An Open Letter To My Sister
Days of the Year

To my sister,

It is weird to say that I have a sister, since I grew up without one. We officially met in December 2015, and it was the scariest moment of my life. We then spent the weekend together in February. That weekend was one of the best times in my life. We spent almost all our time together that weekend. We got to learn more about each other having a good time.

We grew up separate and did not really know about each other. We never got to all that sisterly stuff that happens when you grow up together. I lived in several different states while you lived in one. I never had to share my toys, but I kind of wish that had happened. I never had to share my clothes and never had to share a room.


I have always wanted a sister, but instead I got two brothers. Once we met, we started growing a bond that can't be broken. We are sisters and I love you. There are several things I want to tell you, and it's better late than never.

One thing that I want to tell you is that I would do anything for you. I know it's hard to think about, since I am far away, but if something happened, I would be right there for you. I am always up to talking and hearing about anything going on in your life.

I want you to know that you are protected. If someone ever does anything wrong by you, I'd be right there to beat them up and make sure you are alright. I am just one phone call away.

We have not known each other long, but you are already becoming one of my best friends. Every time we talk or are together we have a good time. We share laughs and tears together. You can tell me anything and I will not judge you. I will keep your secrets and I know you will do the same for me.

The last thing I want you to know is that I love you! I do not say it very much, but I do love you.

Love,

Your Sister

"Sister. She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child.” ― Barbara Alpert

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.
