Dear Younger Brother,

The biggest blessing I have been given in my life was the gift of being your older sister. From the moment you were born, you became my best friend.

To say I am proud of you would be an understatement. You never fail to impress me with your talent and maturity. I am amazed by the amount you have accomplished and I am honored to have been a witness of your success.

The hardest thing is watching you grow up, but you are growing into a phenomenal young man. You have the kindest heart and treat everyone with an enormous amount of respect. You are extremely intelligent and driven and I know your future holds so many opportunities for you.

Thank you for making me laugh and smile whenever I'm sad and for being the most supportive little brother in the world. You make every day better than the next and you always keep a smile on my face.

There is nothing I love more than watching you grow in your faith and utilize God's gifts to benefit the well being of others. I beam with pride every time I hear someone say how genuine of a young man you are.

I will forever picture you as my baby brother and in my mind, you will never grow up. But, I know that is not reality, so I pray that God blesses you with the most amazing future.

As much as I want you to find a wonderful girl to steal your heart, I will always be protective. She better not break your heart or she will have to deal with me.

I cannot wait to see all that you accomplish in your life and I will forever be by your side. I will be there for the laughter, tears, heartbreaks and triumphs. Together, brother and sister, it will forever be us against the world. You are my partner in crime and my best friend.

I love you forever,

Your Big Sister

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.
