A Personal Letter To My Mom
Ally Fields

I was looking back in my notes on my phone and I found the following letter. I wanted to share it with ya'll so there's physical proof that I care and love my mom - who is the coolest. Yeah, I'm talking about you, Kristin. You rock.

Dear Mom,

The time is currently 12:00AM on June 2, 2016. I have college orientation today, John broke up with me last night, and yet all I can think about is how much I love you. I'm recalling a memory from New G Tour 2015. I was giving a green room somewhere in Texas, maybe. Matt Paden asked me a question right before. He asked me, "How are you able to give so much energy into your Shout My Praise performance?" I honestly had no idea how to answer his question. I responded with, "I don't know." He was not pleased by this answer. "No, seriously!" he said. And I stood there and thought for a moment. We were maybe on Day 11 or 12 of tour. I remembered that I missed you. So I told him, "I pretend that my mom is sitting in the audience... she's my number one fan."

Mother, you support me so much. Since the day I was born to celebrating my high school graduation, I know that you have always cared so much about me - more than I will probably ever be able to comprehend. And I really just can not express how grateful I am for you. I love you so much, Mom. I love you so so very much and I appreciate all that you are able to do for me and how much you have given up for me. Thank you so much for never giving up on me. You're the best mom I could ever asked for.

And out of all the moms in the world whose vagina I could have came out of, I am so lucky and blessed that it was yours. :-)

I love you,

Ally

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.
