A Thank You Letter To My Aunts From Your Grateful Niece

To my dearest Aunts,

How else can I start this without first thanking you. Thank you for being some of the most supportive, reliable and most kind hearted women I know. Alongside my Mom, you have been such wonderful role models to me. You've been the ones I know I could turn to with questions that maybe I was too embarrassed to ask Mom about. Believe me when I tell you its such a relief knowing that I can come to any one of you when I need advice and I can always count on an honest and helpful answer. Whether the topic be about boys or friends, you guys just seem to know everything.

I must also thank you for always treating me like I was one of your own. Even though you have your handful with my cousins, whenever i'm around I just fit right in. I love being taken to gatherings with your friends, I really love getting dragged to the supermarket, and above all I love being your freelance babysitter (note the sarcasm). But in all seriousness, thank you for letting me crash at your place and eat all of your food whenever I just need a break from my own madhouse.

But out of all, I want to thank you for just being apart of my life. Thank you for always having my back and comforting me whenever I was down. Thank you for always having open ears and an open heart. Thank you for all of the driving lessons and introducing me to your Soap Operas (General Hospital, Days of Our Lives) that I still can't get into but just sitting and watching them with you was fun for me. And of course, thank you for laughing with me, sometimes at me but most of the time with me. In order to deal with me, a good sense of humor is required so I'm fortunate enough to be able to joke and and laugh about the same things.

Being so fortunate to have such amazing Aunts like you, we have made a numerous amount of memories so far. All of the stories you've shared and memories we've made together will forever resonate with me. From our family vacations to the numerous amount of birthday parties and beach days, I really have a lot to be grateful for. Though we are years apart, you guys have always felt like more of best friends than an authority figure to me and for that I have to thank you. So to my Aunts, thank you for being the greatest around.

Love always,

Your grateful niece

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.
