An Open Letter To The One
Jesse Smith

To my world,

Thank you for always believing in me. This might sound overly cliche and mushy, but I mean it with sincerity.

Thank you for never giving up on me. Even when I gave up on myself.

Thank you for being the voice of reason, but also never letting me lose sight of the fun.

Thank you for giving me a goal. Because providing for you is all I've ever wanted.

Thank you for your spirit. An undying love for God is hard to find nowadays.

Thank you for a long engagement. To truly learn what the long haul meant.

Thank you for your travel bug. I need to see the world with you by my side.

Thank you for listening to my wide music taste. Because you know I secretly like that one Maroon 5 song (crap I said that out loud).

Thank you for the laughs. You know EXACTLY how to push my buttons.

Thank you for the tears. Life is full of ups and downs, it's nice to know you're with me.

Thank you for knowing how to fall sleep anywhere on Earth. I do mean anywhere.

Thank you for sleeping for any amount of time. I do mean any amount of time.

Thank you for dreaming. Because there's always a new step and a new adventure.

Thank you for that time you fell going to the Brad Paisley concert. Because it was hilarious.

Thank you for that time I fell down the inflatable slide. Because I know you pushed me.

Thank you for being my high school sweetheart. Because if you can love me then, loving me now is easy.

Thank you for your promise, my ring is a symbol every day.

Thank you for being my wife, now hurry up and get home I wanna go to Chick-fil-a.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.
