Dear Mom,

As a young woman just starting your life out, getting married and having kids, you never imagined you would have to do it alone. You would always have your partner in crime, your other half, and your soulmate by your side forever, but sometimes fate does not always work out that way when tragedy strikes and you find yourself having to raise your children without their father. I cannot imagine what it felt like to be in your shoes at this moment or ever. Your strength shown then and throughout this struggle amazes me everyday and I thank you for never giving up even when times got hard. I am so proud of you. This is a thank you letter to you Mom, to tell you how much I appreciate you and all your hard work.

Thank you for always being there for me no matter what happened. I knew growing up and even know now that no matter how much trouble I got myself into, you would always be there to help me through it. Thank you for being my biggest cheerleader. No matter what goal I am trying to achieve you are always right there supporting me every step of the way. Mom, you have always supported me and always continue to. Even when my dreams seem a little out of reach you are always the first person to tell me I can make my dreams a reality, and never give up on them when I wanted to give up on them myself.

Thank you for being mom and dad. Playing both roles probably isn't very easy when you want to be caring and compassionate, but had to be the disciplinarian first. When boy problems arose and my dad wasn't there to scare them away, you took on that role, along with being a shoulder to cry on when I got hurt by them. Mom, you were constantly there for me in whatever way I needed you to be. There wasn't a moment that went by that I didn't think you were doing a great job being mom and dad. You truly are an amazing woman and I truly am lucky to learn from you everyday.

Mom, most importantly, thank you for being the strongest woman I know. Not a day goes by that I don't wish to have half the strength you have day in and day out. You truly are the most amazing person I know and I am so honored to learn from you everyday. Thank you for making my dreams your dreams and I will forever be thankful for you. Thank you mom for being you. I love you to the moon and back.

Love always, Your Daughter

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.
