An Open Letter to Summer 2015

Dear Summer 2015,

I hope you are doing well; I am extremely excited to meet you! I have spent all year thinking about the memories we will make. I know that you will be here before I know it, but when you come there are a few things that I would like for you to bring:

  1. Friendship: I hope you bring the opportunity to make new friends, and the blessing of keeping old ones. I hope that the time we share will be ample and sweet.
  2. Family Time: I hope that you will bring time for my family to share together. I hope that we are able to bond and grow as people together.
  3. Adventure: I would love for you to bring adventure! I hope that I can try new things, explore new places, and make new memories.
  4. Love and Laughter: Above all else, please do not forget the love and laughter. I hope that you bring a smile for everyone. Please fill our hearts with love and our ears with the sounds of giggles.

Thank you so much, Summer, for everything that you are going to bring. I can promise you a few things, too:

  1. To smile on the sunny days: I promise to take advantage of the sun and the good weather! I promise to play outside and to appreciate the blessing of the sunset.
  2. To smile on the rainy days: I promise to listen to the thunderstorms and awe at our earth. I promise to play in the rain and love every second!
  3. Acknowledgement: I promise to take the time and realize the amazing things we will do. I will remember to thank you each day for the memories we create!
  4. Love and Laugher: I promise to remember to bring my own love and laughter. I will keep my heart full of joy and a smile on my face. I promise to be kind to my friends, my family, all others, and myself.

I can't wait to meet you, Summer!

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.
