I just wanted to let you know...

A Letter To My Future Niece Or Nephew
Msecnd

Dear Future niece or nephew,

Let me just start by saying... I AM SO EXCITED TO MEET YOU!! I can't wait to hold you, I can't wait to make you giggle, I can't wait to see that little smile, I can't wait to rock you to sleep, I can't wait to bounce you on my lap, I can't wait to hear your little cooing voice. I can't wait...

Now, I'll be honest with you....I have absolutely no idea how to be an aunt. BUT, I have amazing examples to follow, so I think I'll be alright! The one thing you can count on is that I'll always try my hardest to be the best aunt I can be for you.

I promise to be the best "Fun Aunt" you'll ever know. I'll teach you how to dance as soon as you can walk. When you get older I'll teach you how to stay up till one in the morning playing Xbox. I'll teach you how to ride roller coasters until we both get sick. I'll teach you how to beatbox so your friends think your cool. I'll teach you how to use European accents so you can prank strangers. I'll even teach you my secret recipe of how to freeze your peanut butter and honey sandwiches so they're crunchy (I swear it's delicious).

But more importantly, I promise to love you with every part of my heart.

I promise to be the shoulder that you can always go to cry on (if you're a boy, don't worry, I can work with manly tears). I will always be there to watch out for you and help you get out of jams, no matter how bad the situation. Whenever you need advice, my door is always open. Whenever you need snacks, my pantry door is too.

If you ever need someone to just listen when you need a moment to vent, I'm there (especially if it's about your parents!). Or if you ever need that oh-so-wonderful relationship advice, you can learn from my mistakes. And I will cheer you on in school, in life, and apparently in soccer (if your father has his way....oh dear). Even if I live far away, I'm never too far to be there for you.

All that considered, one thing you must know is that you are surrounded by many many people who love you and care about you and cherish you, and just know that without a doubt....I am one of those 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.
