To The Kindest Person I Know

She is the most supportive person I know.

To The Kindest Person I Know
Alicia Burrell

As Mother's Day approaches, I am reminded of how wonderful my mom is.

She is kind, loving, sassy, and supportive. I want to be as supportive as she is one day because her support shows through in the form of understanding, but also showing up for those who need her.

She will go to funerals to support her friends, spend as much money that is necessary to help family, drive to my college to give me something I need, and spend all day at an event that I helped plan.

She is the most supportive person I know.

As I've gone through the trials and tribulations of going to college and living on my own, she has left an incredible mark on me. We all say we won't be our parents, but I hope to my mom.

I've realized how important it is to support one another. College is hard, life is downright awful at times, and what makes it better is having someone who will show up for you.

She has shown up by sending me good luck texts when I have a big test, encouraging me when I'm down, sitting with me while I cry about school or life, and actually physically showing up to my work when I'm sad to bring me a Starbucks.

My mom shows her love by showing up when I or anyone around her needs it most.

Thank you, mom, for showing me this quality that is so vital. Thank you for being the person I always need.

Most importantly, I hope to show up for you too because no matter how hard I try-- I will never be able to repay you.

"i struggle so deeply to understand how someone can pour their entire soul blood and energy into someone without wanting anything in return-- i will have to wait till I'm a mother," Rupi Kaur.

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.
