To My Siblings, AKA 'The Real MVPs'

To my siblings,

I know brothers and sisters are to have this special bond between them, and we definitely all have different ways of showing our love to each other. When I was younger, I thought having older brothers and a sister was the worst thing ever then I got a younger brother and I quickly learned he was the worst! Having older brothers is a plus, now, because you always have someone to talk to about things!

I am going to tell you all a little bit about each of my siblings and why I love them so much!

Jeremy, you are the biggest brother of the group and let me tell you the biggest pain also! We have always had a special relationship since the day you found out I was born, you picked my birthday and everything! You have blessed this family with two beautiful little girls and a very handsome son! For that I am thankful! I love you!

Joe, boy oh boy, where do I even start? We have NEVER seen eye-to-eye, especially when you lived with us! We use to fight a lot, but we have grown up and we get along now! You blessed this family with two very amazing girls! I love you!

Justin, I mean do I really have to say it? You are my favorite brother (no offense, guys). He’s just always there for me when I need someone! I thank you so much for my three beautiful nieces, they bring me so much joy! Thank you so much for everything you do for me! I love you so much!

Jenny, we have never been very close at all, but I like to think we are kind of getting closer! I miss watching all your dance recitals and everything! I want to thank you for blessing this family with the second most handsome little man in the world. I love you!

Colby, you are the baby of us all and you still manage to be the biggest pain in the butt! Honestly, I know we fight a lot and we say things we don’t mean, I don’t know what I would do without you! I love watching you play sports and doing what makes you happy. I am so proud of the young man you are becoming. You might be taller and stronger than me, but I always have your back! I love you!

You all have a very special place in my heart, you all fit into my life in different places! You all are very different to me. I love you all so much, I am one lucky girl to have all of you as my siblings.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.
StableDiffusion

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.
