Dear NYC

I've loved you for many years and for many different reasons. From Times Square to Broadway, you have something for everyone.

I first got a glimpse of you every New Year's Eve when I watched the Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year special. That was one of the first glimpses I had of all the life that happens in the center of Times Square. The idea of being there to see the ball drop has always amazed me and one day I'll get to see it in person.

I can't forget all the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parades that I have religiously watched every year. These gave New York a completely different look from the New Years Eve special. I finally got to see glimpses of Broadway shows for the first time and I always dreamed of seeing one.

Fast forward a few years and I finally get to go see this amazing city in person for the first time. Let me tell ya I fell even more in love with this city. From the beautiful portion of Central Park that we saw to the amazing Broadway show "Aladdin," we tried to fit as much as we could in a three-day span as we could.


I wish we had gotten more time to explore the city and see what it has to offer. Those three days we spent there weren't enough. There are so many things that I see including the Met Steps and the 9/11 Memorial.

With that being said, you definitely haven't seen the last of me.

XOXO

Katie

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.
