Thank You To My Best Friend (Also Known As Mom)

I love you, mom.

Thank You To My Best Friend (Also Known As Mom)
Wordpress

Best friends are super important, and so are mothers. Luckily for me, I have both rolled into one. Some people say that a parent should not be their child's best friend, but I have to disagree. My mom is my best friend. She has never been afraid to reprimand or discipline me. A parent can still be a parent while being their child's best friend, and my mom is great at being both!

Thank you, mom, for being the best friend I have ever had. You have always been my biggest supporter, and I couldn't be more grateful. People come and go, but I know that you will be there for me as long as you are able. You always put me first, and I appreciate it more than you'll ever know. Ever since I was born, you have put up with me and loved me through all of the good and bad parts.

It is almost odd with how great you are at understanding me. I trust you, and I know that you trust me. You really are the best. I know I don't say it enough, but thank you. I love you to the moon and back. You've worked hard to make sure I never went without. You inspire to me to always be better and do better. You taught me the importance of standing up for others and loving unconditionally.

Your advice is and always will be the most trusted. I've found that mothers tend to know best. I always enjoy having long conversations with you because I'm pretty sure I inherited your personality. No one understands me like you do. You encourage me and push me to be better than I thought I could be. Thank you for always valuing my thoughts and opinions and giving me respect. You are a role model I am glad to have. I hope one day to be as wonderful of a parent as you have been for me.

Not everyone is as lucky as I am to have a mom as amazing as you. You keep me grounded. No one can keep me calm quite like you can when I start stressing over everything. Even when I am feeling sad, you never fail to put a smile on my face. In my eyes, you are the best mom in the world. Everything you do is to make my life better, and I don't know how I could ever thank you enough for that.

Love,

Your child that thinks the world of you

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.
