Thank you for getting me through my darkest days.

To the ones that stood by me through the darkest and most challenging days of my life, I can not thank you enough. It doesn’t matter how big or little of a presence you had turning that time, anything from a simple text saying, “thinking of you” to coming and visiting me even after the last time all I did was yell or cry is what go me through those days.

I don’t think I would have kept getting out of bed, kept thinking there was a light at the end of the tunnel, kept fighting if it hadn’t been for the messages of strength, faith, and love each of you sent my way. You never know just how powerful the strength of love it until those days were its only thinking about all the people standing beside you is the only thing that keeps you going. On those days where I didn’t want to keep going for myself it was all of you that kept me going, I kept on battling because I didn’t want to keep on hurting all of you. When I felt weak and like I couldn’t over come this even if I wanted to you all sent me massage of strength, courage, and faith. You all made me believe in myself when I was full of doubt.

I want to thank you for standing by me, I know it wasn’t always easy at times. There were days on end where I would shut you out, times where all I did was yell at you and tell you how much I hate you for making me go through this, I tired to blame you for my life being miserable, most days I was angry, resentful, and ungrateful for you. Looking back on my behavior I am truly embarrassed and want to apologize. I want to now take the time to tell you thank you for everything. For all the cards, all the text messages, the hours you spent on the road, the investment you put into me, and so much more. I have never felt more loved than when I came to the light at the end of the tunnel and finally saw all your guys love and support as not dragging me through hell but as pulling me out of hell. I am standing here today because of you. I am happy today because of you. I now cherish each and everyone of you even more deeply in my heart. I owe all of you my life.

So thank you for standing by me,

The struggling

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.
