An Open Letter To My Brother Who's Also My Best Friend
Susie Walker

To my older brother,

You are the one I miss the most and there isn’t a day that goes by without having you on my mind. From growing up inseparable to now being 457 miles away from each other. Some days are harder than others knowing that you aren’t just right across the hall. We have always been those weird siblings who have never fought with each other, which I can really thank you for. You have always just wanted the best for me.

You are the person I am most thankful for. You have a way of just making everyone happy and bringing so much positivity into one room. Whenever I am around you, I can’t help but have a smile on my face. You are the person that I can always turn to. You are the one that I can trust with all of my secrets. You have impacted me more than you can ever imagine. Through the good, the bad, and the ugly you are the one who is always there.

I don’t know anyone who has a kinder heart than you do. Knowing that you would drop anything whenever I need you is such a big blessing. I feel so lucky to call you my brother.

You have taught me so much in life. Whether it is school related, any advice you have given me, or just even little things you say while we are talking, I have learned so many different things. I have always considered you the “golden” child and I have always looked up to you.

You are incredibly smart, successful in anything you do, and just all around a good person. I strive to be just like you. You carry yourself with confidence and I have always been jealous of that and I am always wishing that I could be like you. You have saved me on my hardest days, been a shoulder for me to cry on, and you have been standing there with your arms wide open.

You are also the one who I have shared my best laughs and memories with. You protect if I am ever in any danger and you would never let anything bad happen to me.

Thank you for everything you have done for me. You have shaped me into the person that I am today. Thank you for always sharing everything with me, including your friends. I feel like I am the younger sister of about ten older brothers. You all make me feel like the most important person in the world. Thank you for always putting me first.

You will always be the number one person in my life. I know you will always have my back. You are the absolute best and I don’t know how I got so lucky to be able to call you my brother.

You are more than just a brother to me.

You are a role model

You are a hero

You are a teacher

But most importantly, you are my best friend

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.
