A Thank You Letter To My Mom

Dear Mom,

I may not show it often, but I appreciate everything you have done for me. Everyday I thank the Lord for giving me the blessing on calling you mom. We share many memories that I will hold and cherish forever. I know I probably wasn't the easiest to raise, but you never gave up and never stopped loving me. Know that you did an amazing job raising me. It's because of you, I am the person I am today, and words can't thank you enough for that.

Thank you for always answering my texts in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Thank you for always answering my phone calls, and for thinking of me. You have taught me many lessons in life that I will pass on. Whether it is valuable life lessons, or something as simple on teaching me to hand wash the dishes and not rely on a dishwasher. There was never a time you put yourself before me. You lent me your car, your clothes, your make up. You always made me lunches for school that made everyone jealous. Thank you for the many adventures into Manhattan watching countless Broadway shows. You never hesitated to drive me to school when I asked, or drive me to my friends house. I thank you for exposing me to our culture and for sending me on trips to visit the beautiful country you are from. There are many other things I can thank you for, but there isn't enough seconds in the day to tell you.

I can't imagine my life without you and am beyond thankful for the countless memories we have. The good and the bad. I have to learn from my mistakes and you have helped me do so. You work so hard just so I can have all the things I do and more. I look up to you and hope I can be half of the person that you are. You are my best friend and you have supported me in everything I do. You're the most strongest women and I know and I hope you know I will always be there for you. I love you to pieces and hope you're proud of me. Te quiero mucho.

Love,

Your daughter (su parcera)

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.
