7 Things Every Older Sibling Should Tell Their Younger Sibling
Julia Araneo

Being the older sibling is definitely a blessing and a curse. You are the first born, the practice child, the trial run and sometimes that doesn't really benefit you. And when they decide to have another child you become the role model. Your parents are now more strict with you and expect a lot more. There is an instant love hate relationship with your younger sibling. You love them more than life, but you hate them for having it easier and being able to do a lot more than you ever could.

They will most likely want to be a part of your plans and they will not listen to you at all. This will cause a lot of arguments, but despite all the irrelevant fights you will always want to protect them. Us older ones don't really tell our younger siblings everything we want to or should mostly because they don't listen, but these are some things I think we all want to make sure they know...

1. I will always be your best friend.


2. Even when I want nothing to do with you, I will still be there for you.


3. I will never hurt you on purpose.


4. You are the most annoying/irritating person in my life, but I love you anyway.


5. The people closest to you can hurt you most, so always be aware.


6. You don't have to dress up for every occasion because you are so much more perfect than you realize.


7. KNOW THAT YOU ARE WORTH SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU REALIZE.

It's important that we make sure all our younger siblings know things like this because we are more important to them then we realize.

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.
