To My Support System,

Over the past few years, I have been dealing with many changes and challenges. I have endured some of my worst days, and survived to experience the best moments of my life. I have learned how to overcome adversity and that darkness does not last forever. Throughout all of my hardships, I know that my support system is one of the reasons that I stayed strong for so long. My family and friends stuck by my side through the darkest moments of my life, and I could never be more grateful.

Thank you for listening to me when I have a rough day and need to vent. Talking out my problems is a huge coping skill that I rely on. Sometimes, I really just need someone to listen and (somewhat) understand what I am going through.

Thank you for your patience. I’m not always the easiest to deal with. I have my mood swings, and I can be very stubborn at times. Despite it all, you grant me your time and patience, and you help me work through it.

Thank you for lifting me up. With your love and support, I was able to do things like graduate high school, go to college, and earn great grades. Sometimes, I doubt myself, but you never stop believing in me.

Thank you for always caring. Thank you for checking in on me when I endure bad days. Thank you for caring and giving me an incentive to keep fighting. Knowing that someone cares helps me want to recover and keep moving forward. Thank you for wanting the best for me and always caring about my progress and success.

Thank you for never leaving my side. I wouldn’t be where I am today without each and every one of you. Thank you for sticking by my side, even through the tough times. I am forever grateful to have such an amazing support system.

Sincerely,

Me

AI music threatens 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.
