To my built-in best friend,

"Our siblings. They resemble us just enough to make all their differences confusing, and no matter what we choose to make of this, we are cast about them our whole lives long."

Thank you for always believing me in when I had no faith in myself. From the time you came into this world, you put me in a position to become a better version of myself. From forcing you to tag along as a sidekick to all of my shenanigans to watching you walk across the stage, you've shown me the true definition of friendship and love. No matter how tough times may be, you have shown me that you will never waiver.

Thank you for being you above all else. Though you are not the most talkative, you always know how to bring light into any room you enter. The moment you allowed me to hide you in a box full of teddy bears, I knew that you would take part in all of my fun, yet stupid decisions. The memories we have made are the ones that I treasure every day. You are me and I am you. I will always be thankful that God blessed me with a wonderful being like yourself. Though you may be younger, you have taught me more than you could ever know. From your kind soul to your exceptional work ethic, you managed to bring joy in some of my darkest moments.

To my kind-hearted, loving, and wonderful little brother,

Thank you for your unwavering loyalty and all the wonderful years of friendship. I will always be proud of the man you have become and will continue to be with you no matter what life brings us.

Love always,

Your Little 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.
