Today is 2/24 and today we remember. Today we remember Kobe and Gianna Bryant. Today we remember the two beautiful souls that were taken from us far too early.

Today we remember the basketball player Kobe was. We remember the games, the shots, the mamba mentality, the legacy, but we also remember who he was outside of basketball. We remember him as a father. We remember him as an unselfish human being that wanted to make the world around him better. Today we remember what he stood for and everything he has taught us in his short 41 years on this earth.

Today we remember Gianna. We remember the basketball player she was and we dream about the basketball player she was destined to be. We remember that she was just a kid with her whole life ahead of her. We remember how we never even got to know her, but yet we know she was incredible.

Today we remember both of them sitting court-side. We remember Kobe teaching Gianna his ways and somehow we find comfort in the fact that they left this world together because God knew they couldn't do this world without each other.

Today is just another reminder to not take a second on this earth for granted. Even the people that seem invincible aren't. Kobe and Gianna left us with one final memory and that is to treat each day like it's your last. Tell the people you love that you love them. Take risks. Follow your dreams because it can all be taken away from you in the blink of an eye.

We will never be able to forget Kobe and Gianna and we will never be able to forget all that they taught us. So today we remember. For the rest of our lives, we will remember 2/24.

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.
