My Mother, My Rock

I just wanted to let you know...

My Mother, My Rock

She has been there since birth,

Watched me grow and change.

She has been there through thick and thin,

Watched me smile and cry.

This lady isn't superwoman,

But she seems like it to me.

And when I become a mother like her,

I hope I'm half the woman as she.

I don't tell you this enough, mom, but I love you. You have my whole heart and I wouldn't trade you for anything.

You are my most loyal companion. You are always on my team. No matter what. Even when you don't agree with my decisions, you support me. That is unconditional. Your love and support is unconditional and I'm more grateful for that than anything.

If you'd like to get technical, you legitimately are my day one. You have been around me more than anyone else and know all of my ins and outs. The funny thing is, you know my true self and still love me. That's more than I can say about most people.

You are capable of an undeniable amount of respect, gratuity, compassion, empathy, and above all else, love. When I'm sad, you feel for me. When I'm happy, you are happy for me. When I am confused, you try and help me figure it out. I don't know where I'd be without your countless years of advice giving.

I've gotten through the best of times and the worst of times all with you by my side. College decisions, heartbreaks, crossroads, friendship problems, prom dresses, even nail polish color. No problem too big, no problem too small. You would drop everything for me in a heartbeat.

I'm not saying you're perfect because there is no such thing, but you are pretty close. And I'm not saying our relationship is perfect and smooth sailing because we have our share of fights. And let's be real, you get on my back and I annoy the crap out of you a good percentage of the time but I wouldn't give up any of that because I appreciate what we have. It's a bond unbreakable by anything. A bond that only a mother and daughter could share.

So, I know I don't tell you this enough, mom, and I don't really know how to express my feelings well so... I just wanted to say I love you and thank you for everything you do for myself and our family. You are my rock.

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.
