To My Guardian Angel Up Above
Destiny Brilene Haunss

Have you ever had someone so close to you pass away? And after that tragic moment you just don't know what to do with yourself because that person made such an impact on your life? Well, I have. My grandpa was my best friend. Someone who I went to for everything. Whether it was to wake me up for school or to go to the doctors or just to talk. He was my go to. Losing him hit me badly and it changed my life drastically. I had this bond with him that is hard to understand but him and I could comprehend it perfectly.I think that is why once he passed away I felt there was a gap in my heart but I knew he was still watching over me, as my guardian angel.

I want to thank you for everything. You have had an influence on me that is visible to everyone you knew. I want to thank you for all the hugs and kisses you gave me when I got home from school. You living with us was the best 15 years because I never felt alone because you were always just a room away from me.

It took me a long time to be okay with your passing. I wish you had been there for my sweet sixteen or my prom but I know you saw it all. I had puffy eyes for a long time, but I eventually got used to you being with me in spirit, not physically. It scared me when I thought I forgot what your cologne smelled like, but I remember by getting one of your old NASCAR sweatshirts and I feel at ease again. With the sweatshirt on and your heart shaped earn next to my bed, sleepless nights disappeared.

I hope I am making you proud, that is something I think about every day. I wish we would've had more time together, but God works in mysterious ways. I know I will see you again one day and it will feel like you never left us, but until then I will continue to live life just like you taught me to.

Thank you guardian angel for the many laughs, hugs, and memories. They are something I will hold dear to my heart and things i will cherish and share with my own family. I will always think of you and I may shed a tear time to time but I will always know you are protecting me and watching over me just like you did while you were here with me.

I love you so much Poppa, see you soon.

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.

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.
