To The Little Sister Who Brings Out The Best In Me

If you didn't know how much I love you already...

To The Little Sister Who Brings Out The Best In Me
Lexi McCarthy

Dear Little Sis,

There isn't anything that I could ask for that would be better than having you as a little sister. I am not even sure if you're aware of how much you mean to me. And although that may be hard to put into words, here are just some of the things that I love most about you.

1. We are alike in so many ways

I can always count on you to share your clothes and shoes and makeup and, well, everything with me. (Our taste in those things is my favorite similarity that we share). I can always count on you to stand up for me. I can always count on you if I want someone to grab food with. And I can always count on you to cry with me over the newest episode of "Grey's Anatomy," so we clearly are alike in all of the best ways.

2. You're crazy and weird brings out my crazy and weird

You are so fun. And you are constantly reminding me that we can be silly together.

3. You are always supporting me

Whether it has been watching my cheer competitions or temporarily disliking a person who has upset me, you have always been supportive. You are my little cheerleader/secret keeper/constant encouragement. I love being able to come to you with anything, and I hope you never forget that you can always do the same.

4. You're my favorite person to have to drive around

No one else would have been OK with how long I let Taylor Swift's new album replay without wanting to listen to something else. But you were right there with me singing "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" and all our other favorites (the whole album, basically). And if not Taylor Swift, you are always willing to jam with me during a car ride.

5. You have taught me what it means to feel protective

The way you see me matters to me. I won't lie to you about who I am or hide things from you. I just hope that I am being a good enough role model for you to follow. It is so important to me that you are always happy and never hurt. And I will kick the butts of anyone (especially boys!!!) who tries to hurt you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what it really means to want to take care of someone no matter what.

You have one of the biggest places in my heart. I love you.

Love,

Your Big Sis

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.
