Dear Mom and Dad,

Thank you for giving me the best life I could have ever imagined. You both took me in and loved me as if I was your own. I can never thank you enough for all that you have done for me. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to take a child who is not your own and treat them as if they are. Every single day, I felt so loved by both of you. You both taught me right from wrong. I know that I have made some mistakes growing up, but you both let me make mistakes so that I could learn from them. You two were always my biggest fans. You supported me threw ballet, soccer, plays and talent shows. You two were always in the front row cheering me on. Because of you two, I never had to go without. I always had what I needed plus some. You two taught me that education is everything and so I need to find something that I am passionate about and make a career out of it.

Because of everything that you have taught me, I am now 21 years old and I am in my third year of college. I know that Daddy is gone now, but I know that he would be proud. I love you both more than words could ever describe. I know that I probably haven't been the easiest child, but you still loved me anyway. Even when I would make you mad, you never regretted adopting me. I still feel as loved as when I was little. I can't thank you both enough for supporting me as much as you have. I know that I still have a lot to learn, but I know that you will be there for me when I need you. You both are my life and I could not imagine my life without you. I'm sorry for all the things that I have done wrong, but I just want you to know that I'm glad that you two decided to adopt me. I couldn't ask for better parents and I love you both so much.

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.
