A Letter To My Sister
Laurel Kearney

Thank you for helping me become who I am today. Now, I know I wasn't that "big brother" you were hoping for but I am your younger sister and I am grateful for that. You were my first best friend and I have always looked up to you and will continue to keep looking up to you.

Now I may have been a pain sometimes. You also may never knew this, but I might have borrowed a few of your shirts just so I could follow your style and be like you. Yes, every younger sibling wanted to be like their older sibling.

Now that we are in your early 20s, you're currently in the UK following your heart, and I have never been so proud to call you my big sister. You are following your dreams and doing what you love. I love watching you grow into the person you are becoming today. You also have found someone who you are going to spend the rest of your life with and I can't wait for that day in May.

Thank you for being a big support in my life, for all those "sister-sister bonding trips". For the car rides, shopping trips, coffee dates, homework time at Starbucks and everything else we have done together. You might not be in the same country, and I will have to face my fear of airplanes to come see you. I am ok with that because I love you.

I love you so much and I will always and forever be your "little sister". Thank you for watching out for me and being there for me. Thank you for encouraging me to become who I am today and slowly getting out of my shell. I love you so much!

Love always,

Your "not so" little sister

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.
