25 Things You Forgot To Thank Your Mom For
Abby Robertson

Celebrating moms should be a routine affair. We should celebrate our moms for more than just one day in May. It's easy to forget the little things they do for you, but it's important to remember the impact those little things have. So here's some recognition for moms (especially mine) and some appreciation for everything they do.

1. First and foremost, thank you for giving life to me. It wasn’t easy and it's debatable if it was worth it.

2. Thank you for cleaning up all things that came from me. You’re the real MVP.

3. Thank you for staying up with me until I fell asleep.

4. Thank you for setting up all those playdates and sleepovers, even though we were more of a headache than fun for you.

5. Thank you for dealing with all the tantrums I have had (sorry in advance for any more to come).

6. Thank you for being my chauffeur for the last 16 years of my life (sorry there was no tip).

7. Thank you for washing all of my things (no matter the state of the article).

8. Thank you for always having food to give me and everyone else (extra points for the good snacks).

9. Thank you for allowing me to make mistakes and learn from them.

10. Thank you for helping me with my homework (even when we both don’t know the answers).

11. Thank you for always listening to me vent (and having advice for everything).

12. Thank you for teaching me to be honest.

13. Thank you for knowing what is best for me (especially when I didn’t).

14. Thank you for telling me when I’ve done something wrong, but also praising me when I’ve done something right.

15. Thank you for drying all my tears. I knew I could always count on you.

16. Thank you for inspiring me to be strong.

17. Thank you for being the best role model.

18. Thank you for teaching me beauty comes from the mind and soul, not the mirror.

19. Thank you for all the sacrifices you have made (for everyone).

20. Thank you for never complaining. I know I don’t make it easy.

21. Thank you for putting me before yourself. That’s the greatest gift I’ve ever received.

22. Thank you for knowing me better than I know myself.

23. Thank you for challenging me (no matter the task).

24. Thank you for being a perfect example of grace and kindness.

25. Lastly, thank you for being my mom. I couldn’t imagine life without you.

Don't forget to thank your moms for ALL the things they do. It's a hard and under-appreciated job they have. Show your mom you love her just as much as she loves you.

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.
