An Open Letter To My Loved One Who Passed

Dear Dad,

Its been a while. A lot has changed since you've been gone and unfortunately the time has gone by so slow. It's like watching a clock and waiting for the time to change: it feels like a life time waiting for each minute to pass. I've grown a lot since you last saw me and I know that you're watching over me every second of everyday. Hopefully you're enjoying your time in heaven with no glasses, hearing aids, or a cane, just a place where you can finally be free. I hope you know mom and I think about you every day. Sending up prayers, looking at old pictures, reliving memories and wishing we had just one more day together. That's what I would love, and I think I can speak for your friends and family when I say that's what I wish we could all have. Just one more day.

I hope I am making you proud down here. I've graduated high school, moved onto college and I'm in the process of getting my degree. Playing sports, and getting involved in school activities has had the most positive impact on me though. After your passing, every dance recital, band concert, golf match and color guard performance has been for you. There's no other reason I would be doing what I do, had it not been for you pushing me to be the best I could be and to do what makes me happy. Thank you for always being there to cheer me on and most importantly for being my number one fan.

Your little sport,

Kate

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.
