Dear Little Brother,

First of all, I would like to tell you how proud I am to be able to call you my little brother. Growing up we used to fight just like any other siblings do, but I wouldn’t have wanted to grow up with anyone else by my side. A lot of my best memories involve growing up with you. Now you have grown into an amazing man, with the kindest heart.

This year you will graduate high school. Keep in mind that wherever you go, no matter how far away, I will always be a text, phone call, or FaceTime away. I will always be here for you with everything you do. While you experience college things won’t always go as planned, but eventually you will discover everything happens for a reason. I hope you find what makes you happiest, and what you would enjoy doing for the rest of your life. You are so smart, and I have no doubt that you will become extremely successful one day.

I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate having a brother who doubles as a best friend, not many people are lucky enough to say that. I know that I can always come to you to make my days better. You can always make me laugh, whether it be from a stupid joke you have, or a story from what you and your friends did at school. You have always supported me through everything I have done, and I can’t thank you enough for that.

I am so proud of all of your accomplishments. Never doubt yourself or what you have accomplished, many people aspire to do the things you do. You have received many awards and honors, those are important, never let anyone tell you differently. As you go onto college, I can’t wait to see what amazing things you will accomplish.

You will make mistakes, but that is what college is for. Your freshman year you will discover many things, but all of these things are apart of growing up. You will meet some amazing people, and you will meet some not so great people. Keep in mind the only ones that matter are the amazing ones. College is hard, but it will be one of the greatest times of your life.

The person you have become is a pretty great one. No one ever has a bad word to say about you, you are kind to anyone and everyone. You treat everyone equally, regardless of who they are. You work so hard to accomplish your goals. You are reliable, you will do anything in your power to help people out, even if you have other things to do. You have the kindest heart of anyone I know, and that is one of your best qualities. Never change.

Wherever you go, whatever you do, remember how proud everyone is of you, and as you graduate high school, and continue to grow, I will always be right here for you.

I love you,

Your Big Sister

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.
