To My Younger Siblings Back Home

There's so much I can't begin to explain to you guys, especially since I'm not physically around anymore. Hopefully this clears up some things I've left unsaid.

I never wanted to leave you.

Believe me, I know what you're thinking. I up and left to go to school across the country and somehow you're supposed to believe that I never wanted to leave you. But a part of me just needed an adventure that wasn't so close to home. I needed to find myself in ways other than staying in one place and hoping for the best. Every single day that goes by, I wish you could be here with me. I promise, I'll be home for good one day.

Not a day goes by where I don't miss you.

I miss being yelled at for doing nothing, and I even miss getting woken up at 6am on a Saturday because those toys in the next room simply weren't going to play with themselves. No matter what day it is or what kind of conversation I'm having, you always make your way into the things I talk about. From talking about the latest I've heard about what you've said, to why I miss you so much, it's always touched upon.

I'm so proud of you.

Even though I'm now over 1000 miles away from you, I'm still your number one supporter and biggest fan. I still want to hear about all of your successes and failures, because I am your sister and I'm still by your side through every bit of it. I constantly find myself talking about something you've accomplished, whether it be big or small, and I know it's because I just wish I could be there to show you just how proud I am to be your sister.

You're the reason behind everything I do.

Some people want fame, success, money...whatever it may be. Personally, I just want to make you proud and show you that you can do anything you set your mind to. I want to be the reason you reach for the stars and never stop dreaming, because you've pushed me to do that for myself. At the end of the day, I know that I just want to make you proud and help you through whatever path you decide to take in life.

I love you.

1000 miles can't shake the love I have for you. In fact, I'm sure it's made our love stronger. I love you. I'll see you soon.


Love Always,

Your sister

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.
