An Open Letter To My Stepdad

My Step-Dad taught me so many things, I don't know what I would do without him.

An Open Letter To My Stepdad
Jared

"A Step Parent is a truly amazing person. They made a choice to love another child as their own."

Dear Stepdad,

I want to first start off by saying thank you. Thank you for taking me in as your own child. When my mom decided to start dating again I was scared that I was going to get a person that wouldn't love me or my sister as their own child. I felt that we would be pushed to the side and you would not care for me or my little sister, but you were quite the opposite of a terrible step-parent. You made it known that yes I am not your real dad, but I am going to be the best step-dad that I can possibly be to you and your sister. You make my life very exciting and there is never a dull moment with you around. When you married my mom, I was terrified. I had heard such terrible thing about step-parents and you were far from it. I couldn't imagine not having you in my life. You treated me like your own child when you didn't have to. We take countless trips together and have made such amazing memories with one another. I love that you are so handy and when something needs to be done it gets done no matter what it is. Life can be a little crazy sometimes and I don't get to thank you for all of the amazing things that you have done in my life. You have had such an amazing impact on my life, and I just want to thank you so much. I love you.


Love,

Your Stepchild

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.
