To Mom And Dad

I’ll always be your little girl.

To Mom And Dad

Mom & Dad,

As a sophomore in college you would think that I would be dying to spread my wings and finally become independent, eagerly starting a life on my own and diving into the real world. However, as a kid at heart, I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to leave your nest, even though one day I know I’ll have to.

The “Parent Lottery” really does exist, and I won it hands down. You both have done everything you possibly could to give our family this beautiful life and I hope one day I can do the same for my own. Whether it was cheering and shouting at every softball game or even just cuddling up for cozy movie nights by the fireplace, I couldn’t be luckier for everything you have done for me.

So thank you, thank you, thank you. For everything you do, everything you’ve done, and everything you will do for me in the future. Thanks for tucking me in every night after bed time stories, being Santa Clause for ten years, and showering me with more love and support than I could have ever imagined. Dad, thanks in advance for walking me down the aisle on my wedding day and protecting my little girl someday the same way you have protected me. Mom, thanks in advance for teaching me your secret recipes and for being my best friend forever. Time may fly by but I’ll always be thankful for the life you have given me. And no matter what, I will always be your little girl. That’s a promise I’ll never break.

To mom and dad, thank you for everything. I love you both more than you’ll ever know.

With love forever and always,

Your little girl

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.
