To The Angel That Was Taken Too Soon
Jodi Mitchell

To the angel who was taken too soon,

My heart still skips a beat when the clock strikes five, and your old soccer numbers the first thing that comes to mind. A tear still tickles my cheek as the 26th of each month comes, and the months that you’ve been gone continue to count on. Your gravestone has become a monument for those who adored you and release a sense of comfort for those who loved you.

To my angel who was taken too soon, I want you to know I live each day with you by my side, although you may not be there physically I know spiritually we walk hand in hand. Your body may lay to rest now, but your spirit continues to carry on. When the skies turn to grey and the days seem to grow longer, I think back to the times we shared and they never fail to make a rainbow appear from up high. When nothing seems to be going right and the stress starts to kick in, I look down at my dashboard to your smiling face on your prayer card, reminding me that this isn’t the end. As our old favorite song suddenly turns on the radio, I look over to my empty passenger seat, and know that you are with me dancing and laughing as my frown begins to curve into a smile.

To my angel who was taken to soon, I hope you received every balloon released in the sky for you and every prayer read out loud for you. I hope you can see all the lives you’ve touched, and all the perspectives you’ve changed since you left us. I hope you see how many people love you, and know how many people think of you each second of every day. I hope your braces are now off your teeth and that you no longer need your glasses. I hope your out of pain and all your wounds are healed. Most importantly I hope you know that an angel like you is irreplaceable, and wherever we may go, you may tag along too. For, your story hasn’t ended yet, it has just begun. This is simply just a semicolon in your sentence, waiting to be continued, for when we meet again.

To my angel who was taken too soon, I love you and I miss you more than words can explain, but I live for the day that I’ll see you again.

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.
