To The Sister I Never Had

To The Sister I Never Had

To my best-friend-soul-mate,

Growing up was kinda rough on me as far as friends go. I always had my softball family and I always will. But I only had a handful of people who I could call friends 365 days of the year. High school was just as rough, I could never quite find the right group to fit in with, and like everyone said, high school flew by and I was off to college before I knew it. It took me a while to find you, I went through a couple roommates and a few months. But once I did end up with you, I found the sister I never had, and I couldn't imagine my two years at community college without you. Late night talks, taking care of me when I had surgery, going to the gym but complaining about it the whole time, 8:00 am lectures together, KFC runs, and family dinners all shaped who I became, and quite frankly, made my two years at community college all worth it.

Thank you for pushing me to be my best and for always seeing the absolute best in me. You always know exactly what to say. When I had a rough day, you were the one there with pizza and ice cream. You are always on my side, and I couldn't be more thankful for that. When something good happens you are the first person I want to tell. As cheesy as it sounds, you are my other half, and I couldn't imagine life without you. You make each day a bit brighter. You always know how to make light of any situation, and you share my love for Starbucks, so what else really matters, right??

Now we live almost 500 miles apart, and some days are rough...really rough. Because at the end of the day all I want to do is come home and gossip about the day. And some days, I just want someone to laugh with me at all the bullsh*t.



No where we have been has ever been the same. We leave impressions EVERYWHERE!

But I am happy for you - truly. You are a rock star. You do hard things when no one else wants to, you are so resilient, and have big goals! But please know, I will be there 100% of the way. I will be your biggest fan when you succeed and your shoulder to cry on when times get tough. You always have a smile on your face, and when I am with you, the days seem just that much easier to manage.

Thank you for putting up with me, for supporting me, for being my better half.

Spring Training in Arizona - SO FUN!

I love you always.

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.
