Thank You, Marco Rubio

We're special because dreams that are impossible anywhere else, come true here. That's not just my story. That's your story. That's our story. -Marco Rubio

Thank You, Marco Rubio

If you have been paying any attention to the primaries, you will know that Marco Rubio dropped out of the race for Republican nominee. If you have been paying attention to my twitter or Facebook, you would know that he was my first choice. You would also know that I was devastated when Trump won the 99 Florida delegates and Rubio dropped out of the race.

Dear Marco Rubio,

Thank you for everything you have done. You would have made a great president, and anyone who says otherwise is foolish. I do not regret making calls on behalf of your campaign or arguing with "Trumpkins" about how you were clearly the better choice. These "Trumpkins" just don't seem to understand what is going on, and I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that America could not see what a great leader you could be for this country. I'm sorry that America was not ready for a new American century. I'm sorry that everyone seems to be too full of hate and rage to care about actual policies. I'm sorry we have an entertainer as the front runner who acts like a teenager.

Thank you for giving someone in a younger generation hope that one day we will have a great leader. You are so optimistic about the country that it is truly inspiring. You actually knew what you were talking about in the debates and were very prepared. (Other than the repetitive thing, thanks Chris Christie for being a suicide bomber of a presidential candidate.)

Thank you for calling Trump out on his bulls*t. Thank you for bringing up Trump University, immigrant workers and his tiny hands. Thank you for not letting Trump push you around. Thank you for being real. Your campaign also started the #NeverTrump hashtag, thank you. Yes, I am bitter about Trump and how people seem to flock to him no matter what happens. People aren't looking for answers, they are looking for the loudest voice.

Thank you for telling your story of your working class family and your student loans. I believe the American dream is still real, and I want to believe it will be when I settle down and have children. It's amazing that someone from an average family can run for President.

Thank you for the campaign you ran. I know you're going to be out of the public eye for a little while, and I'll miss your optimism.

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.
