Dear mom,

The week is finally here, the week of your wedding. And as I start packing to come home for this event, I have had many thoughts running through my head. You see, it's not everyday that you get to attend your mother's wedding, especially as an almost 20 year old. So, as the day arrives very quickly, there are a few things that I want to say to you.

I first want to say that I am extremely happy that you are finally happy. We both know that it took a lot of time and a lot of heart break to finally get to this point. And there is nothing that I want more in my life than to see you be genuinely happy. You have spent your entire life ensuring that I always had everything I needed and wanted so that I could be happy, and now, it's your turn.

I find that I have many hopes for you on this day. I hope that this day is everything you have imagined it to be. I don't know if you have ever dreamed about what your wedding day would be like, but now that it is finally here, I hope it looks just like those dreams because everyone deserves for their dreams to come true, especially these dreams. I also hope that at the end of the day, you feel with content with your decision. I hope that this will be your forever and that you will never have to feel as though you are alone.

For years you put your own happiness on the back burner so you could be the best mother you could be, but I want you to know now that it is okay to put yourself first now. I am not the same little girl I used to be and now it is your time to get everything that you have ever dreamed of. It is your turn to have an immense amount of happiness in your life, a different kind of happiness. A happy that can never be taken away from you because it is the happiest you have ever been in your life.

So, as this day approaches very quickly, know that I am thrilled to be a part of your day. I am looking forward to seeing the smile that will be on your face for that whole day and for the rest of your life. Congratulations, enjoy your special day, and know that I love you.

Sincerely,

Your daughter and Maid of Honor

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.
