A Thank You Letter To My Sisters
Kristi Gurule

My beautiful, smart, funny, and sometimes different sisters,

I do not say thank you enough. I should say thank you for answering my phone calls every day, sometimes with the most pointless of conversation topics but just needing someone to talk to. Thank you for loving me when I am in a terrible mood, which is more than you bargained for most of the time. Thank you for being there for the hard stuff, it is easy to celebrate victories and be excited for each others accomplishments, but seriously thank you for your words of encouragement and for sticking around for the messy, life throwing a curve ball events.

Thank you for looking like me, and letting me borrow your clothes. Thank you for bringing me a towel or plucking my eyebrows when I need it. Thank you for telling me I probably should not have posted that on social media, thank you for being my biggest fan.

Thank you for going to target with me at random hours, thank you for always inviting me to family dinners even if I come stag and never with a boy like you hope every time. Thank you for telling me the truth about the people I invest my time in, and understanding that sometimes I have to waste my time to learn a lesson from this. Thank you for having inside jokes and stupid catch phrases. Thank you for taking selfies with me and always smiling when I beg to take a group picture, you all know how much I love pictures. Thank you for having my back when I feel like no one does, thank you for funny group texts on a long day, thank you for sharing your kids with me; being an aunt is my favorite thing to be.

Thank you for letting me crash at your house for days on end when I don't want to go home. Thank you for sticking together when our lives flipped upside down, thank you for never forgetting where you came from. Thank you for giving me someone to look up to and for making me be someone you look up to. Thank you for Christmas mornings and Easter Sundays, thank you for Catholic Girls Camps in the summer and for supporting all of my extra curricular activities.

Thank you for being my best friends, my soul mates, the only people who truly to the core know where I came from.

We fight and bicker, love and comfort, and we support and laugh. Having sister was God's greatest gift, it is a forever best friend and a long time love. I am thankful for each of you strong independent woman, and the love we have between us.

Thank you,

XOXO

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.
