A Letter to my Best Friend by Blood

Don’t let your head get too big, I’m still older (and cooler) than you.

A Letter to my Best Friend by Blood

To my Best Friend by Blood,

It’s not very often I get the chance to tell you how much you mean to me. You would’ve thought being 300 miles away would only put a strain on our relationship but it’s done nothing but bring us closer. When we were growing up, we did the typical sister thing. We fought over everything and stole each other’s clothes to the point of fist fights on Christmas eve. But there would never be a fight big or bad enough to make me stop loving you. Having a sister is God’s best gift. You are guaranteed a best friend for life no matter what.

I will admit this, and please don’t let your head get too big, but for years I have been jealous of you. You are the funniest person I have ever met. No matter where you go, you make the entire room laugh. You are so artistic and cool. I wish I got mom’s artistic genes because I am severely incapable compared to you guys. And, to top all of this off you are so gorgeous. Your smile and eyes light up every single room you are in. Not to mention you can do hair and makeup like a professional.

I truly think you’re one of your most amazing qualities is your strength. Anyone who knows us could tell you that crying is my strong suit. I wish I was able to be as strong and courageous as you. You take every situation head on and face it fearlessly. I admire you so much for this.

Most of all, all of these amazing things about you allow you to be my best friend, my blood buddy, and my sister. There is no one on this earth that I laugh as hard with or trust more. I know that no matter what I will always have you to lean on. Especially being so far away from you, I’ve learned that you’re the best resource anyone could ask for. Whether it be stupid boys, my weekend plans, a bad day or the best day ever, I know that I will always have you to talk about everything with. I hope that you never ever feel alone in this world because you will always have me. I hope that you never hesitate to reach out just because you want to talk. I hope that this world will always treats you amazing because you deserve everything this world has to offer and then some. A friend of mine recently wrote “Be surrounded by the light of love that people wield for you and let it rattle about. Let it soak you to the core. And when you’re feeling like you love enough, I hope you love, I hope you love, love more.” I will always be a light for you and I will always love you, never ever forget this.

Love, Your Older Cooler 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.
