Mom, Thank You
Brittany Casey

Dear Mom,

I know I don't say these things often enough, but I truly do mean them. You are my best friend, my rock. Everything I do, I do it for you because of everything you've done for me my entire life.

Thank you for being my shoulder to lean on when I'm down. You always know how to make me feel better when I'm at my lowest points. You make the stars shine on a dark night and the sunshine on a cloudy day. No matter what I do you always have my back. You pull me out of the holes I dig for myself as if I was never even in them. You make it look so easy and I know it's not.

Thank you for being my motivator in everything that I do. Everything I do, I do it for you. You give me motivation to do good every day. You support me with every decision I make and that in itself motivates me to do what I have to do. I'm a hardworking girl and it's all because of you.

Thank you for letting me make my own mistakes. I know you've always tried to lead me in the best direction but that doesn't mean I listened. By letting me make my own mistakes you let me teach myself a lesson, you let me learn right from wrong on my own. I became a better person, because of you.

Thank you for being my best friend. You let me tell you anything and everything and that made us so much closer. Knowing I could come to you with anything, any problem, any good and any bad, you would be there for me.

Thank you for doing the most for me. Honestly, I know people who their parents do nothing for them. I'm so lucky for all the things you do for me. I know you always do the most that you can for me even if it means not doing something for yourself. From buying me things to doing my laundry, what am I going to do when I live on my own?!

Thank you for keeping my secrets.

Thank you for making up your own song for me when I was a baby and singing it to me driving all the way to school.

Thank you for always putting my needs before your own.

Thank you for all the ways you let me know I am loved.

Thank you for teaching me to be independent and never rely on anyone else.

Thank you for pushing me through school even when I wanted to give up.

Most importantly, thank you for being you. If you were not the woman you are, I would not be who I am today. Thank you for everything you do for me, I love you so much momma.

Love Always,

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.
