Thank you for loving them.

Open Letter To My Present And Future Sister-In-Laws

As you already know, my brothers are some of the most amazing people on this planet. That is not an exaggeration. They protect, inspire, encourage, entertain, and love me in a way that no other man, besides my father, does. I'm a better person because of them and I owe much of the way I was brought up and who I have become to them. You are in the beginning of starting your life with such incredible men. You get to experience that love first hand in a different, but just as good, way.

Now, I would like to thank you. Over the years, I have seen my brothers grow into mature, sweet, kindhearted men. I have seen and experienced their sorrow when each had their hearts broken by a girl. And then you came and patched up those pieces that I, as just a sister, could not do. So thank you, for bringing back the fun, exciting and happy feelings into my family. Their lives are changed in the best way possible, forever, because of you.

I would also like to say welcome. Welcome to the family. Obviously, you did not meet my brother and immediately get married before meeting our immediate family. This means that it feels as though you've been in the family for awhile now. It's great to finally feel even more of a connection after already being so welcome in our crazy family. Our family will love you, always, simply because you love our boys.

Lastly, another thank you. Thank you for becoming my new sister. Growing up with four brothers, it was always a wish of mine to have sisters. I used to sit with my best friend, who also did not have any sisters, and we would fantasize about being each other's sisters and doing all the things you would normally do with a built in best friend in your own family. I fully and whole heartedly "give away" my brother to you and only in return ask that you love, cherish and continue to grow together to keep making each other happy in the best way possible. You're an incredible, beautiful, smart, nurturing woman and I wish you nothing but happiness and a lifetime of joy with our family!

Lots of love,

Your sister-in-law

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.
