To My Little Sister

"Back in time it seemed that having a sister were a tragedy. Instead it is one of the best presents my parents could have ever given me." ―Sara Anzellotti, An Unexpected Proposal

God's greatest gift to girls was a sister, at least that I how I look at it. Imagine having a best friend who you live with; it's pretty awesome. Life with a sister is just better than life as an only child or life with a brother. It goes beyond just sharing clothes, shoes, makeup, and hair products. The type of bond I have with my sister is unlike the type of bond I have with anyone else. She knows me better than my mom knows me, she can tell when something is wrong immediately and never fails to lend a helping hand when needed. She is the best thing that I could have ever been given.

Sister,

I hope you know how wonderful you are. You are my best friend, my partner in crime, and the oneI can go to for anything. You never fail to make me laugh (even if I try to pretend your jokes are not funny because I want to be the funnier sibling). You simply amaze me in all aspects of life. Your intelligence is something I have always envied, along with your generosity. You are turning into such a beautiful person inside and out and I could not be more proud of you.

Life is not always easy for you but you find a way to make it work anyway. Your ability to overcome struggles and just grow from them is impeccable and you are rarely unhappy, even after a bad day.

Having a sister like you just makes my life easier, even if we are 230 miles, way because of college. I love our weekly FaceTime dates and they never fail to brighten my day. Seeing your smiling face (even if it is only for 30 minutes) is one of my favorite things.

I wish nothing but the best for you as you are growing up and making big life decisions. Deciding where you want to do for the rest of your life and where you want to go to college can be scary, but I know you will make a great choice. It is amazing watching you grow up and see the person you have become because I still remember you being 4 and playing Barbies with me. Although I miss those days, I like these days more. I enjoy having serious conversations with you about life and the people we have become. You have become such an amazing person. I hope you know how beautiful you are inside and out.

You're not only my little sister but also my best friend.

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.
