A Letter To Heaven

"Their passing is something I will never get over, instead just something I have learned to get used to."

A Letter To Heaven
Madison Zammarelli

Although it is hard to find the words to say, I am writing this letter to ask you to please let my loved ones know that I am doing okay. Ever since they traveled up to you, life hasn’t been the same. I have been without that special person in my life who was there to watch me grow. They were there through every milestone, every birthday, and every surprise up until they had to go. They were one of my first loves, my best friends, and my family. Their passing is something I will never get over, instead just something I have learned to get used to. Even though you know how much I miss them, that is not why I am writing you today.

I ask you to thank them for not only their life and everything they did while here, but everything they have done and continue to do while with you, Heaven. Thank them for mending my heart when it is broken. Thank them for keeping me strong when I feel like breaking. Thank them for pushing me to be the best person I can be every day, for leading me down the right path, and for holding my head up high when I need it. Thank them for keeping my soul happy and my heart bright and full of love. Thank them for giving me what I deserve instead of what I thought I wanted. Most importantly thank them for always staying with me, for I feel their presence every day.

Now I ask you, Heaven, to take good care of those I have lost. Their hearts are full of gold and their souls are everlasting. They deserve endless love and happiness. Although I am not able to be with them right now and take care of them, I know you can until we meet again one day. Thank you for the life and all its blessing and challenges you have given me, they have only made me a stronger and better person.

Sincerely,

Someone who misses them

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.
