Thank You To My Soccer Dad
bmysl

Soccer is a sport loved by people world wide. Soccer brings people together, just like it brought my dad and I closer! My Dad and I share a special bond over soccer that I would not trade for anything! There are several things that I could thank him for, however here are just a few of the many...

Thank you for putting me in AYSO and starting this whole journey!

Thank you for all of the seasons that you and mom had to pack after game goodie bags…. those were the best.

Thank you for buying me my first soccer bag, I may have been a tiny 7 year old but I felt like Alex Morgan.

Thank you for never missing a game or practice.

Thank you for pushing me to the next level by encouraging me to tryout for travel.

Thank you for stepping up and coaching when necessary.

Thank you for driving me all across the state and to out of state tournaments.

Thank you for dealing with my smelly, sweaty self on the long car rides home.

Thank you for buying me all of the coolest cleats.

Thank you for pushing me no matter how frustrated I got with you.

Thank you for practicing in the backyard with me, and for taking me to the field to shoot around.

Thank you for making me strive to be the best player I could be.

Thank you for all the urgent care trips that you had to take…

Thank you for pushing me so hard that I was able to play varsity soccer all four years of high school.

Thank you for helping me to accomplish all of my soccer goals.

Thank you for being the loudest and proudest soccer dad around…. even if that did mean constantly yelling at the refs….

Thank you for all of the money you put into my soccer career.

Thank you for all of the good luck messages.

Thank you for always pushing me, no matter how hard I fought you about it…

Thank you for giving me a passion that I will have for a lifetime!

But most importantly, thank you for being the best soccer dad you could be. Without you I wouldn’t be who I am today! I will forever be thankful for the bond that we share over soccer. I will always cherish all of the memories we have that developed because of soccer, and all of the future memories to come. I love you so much!

Thank you again, Dad!

Love,

Daddy’s little soccer princess

Happy Father's Day 2016, Dad! I love you!

xoxo, Nicole

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.
