An Open Letter To My Twin
Taylor James

To my twin,

Thank you for being my person. You have been there for me when nobody else was and I am so grateful to have been so lucky to have you. You make me happy, when skies are grey, and you will never know how much I love you. You have been and will always be my womb-mate. We did share a room for the first 17 years of our life. Some might call it too personal, I would have to agree. Though it was difficult, (you sure are messy!!), I wouldn't have it any other way. In a way, you have taught me how to handle a mess, and just deal with it.

Everyone always asks me, "Do you like being a twin?" The answer is simple- no. I'm kidding! Being a twin is the greatest honor. Being YOUR twin is the greatest honor. Having a twin is basically like having a forever friend. No matter what we go through, you will never be able to get rid of me. Sorry not sorry. You know me better than I know myself. When I can't find the right words to say, you can, and I am so appreciative that you are you.

I know that no matter what I go through, I know that I am not alone. I will never have to stand by myself in concert lines, when I am feeling anxious, you are there to hug me, and when I am having a rough night, your comforting words are all need. You accept me for who I am not have never ever made me feel like I don't deserve the things I have. You have always supported me with everything and I have no way to ever thank you for that.

In the end, I would love to thank you. Thank you for all of the silly inside jokes, like spunky mider. Thank you for all of the insane memories we have shared. There is no one else I would want to have a flip flop fight with. Thank you for calling off of work for me when I was too nervous to do it myself. Thank you for having sleepovers with me, just because I wanted to cuddle. You will always be my best friend and I can't wait to see what else we will experience together.

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.
