A Thank You Letter To My Favorite Person
Facebook

Everyone has “their” person in life. The one you always think about, who always puts a smile on your face, who you admire wholeheartedly. That person for me is my grandma.

Since she is amazing, I wanted to thank her for all she has done for me in my 18 years of life.

Thank you for building forts with me when mom was busy with work. Thank you for having races with me up the stairs. I know you let me win.

Thank you for all the laughter. When I think of you I always imagine you laughing, because it’s pretty much all you do. From playing cards to watching movies, you made it hilarious. Thank you for the car rides to Disney World, where you would sing and make hand puppets with me.

Thank you for telling me I’m beautiful. Even though I don’t always believe you, it’s nice to hear and needed. Thank you for caring about me when I felt like no one did. I can always count on your love.

Thank you for going on walks with me around the golf course. It was our time to talk, just the two of us, and it meant the world to me. Thank you for collecting shells with me and saving all of them; and saving all the stuff I bought at Disney World.

Thank you for supporting me. I’ve always had big dreams, and you always listened to each one. No matter if I wanted to be a singer, designer or journalist, you always believed in me.

Thank you for being honest and telling me when I’m being dramatic. We all need to hear that once in a while. Thank you for using emojis when we text; it just makes me really happy!

Thank you for showing me what real love looks like. You and Poppa are the main reason I believe in love. I want a marriage that will last as long and still be filled with so much love for the other person.

Thank you for being brave. I know you’re in a lot of pain right now and I would do anything to take away. Thank you for not complaining and being grateful for every second you’re here. If you didn’t have so much courage, I wouldn’t. Thank you for teaching me to be kind and grateful in every step of my life.

Thank you for being my favorite person in the world. I couldn’t imagine anyone being more important than you.

I love you,

Your grateful granddaughter

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.
