To My Sister-In-Law

"A man who treats his woman like a princess is a proof that he has been born and raised in the arms of a queen."

To My Sister-In-Law

Dear Sarah,

The days are becoming limited, and I am getting quite nervous. I know you will take care of Zachary, but I just need you to know a few things as you embark on this new journey with my brother. Zack is fragile. Although 99.9% of the time he is being goofy, that doesn't mean that he doesn't truly care. Be careful what you say, and acknowledge his feelings. Sometimes he acts the way he does as a front, so be cautious when you are speaking about your feelings and be sincere when he talks about his.

Please don't take advantage of him. He has such a big heart, and that can easily be hurt. He would give the shirt off of his back to anyone and I promise that not everyone is willing to do the same in return. He is easily persuaded, but again, do not take advantage of his willingness to give to others.

He is goofy, yes, so sometimes you have to bite your tongue. Do you know how many times I had to bite my tongue or pretend like what he said didn't hurt my feelings? Not too many times because he is so cautious of others and he would never want to hurt anyone. When he is being a pain in the butt, confront him, but don't yell. Zack is always up for suggestions and he likes to make room for improvement, especially for you. Approach him respectfully, and he will do the same to you.

Go on adventures with him. He loves the outdoors and he loves to explore. When he is ready for an adventure, he will let you know and please join him on this journey. I always used to be the one exploring the world, and taking on challenges with him, but now it is your turn and let me tell you something, you are one lucky girl!

I know that this experience can be scary, but just remember, love can be scary. But love conquers all, and you and my brother have nothing to be afraid of. You will continue on this path with each other for eternity. Be sure to love and support each other throughout this journey. Frequently say I love you, and never go to bed fighting. Always give each other a kiss before you leave for your day, and never hold a grudge.

Take care of him for me, and know that every day is a blessing.

Love always,
Your new sister

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.
