The Thank You My Mom Deserves, But Never Got...Until Now.
Jenna Jones

First, thank you for raising me to have faith.

No one can force you to believe in God, but throughout the years you have helped me choose to believe in Him. I chose to believe not only because of how you raised me but also because I have witnessed his power and love in my life. I will forever be grateful that you helped me find God. You have always taught me to keep my faith in him no matter what. I know I will make it through the trails of life because I have him to guide me every step of the way.

Thank you for always believing in me.

You have always told me I can do anything I put my mind to, and I have lived by that every day. I know I may have to work hard in order to achieve my goals, but I know it is possible to do that because of you. Also, thank you for always helping me to believe in myself and for believing I can achieve great things in life.

Thank you for not giving up on me.

I know I have upset you and made you mad more times than I know about, but still through it all you haven’t given up on me. You have always been there for me no matter what the situation was, and you deserve a HUGE thank you for that.

Thank you for raising me to be independent.

You have always taught me to never depend on anyone for anything, which helped me to be who I am today. I may have to work hard in order to get the things I want but it is better than having someone be able to tell me “you wouldn’t have that if it wasn’t for me.” Thank you for raising me to have the ambition to do great things on my own and become successful without depending on anyone but myself.

Thank you for being an amazing mom.

You are always there for me no matter the time of day. I know if I need you that you will be there in a heartbeat. You always go above and beyond to make sure I am taken care of and I don’t thank you enough for that. This is my way of making sure you know how much you are appreciated. You are an awesome woman and an even better mother. When the time comes for me, I hope I can be at least half as good of a mom as you are to me. Last but not least, thank you for raising me to be the woman I am today, after all I wouldn’t be where I am in life without your love and guidance through the years. I know I don’t say it as much as I should but thank you so much for all of these things, I love you 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.
