An Open Letter To My Goddaughter

You were loved from the beginning, and you will be loved until the end.

To my Sophia,

I never knew it was possible to love someone you have never met or laid eyes on, until the day your mother asked me to be your godfather. I had a sudden rush of emotions at that very moment, but the one emotion that overpowered the rest was excitement. I knew I was ready to take on this responsibility. At that moment, being your god father was the only thing in the world that mattered to me. I may not have carried you for nine months, but I will spend the rest of my life loving you. You will never have a want or need in the world as long as I’m around. And when I’m no longer here, I will paint your face in the sky with the colors that spin around in my mind, just so others will know how much you brightened my life when you entered it.

I want you to understand, I will always be there for you, no matter what. Whether your mom, dad, or even grandma (I love you, Lina) are driving you insane, or you just want to get out of the house and hang out with your super cool godfather, I will always be only a phone call away. Your mother is probably going to kill me for how much I'm going to spoil you, but that's okay, we can both take her. I mean like really now, who can say no to a face like yours?

My only hopes for you are that you become a better version of all the positive influences you have in your life and you listen and learn from the mistakes we've made and will make. Understand that when you get in trouble, it's not us trying to be mean to you, it's us trying to stop you from making the wrong decisions. You have so many people that love you, and our love for you will only grow stronger with every passing day.I know you are too young to read and understand this right now, but I hope you will read this when you are older and understand how much I enjoy being able to be your godfather.

I know you are too young to read and understand this, but I hope one day when you are old enough and stumble upon this, you will see how much I loved you from the day I knew I was going to get to be a part of your life. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you.

Love,

Tio Dj

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.
