A Thank You Letter To My Mom

Dear Mom,

I don’t think you realize how much of an impact you've made, not only on my life, but on everybody you know. You are outgoing, genuine and above all, caring. You always put others first and I know you would do anything in the world for someone you love. You have a heart of gold and truly deserve nothing but good things. You make me smile everyday and always make sure I know how much I'm loved. I don't want you to ever feel like you’re not appreciated because that is far from true. So, I want to let you know how much you mean to me and most of all, I want to say thank you.

Thank you for always being there for me, no questions asked. You are my go-to person no matter what.

Thank you for always making sure there is food in the house because I know times were tough when you were growing up.

Thank you for being the cool mom to my friends; they really appreciate it and so do I.

Thank you for spoiling me and saying "shh don't tell daddy."

Thank you for being my life coach these past couple of months and for always answering my 3 a.m. anxious texts.

Thank you for all the little things you do that most times go unnoticed.

Thank you for always being right, even when I don't want you to be...It’s weird how moms can do that.

Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to be an independent adult.

Thank you for cuddling me when being an adult becomes too hard.

Thank you for always being judgement free and letting me talk for hours about my life. You always know exactly what to say when things get rough; I don’t know how you do it.

Thank you for taking a million selfies with me … and then retaking them because the lighting was bad.

Thank you for making me feel proud to be your daughter.

I love you so much and I'm thankful for you each and every day! We've become closer these past couple of years and I can honestly say that I wouldn’t be where I am today without you. I am so appreciative for the unbelievable amount of love and support you have provided me with since day one. You are the kind of person I strive to be everyday and I can only hope that my kids look up to me the way that I look up to you. I am so blessed to have you.

Love Always,

Your Baby Girl

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.
