To The beautiful human beings that have been lost to suicide or to those struggling with a mental illness, A long list of the things you won't get to see if you commit suicide.....

You won't get to see your siblings dress up for their high school prom, or your kids for theirs, or even your grandkids.

You won't get to see your beautiful hometown turn into an amazing community. One that can come together when need be. You will miss out on that amazing transformation over time.

You won't get to see the Alpin Glow on the mountain peaks ever again. You won't get to see your parents celebrate birthday millstones, or plan them fun parties that they don't want.

You won't get to see your nieces and nephews grow into these beautiful and successful human beings.

You won't get to see your college roommates or meet any of their funny family when you go home with them for a weekend.

You won't get to see the fish your dad caught at the lake last weekend or the elk your brother killed hunting last season.

You won't get to see yourself in the mirror on graduation day, wearing your school colors proud.

You won't get to see the old pool get turned in to an indoor field, or that old bare field turn in to an amazing new pool.

You won't get to see the grass turn brown and the snow flurries cover it a sparkling white.

You won't get to see it come alive again next spring when everything is reborn.

You won't get to see the smile on your husbands face when you walk down the aisle.

You won't get to see the tears in your moms face when you give birth to your first baby.

You won't get to see the excitement of your best friend when you ask her to be your Maid of Honor.

You won't get to see the pictures from your sisters honeymoon or the semester she studied abroad.

You won't get to see your neighbor beat cancer.

You won't get to see the wildflowers bloom in July or the leaves change colors in the fall.


There is so much you won't see, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Some of life's best days are still ahead of you. If you are gone, just know that you are so missed, there are so many of life's milestones I wish you were here to enjoy. If you are struggling, please know there are brighter days ahead. There is so much beauty left to be found.

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.
