The Joys Of Becoming An Aunt

I know my little bundle of joy hasn’t even arrived yet, but I can’t hide the fact of how excited I am. I can’t wait to be there from the time he is born all throughout his life as he is growing up. I know I’ll be the crazy aunt that’s absolutely obsessed with their nephew, but I don’t even care because I love him so much already. I can say even before finding out the gender that I’ve been on Pinterest multiple times searching for cute outfits and little baby gifts. And, yes, for weeks now I have been looking up all the fun things I'm going to make for him and things to play with him for when he gets older.

I'm so ready for this beautiful boy to arrive, that a few months seems way too long and far from now. It’s an overwhelming feeling to already love someone so much who isn’t even born yet. I can’t wait to spoil this little peanut and be able to watch him grow into the wonderful boy that I know he will be. I could not be happier for my brother and sister-in-law to bring baby Carter into our crazy family. He will be loved by so many, but I can guarantee that his auntie will want to be with him every second of the day.

I can’t wait to see how many people’s days he will brighten and how many times his smile will put a smile on so many of our faces. He is a true blessing to all of us and I'm counting down the days until I can hold my nephew in my arms. Anything that this little boy wants, he’s going to get from me, and I'm so excited to be able to do that for him. He has already stolen my heart and he hasn’t even come into this big world yet. I’ll be there to guide him and show him right from wrong, but also have him feel that he can come to me to have fun and always be ready to go on an adventure with. Being an aunt is a constant best friend and support presence in their life for all their years to come.

A few words to my little Carter,

As your aunt I will most importantly love you, spoil you and guide you with whatever you have questions about. Wherever and whatever you need, I can do for you. I love you more than words already. Hurry up and get here so we can snuggle and I can give you a big kiss!

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.
