A Letter To My Little Sister

I love you, no matter the distance.

A Letter To My Little Sister
Alison Moore

Dear Little Sister,

I know we have never been the closest, but I want you to know that I love you dearly. We have had many fights and petty arguments, but we have made it through it all. Whether you were stealing my clothes or just doing things I didn't approve of, I have loved you through it.

Since I have gone to college and you have moved away, our bond has seemed to grow. You have realized that I truly do care about you, and I have realized that even though you drive me absolutely insane, I would never want you out of my life. As your older sister, I just want what is best for you and want you to do great in life. I want you to know that no matter what, I will always be here for you no matter the distance.

As your older sister I want you to know a few things. You need to always believe in yourself, no matter what anyone says to you. You need to see your true beauty without all that makeup and love yourself for who you really are. I know you struggle with that because all of the "standards" that they set in magazines and multiple other forms of media. You define your own beauty and self-confidence, so make it count.

While many other people make stupid decisions, try to make the smartest one. You will thank me later. I have witnessed many stupid mistakes being made and do not want you to do the same. The consequences of bad decisions could change your life forever, good or bad. Be the smarter and wiser one when it comes to making any important, life-changing decisions.

As you get older, I hope you understand why I always hounded you about certain things. I just want what is best for you and for you to love your life. I hope you realize why I always tried to be "your mom" at some points in life because you needed it. I know you always hated it, but I had to for your sake. Even though you probably didn't listen to me half the time, I hoped you were getting something out of my lectures to you.

The final thing I want you to know is that you are precious and you deserve the best. I know you have had quite a few boyfriends, but just know the right one will come along. When he does, know that I will be there to make sure he treats you right and loves you for who you are.

Thank you for being my little sister, even though you drive me up the wall most of the time. I love you with all of my heart and know that if you ever need anything, I am always here even if I am away at college. Don't ever be afraid to come to me for advice but just know that I will tell you the honest truth.

Sincerely,

-Your Older 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.
