Dear Mom: You're My Best Friend
Morgan Lee Silver

Dear Mom,

First of all, I just want to say how lucky I am to have a mom like you. I know at times you doubt yourself, but there is no need. You are the most selfless person I know and I am so thankful to be raised by a women like you. I know being a mom is hard, but you pull it off flawlessly, whether you're taking care of me while I'm sick or whether we're rocking out in the car to our favorite songs. Mom you are so much more than just my mom and I want you to know just how much you mean to me.

I want to thank you for pushing me to the limit. I know I am as stubborn as a mule, but honestly I get my stubbornness from you and you know that. Seriously though, I know the only reason I've gotten this far is because you've pushed me to do and be the best that I can be. You have stayed up so many late nights with me and, trust me, your hard work has not gone unnoticed.

Thank you for always being there for me. You always know what to say and how to make me feel better no matter what the situation is. Whether it's me and my friends having drama or that I got a bad grade on a math test, I know that I can always turn to you to help me in any situation. Thank you for being my #1 fan.

Thank you for letting me express my self in anyway I choose. You have never forced me do anything I didn't want to do or force me into wearing something I didn't want to wear. Thank you for always supporting my ways and what I want to do, even if I want to dye my hair bright pink you're still right beside me supporting me.

Lastly, I want to thank you for being my best friend. Whether I have good news or bad news you are the first person I call. We look alike too! Even though you don't think we do, most people think you are my sister. I also love hearing that I look and act just like you, that's the best compliment I could ever get. Thank you for showing me exactly the type of mother, friend and role model I want to be in life. I love you so very much and I hope you know that. Thank you again for everything you do for me!

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.
