To My Little Sister At Home

To start, I miss you.

It’s crazy that I have been away for three months already. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of you. You are a part of me. When I left for school, I left part of myself with you. No one gets me like you do. You are my family, my blood.

To start, I want to apologize. I know that moving away was so hard for everyone in our family, especially you. I hate that I can no longer be there to hang out with you or laugh with you. I’m sure that it’s also hard to now be the only child. Family is sometimes a lot to handle. Life is different now and maybe it sucks. I am sorry that I can’t be there in the mornings to let you know what outfit I think is cuter or to give you advice. I truly miss you like crazy.

Next, I want to encourage you. You are such a smart, beautiful, and funny person! Though life may be crazy now, you can do it. I can’t believe it’s your senior year of high school already. You have grown up to be such an amazing person. You now have to make your own choices and decisions. Now believe me, when it comes to picking a college and everything that goes with it, there are SO many decisions. Try to not be overwhelmed. Everything will settle down eventually. Soon there will be no more ACTs or SATs. You will be able to see the future clearer and take a breath of fresh air. I am confident in your God-given abilities that you can succeed at whatever you put your mind to. I also want to encourage you to keep pushing hard in school. Don’t give up.

Finally, I want to let you know that my life is so much different without you. It might not always seem that way from all the photos with my new friends I post or how it seems like I am doing great all the time but, sometimes life is terrible without you. No one understands me like you do. It’s sometimes really hard to be away from you. You are my best friend.

Well, even if I am not there physically to be there with you, I am always just a phone call away. I love you so much and am proud of the person you are. Though I miss you so much and this season right now is hard, with time, this distance will get easier. We can learn to make this work and I will get to see you real soon. We can do this sis!

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.
