Love, Auntie

To my sunshines, I will always be your auntie

I didn't really know what to expect with being an auntie, would we just see each other on holidays and birthdays or would we FaceTime a few times a week because I miss you like crazy. My two nephews are definitely the best parts of my life and for them, I only wish the most happy, love filled life, so...

To my boys,

First off, I just want you to know how much you are loved. Not a day goes by that your sweet smiles and innocent laughs don't cross my mind. I hope you know how important you are to me and how much love I have for you. Never could I have imagined, I could love anyone as much as I love the two of you.

As you get older, I hope you never lose your sense of wonder. Every time I turn around, you're growing and discovering new things, with a wide-eyed gaze, mesmerized by the beauty in everything. I hope that never fades and each day you grow, but never lose sight of the wonders of the world and the wonders of yourself.

Always remember, I am just a call away. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, and for me that is most definitely true. I took living with you for granted and now I go weeks without seeing you at a time. The distance is hard, probably harder for me than you, but it makes every FaceTime and visit home that much better. Don't ever doubt that I am here for you every step of the way and if you ever need, I'll be home in the blink of an eye.

As you grow up, I hope you always remember, mistakes are a part of life and I promise to always fix them for you as best as I can and remember I will always be in your number 1 fan and always by your side. From all of your future school accomplishments, plays, games, and whatever else you get yourself involved in, I will be there, beaming with joy because my little angels are growing up.

No matter how old you get or where we all end up, I will always be your auntie. I will always be there for those things you need help with but don't want to ask mom and dad, for those things you desperately need (want) and mom and dad say no. I will always be the person you can turn too and I promise to never be too hard on you, but always push you to be your best. I will always be proud of you, always love you, and always be your auntie (and your favorite).

I look forward to every second of growing up with you boys, seeing your smiles, and loving you more and more every day. Thank you for being my sunshines.

Love always,

Auntie

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.
