An Open Letter To My Sister

Growing up is hard but I wouldn't want to be figuring out this whole "life" thing with anyone other than you.

An Open Letter To My Sister

I know we don't always get along, I know we don't always see eye to eye. But there are so many things that I need you to know that sometimes I just don't have the time to say.

The first thing I want you to know is that I am always here for you. Even if I'm far away, incredibly busy, stressed out or mad. You are the person that I will always make time to help and talk to when you need me. You are a priority in my life. You are the one person that has been with me since birth and nothing will ever change that. We have a special bond that no one can ever change.

The second thing I want you to know is that I love you. I love you more than you could ever imagine. I will always, always cherish the memories that we have made throughout the years. I can't wait to make many, many more with you doing crazy and silly things. I cherish our Starbucks dates, our car rides to and from college, our lunch dates every Tuesday, our library dates three times a week, everything. You will be the person standing beside me on my wedding day and I'll be standing beside you on yours. We probably won't agree on anything about each other's weddings and we'll hate each others bridesmaid dresses, but we'll stand there and smile on each others special day because it'll make the other one happy.

The third thing I want you to know is that you're important to me. You're amazing, smart, beautiful in every way. I value you, your opinion, your advice, your honor and respect, your intelligence - everything about you. You're the first person that I go to when I need advice. You're the person that I run to when I'm happy or when I'm crying.

Even when I'm not with you, I'm still always going to be here for you. I'm a phone call, text, or FaceTime call away. Growing older and going our separate ways has given me a newly found appreciation for you. Sometimes there is nothing I want more in this world that a hug from my sister. I've realized that all the fights over clothes and other small fights we had as children have only made our sisterhood stronger. Growing up is hard but I wouldn't want to be figuring out this whole "life" thing with anyone other than you.

I'll leave you with one last thing. I love you with all of my heart. Please never forget that I love you. Never forget that you are always beautiful and intelligent, even if you feel like you aren't. When life requires us to go our separate ways for real, never forget that I'm here for you. You're the best sister that anyone could ever ask for.

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.
