An Open Letter To My Daughter.
Angelica collazo

Daughter,

Your existence has made the world around me a brighter, better place. You have changed life as I've known it since the moment I knew you would be mine. Your smile lights up my life and I could never be sad with you in my arms. You're still only a baby, not even old enough to tell me you love me... but I know you understand that I love you.

I can't promise you I'll be the perfect mother, I may not always have everything together. I may mess some things up, but I will always try my hardest to be the mom that you deserve. I will never be too busy for you. I'll push aside anything to make sure you are okay because in the end YOU are everything to me. You will never feel alone, and that is a promise. I will never let you wander lost with no direction, I am here for you every single moment you would like me to be.

I will do by best to make sure you know that you are perfect just the way you are, and you can be anything you want to be. I will never put you down or make you feel silly for something you love, I will be your greatest motivator and your biggest fan. You will be accepted for everything you are, nothing more and nothing less.

We may not always have the nicest clothes, and the biggest house, and the newest latest technology. But I can promise we will always have each other my beautiful girl, you will always have a house full of love. I intend to fill your heart with as much happiness as I possibly can, and I intend to ease your pain with laughter.

I will raise you to enjoy the beauty of life and to appreciate all the little things, because in fact, that is what life is about. I can only hope through out your life you will take a step down from whatever you're doing and appreciate something small and precious, and think of your childhood, and of course me.

My dear daughter, I know there is no such thing as perfect, and I know that being you're parent will be the hardest thing I will ever do, but I will do these things for you. I may give you peanut butter when you asked for nutella, and there may be times when I am having an awful day and I'm being moody. But I hope you always know that I love you with every fiber of my being.

Love,

Your mom.

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.
