Thank You To The Boy Who Gives Me The World
Shannon Durfee

You bring me up when I'm down. You make me laugh when I cry. You turn my bad days into good days. You do anything I ask you to. You give me the world and more, and I can't thank you enough for that. You truly have devoted yourself to me, and it's about time that I find the words to show you how much you mean to me.

1. Thank you for loving me when I don't love myself.

Whether I had a bad day, or I failed at something that meant a lot to me, you've always been there to hold me together. Without you, I'd fall apart.

2. Thank you for dropping everything to make me happy.

You've spent endless weekends with me instead of your friends just because I miss you. I know you could say no to plans with me if you wanted to but you never do.

3. Thank you for dealing with my appetite.

There are days when I crave five different things and you manage to go out of your way to get them all. On the other hand, you finish my food for me when I'm not hungry, even when you're filled beyond capacity because I don't want to waste it.

4. Thank you for watching what I want to watch.

You've watched HGTV with me endlessly while I tell you what I want in my dream house. Instead of smiling and nodding, you get into the future planning too. And of course, you've watched Tangled enough times to memorize it, even though you'd rather watch an action movie.

5. Thank you for motivating me to succeed.

When I want to give up on anything, you're always there to push me another step forward. From studying flashcards with me on FaceTime to visiting me during a long shift at work, you have always pushed me to keep moving forward.

6. Thank you for laughing with me and at me.

You laugh at my stupid jokes and puns, even when they're not remotely funny. No one else does this and even though you're not obliged to, you still laugh. Thank you for making me feel like a comedian (and not throwing tomatoes at me).

7. Lastly, Thank you for loving me unconditionally.

You love me on my good days and my bad days. You tell me I'm beautiful when I know for a fact that I look like I got hit by a truck. You take care of me when I'm sick. You like my ugly Snapchats (but I'm not thanking you for screen-shotting them). You deal with my mood swings. And most importantly, you give me the world.

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.
