10 Thank You's to My Little Sister

1. Thank you for being my built in best friend.

We may not get along all the time, but you are the one person who has been there for me since the second you were born. I would do anything to protect you and I know you would do the same. I'll never leave you and I'll always have my back.

2. Thank you for the hugs.

These days, now that were older, hugs are few and far between. Each and everyone of them mean more than the world to me. We are safe together.

3. Thank you for never giving up on me.

I can't begin to tell you have many mistakes I've made and how many times I've wanted to be the perfect example for you and failed, but you never turned against me and never got impatient with me. You believe in me and I will always be grateful.

4. Thank you for being sarcastic.

What would a sister be without jokes, giggles, inside jokes, and of course, sarcasm.

5. Thank you for the sleepovers.

Yes, sleepovers with your sister are still sleepovers. Movie nights, gossip, and popcorn. The memories will last a lifetime.

6. Thank you for making family vacations an adventure.

The Disney World Relays through Magic Kingdom and the dolphin swimming in the Bahamas wouldn't have been quite as hilarious and interesting without you right next to my side.

7. Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on.

From the time we were in elementary school to now that I am in college and you're getting ready to finish up high school. Through every loss and gain. The happy and sad tears, it has always been you cry and I cry and as much as it sucks to see you cry, I love that about us.

8. Thank you for being strong.

In our time on this world together we have watch one of our very best friends kill himself. We have watch our grandma suffer from a very severe stroke. We've dealt with boys being stupid and girls being backstabbers. Through every single thing you have been the reason I have got through it. You support me and you love me so much. You are strong in every single way and I love how much you've become independent.

9. Thank you for loving me.

Thank you for loving every inch of me from the beginning. Thank you for listening to my problems without making it a big deal. Thank you for being weird with me and acting weird with me. Thank you for accepting me.

10. Thank you for being you.

The goofiness. The laughs. The tears. The movie nights. The vacations. Every single day I spend with you. Thank you for being the best sister I could've ever been given. You are my best friend. That will never change. Thank you so much for being who you are and never budging for anyone. I love you.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
