A Letter To The Girl My Brother Marries
Diana Giacobbe

Dear Future Sister-in-law,

First of all, I want to say thank you. Thank you for obviously being one of the main reasons my brother is smiling so much. All I truly want for him is for him to be happy and successful. It feels completely unreal to think about the day I will be sitting at his wedding, celebrating your love and you becoming a part of our family. I know my brother and while it may sound cliche, he honestly deserves the best. He has watched me go through more heartache, with probably many more to come than anything and would never hurt a girl in any way. Many girls don't understand the hurt that their brothers have caused for some girls and I am proud to say that my brother is definitely not the person to do that. While you already may know these things, I want to reinforce the most important things of marrying my brother...

Welcome to our crazy family. Family is the most important part of my brother's life and I am certain he picked you because you both have that in common. Welcome to our family birthday celebrations, annual Christmas Eve party and very fun weddings. I really pray that you love this family as much as my brother does.

Please spend your money wisely. Ever since my brother got a debit card, I have heard countless complaints from my parents of him spending his money on pointless things. You better be a saver, or else your money probably has no chance.

Know that your future children will probably be the luckiest children in the world because my brother is the most caring person to children. If he was in my field, he would most likely have been a pediatric nurse. Also know that your children will be lucky because they will have the most caring aunt to help guide them along with the most caring grandparents. While right now, we aren't rushing that day, we still all can't wait to take part in those special moments with him and you.

Even though we may not have crossed paths yet, I know I will love you already. I cannot wait to meet you and call you my sister.

See you soon,

Your Favorite Sister-in-law

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.
