To the woman who has taught me everything,

Who you are as a person has never ceased to amazing me. You have always made sure that everyone around you is okay. To those who have wronged you and continue to wrong you, you have shown nothing but kindness and have always kept smiling. You are the bravest woman I know, and for that I will always be thankful.

You have taught me everything you know, from how to choose my own battles and how to always treat myself as a princess. You were able to teach me how to stand up for myself but also how to pride myself on still being OK, even when my days became weak and cold. I will always cherish each moment you were with me, especially when I had needed you the most.

You have made me stronger than I once was and I am now ready for whatever college and life has decided to bring onto my path of success. I know that you will always be by my side and support me with whatever decision I decide to make. I know I will succeed with your help, because I can achieve anything with a supporter and believer as strong as lions — as strong as you.

I love you with all my heart and I promise that I will be OK. I will be able to conquer my doubts, because you've taught me to be tougher than even my toughest storms. I will be able to love fully and kindly, as that is who I am and am no longer afraid to be. I know that I will win and you will see me cross my finish line. You will be able to see me smile, as I receive my degree because I am the daughter of a woman who can cast storms, vibe with nature, and run with the wolves. In the words of Carrie Underwood: "You have given me everything that I will need, so now you have to let your baby fly."

I will be alright, I promise, so please do not worry about me, mom.

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.
