and it's weird when I go for a day and don't talk to her. We joke constantly with each other and are always laughing. Our weird relationship is so unique compared to others, and I would never want to change a thing about it.

Friendships don't always work out with other people, but the one I have with my mom is forever. And I know that she will always have my back, just like I'll always have my daughter's.

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.
