To my nephew:

I feel like just yesterday I found out I was going to be an aunt, and I have only become more and more excited as time has gone on. You will be born any day now, and I wanted to write something to express how much love I already have for you.

It has been so amazing to see you grow bigger and bigger while your mommy has carried you. It seems like I just got to hear your heartbeat for the first time and we found out you were a boy. I have been so excited to feel you kick or feel you get the hiccups. I love talking to you inside your mommy's belly, even though you never kick for my voice. Also, I must admit I have played the "Park's and Rec" theme song for you probably more than I should have, and it is on record that you kicked for it. It has been the coolest things to watch a human grow. I'm so ready for you to be born, and I'm probably more impatient than your mom.

I promise to always be there for you and be the best aunt I can be. I'm going back to school soon, but I promise to always come home and see you and always make time for you. Your Aunt Ashley and I are constantly making plans and talking about all the stuff we want to do with you. I cannot wait to take you on adventures, spoil you rotten and make amazing memories together. I have so many things I want to teach you and do with you. I hope you always feel how much your aunts love you.

I cannot wait to see what kind of person you will become. I cannot wait to see what sports you will play, if you will do band like your aunts did or what all you will be interested in. So far, you are a very rowdy boy and it is so cool to see or feel you kick. I cannot wait to see how you will be once you are born.

I hope you always know how loved you are. I already think you are the most perfect baby, and there will never be a time I will not love you. Even as you grow older, I hope you know how much I love you, and I promise I will always be there for you. Whenever your mom gets annoying, your aunts will always be here.


Love,

Aunt Taylor

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.
