'Tis the season of giving - more like 'tis the season of stressing what to give people as gifts. There is so much pressure of giving a gift that is able to show someone how much you love, understand, and know them. I get so wrapped up (pun intended) in gift giving and getting a material item that shows how much I love the people in my life, that sometimes I forget to just verbalize how much I love them. It's kind of silly once you think about it, that getting the perfect gift would mean more than just communicating how much that person means to you. I would remember someone making me feel appreciated, even if their gift was "average" a lot more fondly than I would someone getting me the perfect gift. So here are some phrases you can say to the people you love this holiday, whether you're giving a gift to them, receiving one, or just being around them this holiday season.

1. I really appreciate you and all you do for me.

2. I love spending time with you.

3. I don't get to see you as often as I would like to but I really enjoy our time together.

4. I can always be myself around you.

5. I'm very thankful I have you in my life.

6. Thank you for spending time with me, I really enjoy being with you.

7. You know me so well.

8. Thank you for always making me feel special and loved.

9. Thank you for including me in your holiday festitives, it's been great!

10. Thank you for always making me feel comfortable.

11. You always make me feel safe.

12. I love you

At the end of the day, just tell the people you love how much they mean to you.

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.
