Why My Brother Is My Best Friend
Jenia Scalzi

“Brothers are like streetlights along the road, they don’t make the distance any shorter but they light up the path and make the walk worthwhile.” – Anonymous

There is a lot that is untold about a brother/sister relationship, what you usually see is the older brother protecting his little sister from boys but it is so much more than that. My brother is my best friend and my partner in crime. There is no one else I would rather have by my side while we were torturing my parents.

Yes, my brother and I fight, usually about the stupidest stuff but that doesn't change the fact that no matter what, we will always have each others back. It's just an unspoken rule with siblings. I regret the amount of times that I told my brother I hated him, because I didn't mean it and when he left for college, it really hit me how much i missed him.

Even though I was counting down the days until he went to college, when we dropped him off, I cried for the 3 hour drive home. I missed him more than I liked to admit. And although he drives me absolutely bananas, I love him.

We do play into the stereotypical brother and sister relationship just a little, I am extremely protective of my brother when it comes to dating, he deserves nothing but the best and if I don't think you're good enough, let's just say you aren't going to enjoy coming over anymore. I'm pretty sure my brother is the same way (or at least I hope he is)! We just want nothing but the best for each other.

Boyfriends and girlfriends come and go, but at the end of the day, there is nothing stronger than a brother sister bond.

I can honestly say that my brother is one of the most inspirational people i've ever met. Through all of his hardships and painful events, he has never failed to come out on top. He inspires me to fight for what I believe in and to stick to my word. He showed me that it's okay to fail sometimes, you just have to pick yourself back up and keep pushing because you'll eventually get where you're going.

Anthony, I'm sorry I don't say this enough, but thank you for everything you have done for me, you changed my life and I can't wait for you to come home.

I love you.

Love,

Jenia.

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.
