Dear Mother,

I know we have had (and always will) have our ups and downs. From being a teenager trying to break free to becoming an adult that is in college, I have a lot to thank you for. When I was younger I was attached to you at the hip and did not want to leave you. Then when I was a teenager all I wanted to do was get away and be free. Now being an adult I can see why you did what you did and am completely grateful for all that you have done for me. Being an adult I'm also extremely sorry for how I acted as a teenager, I know it wasn't always fun and when I was younger I told you I wouldn't be a rotten teenager. I know I don't say it enough but I love you. You have mad sacrifices for me, whether they are big or small, they are beyond appreciated. With those sacrifices comes many things that I need to thank you for.

Thank you for giving me advice when I was crying my eyes out about some stupid topic that doesn't matter today. Thank you for always supporting me no matter what I do, and being there if it doesn't work out. Thank you for coming to my Kindergarden class when I didn't cry for you to come. Thank you for being honest, and blunt with me, sometimes its needed in life. Thank you for teaching me about Jesus and what amazing things He has done for us. Thank you for teaching me how to take care of babies and some speical techniques to help put them to sleep. Thank you for showing me how to be a good wife. Thank you for showing me how to love, and care for others. Thank you for being a great example of what God wants us to do as His disciples. Thank you for being the best mother a 21 year old girl could ask for. You are the best role model that I could have asked for. You are everything that I hope to become when I become a mother.

Some days we butt heads and other days we get along like best friends, but thats how it is. I know that you will always be here for me, and knowing that makes life not so scary. You have helped me see the world in different perspectives. I know I owe you more than a thank you for everything you have done for me, but for now all I can afford (being a poor college student) is a big, fat, juicy THANK YOUR FOR BEING THE BEST MOTHER IN THE HISTORY OF MOTHERS!

Sincerely,

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.
