Thank You To My Brother
Britney McGovern

To my brother,

I'm not going to lie, I despised you growing up. You annoyed the shit out of me. You always picked on me, bullied me, and bossed me around. As we got older though, we become a lot closer and I am so thankful for that. You are now my best friend.

1. Thank you for listening to my problems.

When I have no one to talk to, I know I can always turn to you. You will sit there and listen to all of my boy problems and not complain. You will listen to my drama and you will listen to me complain.

2. Thanks for always having my back.

You always have my back no matter what. Even if I am wrong in a situation, you still take my side.

3. Thank you for being over-protective.

Thank you for always telling me to be careful. Thank you for questioning me about what I wore out whether it be about my shorts being too short or my top being too low. Thank you for always questioning me about the boys I date to make sure they are good enough for me.

4. Thank you for the memories.

We literally have some of the craziest memories together. I will cherish them for life.

5. Thank you for teaching me what NOT to do.

I would say that you were a good role model but being truthful, you weren't the best role model growing up. You got into a lot of trouble, but it taught me lessons. I learned not to follow in your footsteps. Thankfully, you are a better person now and you are becoming a wonderful man.

6. Thank you for pushing me to do my best.

You are always there to push me. When it comes to school, you tell me to try my best. You tell me I am smart and will do big things in this world.

7. Thank you for annoying me when we were little.

Even though I hated it when we were little, I am now thankful. It taught me to stand up for myself.

8. Thank you for loving me.

I am not going to lie, I know you think I am a pain in the ass but thank you for loving me anyways.

9. Thank you for being the best big brother.

I am so thankful for you. I am truly blessed to have such a great big brother. You are my best friend, Keller. I could not live without you. Thank you for turning your life around and becoming the man I always knew you would be. I love you more than words can explain!

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.
