Thank You Mom, For Being The Best
Taylor Caponigro

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray.

I love you, mommy, here's a thank you for always being the sunshine in my life. I couldn't imagine how dark my world would be without you in it.

Dear Mom,

I so often took your kind words for granted. Your inspiration and wisdom is profound. Sometimes on simple nights like tonight, I lay in bed thinking of all the advice you have given me. How did I get so lucky with a mom like you? You are the first person I reach for the phone to call when something goes wrong or in other terms just not my way, which as you know is hard for me to cope with. You are the only one I want to tell about all my failures because you make them feel like successes. Because of you I worry less, thank you for that. You are the first shoulder I want to cry on because I know you will never grow weary of my heavy head. Your heart is so big and so filled with love to share, thank you for sharing it with me. I never go a day without feeling adored by you. You are the first person I want to share the good news with because you are my biggest cheerleader in this competition we call life.

Mom, you are so much more than a hug on a bad day or a life lesson when I need it the most. You are so much more than texts and phone calls to let you know how much I care about you and need you. You are a saint sent to guide, support and love me and you do it unconditionally. Your love knows no limits. Whether I am a bedroom away or many many miles, I am certain of one thing and that is you will always be my go-to gal. So many people come and go, thanks for staying. Thank you for answering my phone calls even if it's just my weekly debate about which new dress to buy. You sure do always pick my favorite without even knowing it. Thank you for making me feel better about my bad grade on a test or homework assignment. You never make me feel like any less of myself. A life with you knows no bad days. I know at times I fall short of the person you want me to be and I may not always be perfect, but one day I hope I can be as great as you. But most importantly, mom, if I haven't said it enough, thank you for making me happy when skies are gray. You really will never know dear how much I love you. Please never take my sunshine away.

Love always,

Your baby girl

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
