An Open Letter To My Older Sister

Dear Sissy,

Whenever I am asked who my biggest role model is, my answer is always you. Even though you are just six years and one day older than I am, you are so wise beyond your years. You always give the best advice, even if it not what I want to hear. Your advice and guidance have truly made such an impact on who I am today and I could not be more thankful. You are so careful and well spoken and truly have a way to talking to me. Thank you for your words of wisdom.

Many of my favorite childhood memories are the ones that we have shared. I love how we can get together and look back and laugh about all the crazy things we did growing up. I will forever cherish all the memories that we made and will continue to make. Even though we are in different seasons and places of our lives right now, I know that we will continue to keep making memories that will last a life time. Thank you for making life fun.

Ever since I could walk, I would follow you around and look to you to see what I should be doing. I am so glad that I did that. You have taught me so many things about life, whether it be how to clean (you did a lot of teaching about this), or how to handle difficult situations that I have encountered. You have also taught me the importance of a college education, and I am so thankful I have you to turn to when college gets tough. I am so proud to go to the same college you did. The most important thing you have taught me is to not settle and the importance of finding true happiness. I have watched you bloom into this happy, successful adult (whether you want to admit it or not, you are now officially an adult). Thank you for all the life lessons.

I have said this to you a number of times, but I am so proud of you. Thank you for being the best role model I could ask for. Thank you for setting such a great example and supporting me and all of my crazy en devours. Thank you for being my best friend through everything. I would not be where I am today if it was not for you and your guidance. We are so different, but at the same time we understand each other, and I can not even put into words how thankful I am for that.

Love,

Your Little 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.
