I remember well the exact moment when I realized I was going to have a sister. The concept that I was no longer going to be alone was something that I did not fully understand… until later in life when I found myself being a part of my sisters’ lives and their lives being a part of mine. Because, let’s be honest - your sisters are a big reason why you are the person you are today. They helped you build your personality and made you stronger through the phases of your life.
I myself have two younger sisters and it’s the best thing in the world! I can’t imagine my life without them now. So I decided to write about the great things only sisters understand!
1. They borrow your clothes, and you borrow theirs.
Yes, you know what I am talking about! You want to wear that pair of jeans with those cute, black heels, but you can’t find them in your closet. You don’t even hesitate to go to your sisters’ rooms to look for your stuff ‘cause you know it was them! It’s bad when they borrow your clothes, but when you need something that they have, you yourself would move Heaven and Earth to get it!
2. Shopping
Oh my gosh, yes!! When it comes to shopping, your sisters know to make the best of it! They know what looks good on you and they would do whatever it takes to get something for you, even if you don’t have the money. Y’all love to help each other with the bags and just laugh and have a great sister shopping day!
3. Late night talks
You know what it is to do homework late at night and hear the knock on your door. Your sisters would come in to “just talk”. Y’all would lay in bed hugging pillows and talking until one of you fell asleep. You know you need at least 7-8 hours of sleep to be awake the next day, but those late night talks with your sisters are so worth it, no matter what.
4. Your confidants
Your sisters are your confidants without a doubt! They keep your secrets and you keep theirs.
5. Your partners in crime
They know how to take madness to the limit. And you’ll do things in front of them that are so crazy that you wouldn’t do even in front of your closest friends.
6. They are always there
They have seen you in your lowest and in your highest moments of life, and they are still there for you.
7. They cover for you
Your sisters are the best in covering for you when it is necessary. Of course that means you owe them one too, but you would cover for them too whatever it takes.
8. When one of us has a car…
…we go crazy. Nothing beats a day out with your sisters! You roll the windows down and sing One Direction or Taylor Swift songs at the top of your lungs.
9. Your best friends
Even though there are fights and disagreements sometimes, you can’t take them out of your “best friend’s list.” They are always at the top of the list and nothing can change that.
10. They are the best cheerleaders
They know exactly what to do and what to say to cheer you up. Sometimes it’s just a joke and other times it’s a long speech. But after that, you feel as if nothing happened!
11. You can’t live without them
You could cry just thinking about something happening to your sisters. You'd do whatever it takes to make sure they are okay because you can’t conceive living your life without them. They bring joy and tears of laughter to your life.
And of course, I cannot end this without dedicating this to my beautiful sisters!
Las amo!
