I Wish Heaven Had A Phone

If I could only hear your voice again...

I Wish Heaven Had A Phone
Mollie Sparks

Death is only painful for the living.

I'm sure you are happy in Heaven, but I can't help but be sad you're not here with me and I know that's selfish.

But if Heaven had a phone, I'd call it everyday. I'd check on my family, I'd check on my friends, my classmates and even my acquaintances.

I miss my great grandma's white curly hair, long beautiful nails, purple embroidered shirts and love of all things happy, beautiful, natural and sweet. I miss her bubbly personality and giant heart, but it seems as if she may have given some of that to me after her passing.

I miss my grandpa's voice, his sweet, caring voice that always put a smile on my face. I miss his funny little phrases and sayings. I miss sitting across from him at the dinner table. I miss those precious, happy, "Hi! How was school?" greetings at 3:00 everyday when I got out of school.

I miss my aunt's hugs. I miss her Memorial Day cook-outs, Easter egg hunts, and family gatherings at her house. I miss her love for animals, children and all things sun, beach and fun related. I miss her loving, caring nature and her strong will. I miss her presence.

I just wish I could call. I wish I could call and tell them about school, about my success, and my failures too. I wish they knew me now. I wish they knew all I've been through and how strong I had to be to come out of it all as a better person. I wish I could ask about Heaven. I wish I could ask them about God and all the angels.

I just wish they were here but since that's not possible, I guess I'll just keep wishing Heaven had a phone.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
