As Your Aunt, I Promise You...
Tori Jean Hatfield

I thank God for my blessings everyday, but I fail to realize how truly blessed I am. My God has blessed me with the most amazing kids I get to call my niece and nephew. These sweet kids bless my heart everyday. These are my promises to you, my beautiful babies.

1. I promise to love you!

I promise to smother you with hugs and kisses. You will know you are loved by me.

2. I promise to be here through it all.

I promise to be here as you grow. I will be here to listen through the first breakup, first bad grade in school, and the first time your mom makes you mad. I will be here to comfort you, make you laugh, and love you. I will be here even when you don't want me to be.

3. I promise to spoil you!

As your aunt, I have the opportunity to spoil you, and I will use that opportunity. I promise to give you all the chocolate you want, and then send you home with your parents. I promise to buy you toys you really don't need. I will spoil you, because you deserve that!☺️

4. I promise to take lots of pictures.

I will take tons of pictures of you. Bare with me and know that you will appreciate these when you are already. I want to seize the moment, and have memories to look back on when you are older. So slow down, and smile! You will thank me later.

5. I promise to always be mesmerized by your smile.

I can not help but to smile when you smile. No matter what is going on, when you smile all is right with the world. So do not be bothered at me if i stare at you when you smile. I'm just taking in the perfectness.

6. I promise to laugh at your jokes.

I promise to laugh, even when you are not funny. I will laugh at you, with you, and for you. Because laughter feeds the soul.

7. I promise to dress you in cute clothes.

You will always be the cutest kid on the block, that I promise.

8. I promise to play all of your games that you make up.

I love nothing more than to sit on the floor with you and play the games you make up. Playing allows you to see I love and care.

9. I promise to always stick up for you.

I will always have your back. I will protect you in any circumstance. My love for you is unconditional.

10. I promise to always count you as one of my biggest blessings.

Every morning when I get up, I thank God for allowing me to be your aunt. I am thankful to get to see you and spend time with you. I'm thankful I get to love you. And most of all, I'm thankful I get to be called your aunt!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
