An Open Letter To My Mom This Mother's Day

Mama,

A thank you in words will never be enough to express how lucky and blessed I am to have you in my life. Your strength is inspiring, your kindness is contagious and your love is never ending. The lessons I have learned from you will stay with me for life and while I'm off at college learning some of life's lessons on my own I feel your support even miles away. This year has been a rollercoaster ride, but through it all your strength never fell. Sometimes I really don't know how you do it. It seems like your plate is constantly full but no matter the situation you never lose hope, and you never let me lose hope either. One day I aspire to be the strong woman you are, but quite honestly I don't know if that's even possible.I will forever be grateful for the sacrifices and decisions you made to better the lives for us. I hope one day to live a life that will do justice to all the sacrifices you made. So, this Mother's Day here's a few "thank yous" that were left unspoken.

Thank you for being my best friend.

Thank you for putting me and my brothers before everything else.

Thank you for being our strength through the hardest of times.

Thank you for the sacrifices you made to give us the best life you could.

Thank you for teaching me how to embrace the imperfections.

Thank you for teaching me to never give up.

Thank you for being there when the stresses of life made me feel so alone.

Thank you for teaching me how to have courage in the toughest situations.

Thank you for all the advice throughout the years.

Thank you for being whatever role you needed to be in the time being.

Thank you for always making sure my heart were as full as my stomach.

Thank you for the everlasting support.

Thank you for making me feel important.

Thank you for being there through it all.

Thank you for pushing me to be successful in all that I did.

Thank you for being such an amazing role model.

Thank you for teaching me the importance of family.

Thank you for teaching me the meaning of love.

Thank you for being my role model.

Thank you for taking a bad situation and turning it into a learning experience.

Thank you for being a constant in my life.

Thank you the endless amount of much needed hugs and kisses.

Thank you for filling my life with so much love and support.

Thank you for all the crazy adventures that turned into the best memories.

Thank you for letting me make my own mistakes and being there to help me back up.

Thank you for so much more but most of all,

Thank you for being my sunshine when skies are grey.

I love you forever, mama. Happy Mothers Day!

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.
