Dear Mom and Dad... thank you.

Two words I do not tell you enough that you deserve to hear everyday.

Thank you for everything you have done for me even when I didn't deserve it.

Thank you for loveing me no matter what even when I went through my, "I hate my parents," preteen phase.

Thank you for teaching me that everything in life is not handed to you, for teaching me the value of hard work and determination.

Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on even when I didn't want to talk you were always there to listen.

Thank you for letting me make mistakes, for letting me learn things on my own but always being there for when I needed help.

Thank you for always supporting me in everything I do even when it means you have to make sacrifices.

Thank you for always being patient with me even when you were on your last straw with me.

Thank you for giving me an amazing sibling and for not killing us even though we would fight all the time.

Thank you for teaching me to be confident and kind even when I didn't want to be, for showing me how to show love and affection to people even when they didn't deserve it. Thank you for showing me that same love and affection even when I definitely did not deserve it.

Thank you for all the unforgettable memories, for laughing with me and sometimes at me, for teaching me that it is ok to laugh at yourself and when it is ok to laugh at others but that it is always ok to laugh at family.

Thank you for accepting my weirdness, considering I got it from you.

Thank you for embaressing me in public and for giving me ideas on how to embarrass my future kids in public.

Thank you for teaching me how to ride a bike and swim in the deep end of the pool.

Thank you for giving me continuious support in everything I do even when I fail, for teahcing me that it is ok to fail and that you should keep trying.

If it wasn't for you I would not be the strong, confident and loving person I am today. You have taught me so much about life, love, happieness and so much more. There are no word for how much I apprciate you and your love for me. I love you mom and dad. And thank 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.

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.
