An Open Letter To Fall
Pixel Stalk

Dear Fall,

Is there a reason you keep teasing us with your gorgeous weather? I am tired of having to change clothes by the afternoon because you decide to leave and let summer back in. All I want to do is be able to wear my jeans and sweaters without having to feel sweaty by the end of the day. Plus, my long thick hair would like the break from going up into ponytails and back down again. I would also like to have the amazing cold weather that is perfect for drinking hot tea and hot chocolate. You have so many things that you are perfect for. Football games, scenic car drives, and so much more. Why would you even want summer to come back? You have so much sparkle that summer can not even compete with. Summer is so hot and dry. Summer does not have beautiful colors. The only colors summer contains is green and blue from oceans. You, fall, have so many beautiful colors: green, brown, red, orange, and yellow. Your cold air is so refreshing after a hot summer season. Another thing that you have that summer does not, a clear view of the stars. Your cold air allows the human eye to see the beautiful patterns the stars create. Summer can not provide the same clarity as you can. Shoot, you even have the perfect weather to fall in love. It is just cold enough where people can snuggle and not get too hot within a few minutes. Romantic dates are easy. Just go outside and take in all of your beauty while having a picnic with a significant other. Summer is always said to be the time to fall in love, but really, it is not. Fall, you have more perfect ways to fall in love than summer does and do not ever forget that. The only thing that summer has over you is a whole bunch of songs. A lot of those songs, though, do not talk about how beautiful summer is because it isn't. You have many poems and photos that depict and describe your beauty. Why would you even give summer the chance to take all of the best things about you away again and again? So, if you could stop doing the limbo with summer, everyone would thank you.


Sincerely,

Me

(And a whole bunch of other annoyed people.)

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.
