3 Things I Want To Thank My Father For
Author's photo

At the age of 22, I still need my dad. Whether it be for advice or just one of his bear hugs, I will need him for the rest of my life. I don’t tell him how much he means to me on a day to day basis, but I love him more than he will ever know. To say “Thank You” for all things he has done for me in my 22 years of life will never be enough.

1. Thank you for being my supporter in all my life adventures

Thank you for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Thank you for allowing me to make mistakes, but making me suffer the consequences on your terms. Thank you for cheering me on in every aspect of life. Thank you for loving me through my bad days and bringing me home sushi and ice cream on days I just didn’t want to leave the house after a long day at school and an even longer practice.

2. Thank you for giving me the love I have for sports

Thank you for all the adventures we took together and all the tailgate parties we attended. Thank you for teaching me the vocabulary of all sports, football, baseball/softball, and basketball. Thank you for teaching me how to properly yell at the tv like the players can hear me. Most importantly, thank you for allowing me to play a sport you love and giving me the opportunity to play under your rules as a coach. Thank you for being my #1 fan and giving me an unending love for the game. Thank you for all the hours of pitching practice after regular practice. Thank you for allowing me to change my motion and my stance when something didn’t feel the same. Thank you for keeping me in the best shape in the off season while allowing me to be a kid at the same time.

3. Thank you for making me work hard

Because of you I knew at an early age I had to work for anything I wanted in life. Between house hold chores and holding me accountable for my own dedication to any sports I played, I knew what hard work was at an early age. At the time, I hated you for it and I thought it was pointless, but come find out, you were right, and always have been.

You’ll never know how much I appreciate you and the father-daughter relationship we had when I was growing up, and even though I don’t speak much on it now, I will always remember the good times we had over the bad times. I love you to the moon and back, deddy.

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.
