Dear Mommy,

No words I say can describe the admiration that I have for you. You are my first love; your body -- my first home. I know being my mother isn’t an easy task. There have been times I’ve made you cry, times where I’ve made you mad, and times where you’ve wanted to give up.

Growing up, I couldn’t understand the depth of your love and why you did the things you would do. I do now.

Everything I do is for you. It’s time for you to relax and let me care for you the way you’ve cared for me for 22 years.

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you.

You are more than my mom, you’re the best friend I could ever ask for. You’re the first person I call whenever I’m happy, sad, or afraid. You are the person I come to whenever I need a good laugh. You are the sole person that I can count on to never mislead me.

Seeing you brightens every one of my days.

I hope one day that I can be as great a mother and friend to my children as you have been to me. That I can teach them all the great things about life that you have taught me. I pray that I will be as important to them as you are to me and that they will see how truly amazing you are by how I treat them.

Though I’m not a little girl anymore and will soon move away, nothing will ever change. Miles could never pull me away from you.

Thank you for everything you do for me and everything you will do in the future. You will always be my number one.

I promise to continue making you proud and making sure that you know how loved and cherished you truly are.

I love you forever,

Your Baby Girl

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.
