5 Things My Older Sister Needs to Know
Jenny Foutz

Let's be real.....you're a real pain in my butt! I love you more than life itself but sometimes you drive me up a wall. We butt heads because we are opposites; that will never change. Now that I have that out of the way, I also want you to know that you are one of my favorite people ever, you are my older sister! In a crazy world that is going to try and knock you down, I want you know these five things:

1. You are beautiful.

Please don't ever let the world convince you that you are not. People will try and tell you otherwise, but I am here to tell you that you are beautiful. If you believed that as much as I do you could conquer any room you walk into. You have outer beauty but you also have inner beauty, and I think that means more than anything. Your spirit is beautiful and I hope you never let anyone take that from you.

2. You are smart.

You have always been the "smart one" out of the two of us. You still amaze me because you always seem to know everything about everything. You retain information so well and always blow people away because you usually are smarter than then. Again, I hope you never let people convince you that you are dumb -- you are anything but that.

3. No matter what, I will always be your biggest supporter.

We fight over almost everything and you drive me crazy but even during those times I will always be your #1 supporter. No matter what you decide to do with your life I will always be here for you. I don't always show it because honestly, I don't really know how, but I promise I will always be there for you.

4. Never let the world put out your fire.

The world can be such a negative and mean place; please don't ever let that bring you down. I truly believe that you could do anything you set your mind to, you could totally run this country if you wanted. But if you let the world put out your fire people will never see how truly amazing you are.

5. You are stronger than you will ever know.

I have known you my whole life (DUH), and even though both of us never want to admit it, I know you better than anyone. I know that you are so much stronger than you will ever give yourself credit for. Please never doubt your strength and what you can do.


We are complete opposites, we fight about everything, and let's be real we don't look anything alike. We have different views on the world and different views on right and wrong. We didn't choose the same life paths nor did we make the same life changing decisions. With all of that said I can truly say my life would not be the same without you. You have helped shape me into the crazy person I am today. Without your sweet soul I wouldn't be me. Love you lots big 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.
