You have had so many different roles in my life.

You Are More Than Just A Mom
Abbie Altamirano

Mom, you have and always will be more than a mom to me. Here some of the roles you have played in my life. I cannot thank you enough.

My First Teacher

From brushing my teeth and walking to teaching me how to solve quadratic formulas you have taught me so much. I am constantly learning from you and you are always teaching me new things.

My First Love

You have loved me unconditionally, which I know was not easy. You have been there for me from day one and I know I can count on you any day at any time.

My Therapist

You have never failed to listen to my endless rants and constant rambling. You give me the best advice and help me through everything and anything no matter what time of day.

My Personal Shopper

From my favorite snacks to the dress I need for a show you have bought it all for me. You understand my taste and my favorite kinds of food. I miss coming home to random surprises that you bought me.

My Biggest Cheerleader

Any game, performance, or award ceremony you were there cheering me on. I loved hearing your voice in the crowd, even if it was embarrassingly loud.

My Voice Reason

I can always count on you to tell me how it is. Whether I need a reality check or just have your voice in the back of my head I know I can count on you to steer me in the right path.

My Nurse

I miss the days when you would take care of me all day. You have kissed the booboos and handled me on my worst days. Nothing helps a cold more than a mother's love.

My Alarm

Not very many people can get me out of bed, but you have mastered it. You know what alarms I sleep through and when I am lying about getting up.

My Role Model

My Chef

I am not quite sure how you managed to make any food with my schedule, your schedule, and all the chaos in the house but you did. Not to mention that it was really delicious and my cooking doesn't even compare.

My Hairstylist

You have always understood how my hair works and always do it just the way I want it. I can always count on you for the perfect do or just help getting the tangles out.

My Humiliation

Let's face it, you enjoy embarrassing me and I kind of do too. You love to brag, get emotional, and overshare my life...in front of me. I can't even stay mad because it's so funny and I know you don't mean any harm.

My Personal Bodyguard

Anyone who messes with me has to go through Mama Bear. Sometimes you scare me with how protective you are. I love that you always have my back.

But most of all, My Best Friend

I love that I can dance, laugh, joke, talk, hug, and just hang out with you. You bring me so much happiness. You mean the world to me. You have made me who I am.

I love you Mom. Happy Mother's Day.

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.
