A Thank You To Mom On Mother's Day

How do you thank the woman that nursed you back to health when you were sick, picked up the pieces when someone broke your heart, and supported you through your craziest adventures.

What do you say or do to thank the woman who gave you everything? Not only did she give me life, she gave me a life. How do you thank the woman that nursed you back to health when you were sick, picked up the pieces when someone broke your heart, and supported you through your craziest adventures. Words can not describe how grateful I am for my mom.

This woman rivals any comic book superhero I have ever seen. When is the last time you saw superman get two kids ready for school, get ready for work, and make breakfast and lunch all at the same time? You haven't. She showed up to all the sporting events she could even though she was exhausted from working. She sacrificed things she wanted for her self for the assurance that I would have everything I needed in my life. How can one woman do so many things and wear so many hats and still manage to remain sane? I will forever be impressed. How there hasn't been a mom comic book created yet I will never know. No powers, just a normal mom taking care of herself and her children. My mom supported me through every moment. She stood behind me thick and thin, through every phase (that I promised wasn't a phase, even though we all know it's a phase).Most importantly, when I decided I needed to leave home and move away for college, without hesitation, she supported me. The strength, love, and dedication this woman showed throughout my life was, and still is, extraordinary.

So, here's my thank you. Thank you for supporting me in everything. Thank you for working day in and day out to give my brother and I the best possible life. Thank you for teaching me to have fun and be silly without a care in the world. Thank you for all the times we sang and danced in the kitchen while baking, joked in the car on a long drive, and making me laugh until I cried.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have this experience with a mother, but for those who are, don't forget to thank your mother this mothers day. To my mom, I love you, thank you for everything, and I am so proud to call you mom. Happy Mother's Day everyone.

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.
