A Letter To my Aunt Flying With The Angels
Cynthia Hamber

Dear Aunt Cynthia,

Even though you've been gone for 2 months, I still think about you everyday. Truthfully it feels weird without you. All I want is to be able to talk to you, and see you. I'm going to Florida soon, and it won't feel the same because you aren't there anymore.

Whenever I let my feelings get the best of me, I remind myself that you're in a much better place. You're no longer in constant pain, and you're no longer suffering. You're truly happy now. You're finally free.

I'm going to be honest, sometimes I can't process you not being here. So, whenever I talk about you I say things like "My Aunt says..." or "My Aunt does...". Forgetting that I need to work things in the past tense...

I constantly wonder how heaven is like. I'm sure you're enjoying it. Are you having fun with the angels? To this day, it still amazes me how strong you were. Behind closed doors you hid your pain and suffering, so we wouldn't worry about you, yet you fought the sickness with everything you had until the very end. You were such a hard worker, and will always be my inspiration.

I will continue to make you proud. Keep watching over us. Thank you for the daily reminders that you are still with me. I will always cherish the memories we have together. I miss you more than words can explain. I love you Aunty!

Love,

Your Niece Aaliyah

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.
