To My Recently Deployed Sister, I Miss You So Much Already

Dear Chelsie,

First and foremost, I want to say that I love you and am extremely proud of you. I know things haven't been easy and there are a lot of dumb people around you, but I have watched you grow ever since you joined the army to become someone I truly look up to.

After basic training, it was like you were a whole new person. Smart, strong, independent, loud, determined, everything a good leader should be. Being a soldier isn't easy, but you do it as if it's nothing and I admire you for that. I hope whenever I join the army I can be a leader that makes you proud.

This is the first deployment I've dealt with since dad retired from the army. And I know it's not the same because your job is different than his but I still worry about you a lot. We may not have always gotten along in the past, but you're my big sister and you've been there for me through some hard times.

No matter how much you annoy me sometimes, you are my best friend. Holidays aren't going to be the same without you home and I can tell you I'm not looking forward to them as much as I usually do. I hope you can still text a lot because life would be really boring without you sending me memes all the time and I hope you come home safe.

I can't wait to see you home again so we can play Minecraft together and talk about how annoying dumb people are. Try not to do anything stupid while you're gone because I will have to punch you if you do. Be safe while you're gone because we all love you and are impatiently waiting for you to come back home. I love you, Schwester and I'm so proud to be able to call you my big sister. I'll see you again in March.

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.
