An Open Letter To My Future Brother-In-Law

She deserves everything in the world but you make up for it by loving her and treating her like the queen that she is.

An Open Letter To My Future Brother-In-Law
Katie Smith

I didn't think that anyone was going to be crazy enough to marry my sister but you continue to amaze me. I'm just kidding, I'm so happy that you and my sister found each other. Granted I didn't like having to share my older sister but I don't think that I have ever seen her happier than she is with you. I'm going to say this now so we can get it out of the way, you better take care of her or your going to have a crazy baby sister to be answering to. She's my best friend and my sister. She deserves the world.

I am so happy that you two have found each other. I don't share well with others, you can pretty much ask anyone that I know, but I'm happy that I share her with you. You have to understand that it's been just the two of us my whole life. Yeah, we had mom and dad but she was the one who I cried too, told my secrets too, and complained too when I thought that mom and dad were being unfair. Granted we pretty much hated each other when we were growing up but we learned to love each other. I guess I can learn to love you too. I mean my sister did. Ha, I'm just kidding. I already love you for the way that you love my sister.

Now I know that not every single member of my family is too keen on the whole barn thing, but I think that its amazing. I know my sister and she has never been the whole big church, lots of flowers, or the super BIG wedding. I think that the barn fits the both of you to a T. Good job. She deserves big but you make up for it by loving her and treating her like the queen that she is. Treat her well, love her, and give her wine and you'll be set for life.

In all seriousness, she has worked hard her whole life, she took care of her baby sister when needed, she worked her butt off in school to get where she needed to be, and during that time she found you. I don't think that she ever really had time off. She went from high school to college and then straight to work when she graduated. She deserves the life that you will build together. I can't be more excited for you both.

Love, be happy, and love one another. I think that's all I can ask for.

Much love,

Your future sister-in-law.

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.
