Dear Little Sister
Emily Evenson

Dear little sister,

First off, I want to remind you that you are so loved and adored. You are stronger than you can imagine and worth more than diamonds. Growing up hasn't always been easy, but with you by my side anything is possible. Through thick and thin, I'm so blessed to have you as my little sister.

I want to thank you for a few things. Thank you for loving me through anything and everything. Thank you for always laughing with me, and showing me how to have a good time. Thank you for always reminding me that I have someone there for me. You have been right beside me to cheer me on through anything. For these things and more, I am forever thankful.

I hope I left some good footsteps for you to follow, but more importantly I hope you do better than I have done. I look forward to seeing you reach for the stars and follow your dreams. While you may not know what you want to do now, I know that you are more than capable of anything you set your mind to. Please remember that you are so much more than what your GPA says or your teachers may tell you. From my experience the opinion of others means nothing, it's what you know you are capable of that truly matters.

You have taught me so much about friendships. You have the biggest heart and everyone can see that. You’re at an age where boys become more appealing, yet you would rather focus on building strong friendships than search after a boy. For this, you are truly making the right choice. You are an individual who keeps your true friends close and makes sure each one feels loved. This shows how much power and grace you carry.

I will be here for you until the day I die. I promise to love you unconditionally and to protect you from as much as I possibly can. You come before anyone. I will always be right here for you to lean on.

Love,

Your big 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.
