20 Things You Forgot To Thank Your Mom For
David Wolfe

Mothers. They are the most wonderful person in this world. They have supported you since you can remember. They have sacrificed their happiness for yours and devoted just about every spare minute they had to keeping you happy. They are the only ones that can find anything you are missing in the blink of an eye. They love you unconditionally and always will. That being said, most of the time they do these things without a please or thank you. So because we don't thank them frequently enough (or at all), what better time to do so than on Mother's Day.

Mom...

1. Thank you for believing in me and my dreams when no one else did--including myself, sometimes.

2. Thank you for making me feel beautiful even when I didn't think I was.

3. Thank you for always protecting me and looking out for my best interest.

4. Thank you for being my biggest role-model, support and inspiration.

5. Thank you for your endless love, hugs and kisses.

6. Thank you for building a home with me in it.

7. Thank you for your honest advice and life hacks.

8. Thank you for letting me make mistakes.9. Thank you for teaching me how to learn from my mistakes.

10. Thank you for listening to me even when you didn't agree.

11. Thank you for cleaning up all my messes (even the ones that weren't just spills).

12. Thank you for waking me up for school every morning until I went to college.

13. Thank you for taking and picking me up from school, sports and play dates before I could drive (and even sometimes after that).

14. Thank you for washing my sheets so I could sleep in a clean bed and for washing my clothes so I wouldn't have to go a day without my favorite t-shirt.

15. Thank you for taking care of me every time I was sick because you were the only one that could make it better.

16. Thank you for the hours you spent on home-cooked meals and for keeping me fed.

17. Thank you for drying my tears even when they made you cry, too.

18. Thank you for holding my hand through the tough times and while crossing streets.

19. Thank you for letting me get away with things that dad wouldn't.

20. Thank you for being the best friend anyone could ask for.

This one's for you mom. Thank you for being the best mom anyone could ever ask for.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
