14 Reasons To Be Thankful For Your Siblings

Growing up with 3 siblings has been such a blessing. Whether you have younger or older siblings, I can tell you life wouldn’t be the same without them. From family vacations, birthdays, and life events, siblings make your life that much better to experience it with. Here are some reasons why you should be thankful for them.

  1. They’ve always got your back.
  2. They keep life interesting. There is never a dull or silent moment with them around.
  3. They push you to be a better person, everyday.
  4. Even when you make mistakes, they’re always there to help you.
  5. They give the best advice. They know you the best, so they know what’s good for you.
  6. Fighting only makes you closer. Everyone has fights, but with siblings you always make up and become closer after.
  7. If you’re older, you’re blessed with a younger life that you get to live vicariously through.
  8. If you’re younger, you get to learn from your older siblings. They’ve been through everything you have, so be thankful you have them.
  9. They are always down to eat. Sibling feasts are common. You always have someone who will grab lunch or dinner with you.
  10. Conversation. You always have someone to chat it up with. Because they know you so well, it makes the conversation that much better.
  11. Truth. Siblings always tell you when your outfit is bad, your makeup is too much or you smell. They’re always willing to tell you the truth even if it terribly hurts your feelings.
  12. Random shenanigans. You always have someone to do random activities with. And it always ends up for a great story later on.
  13. Vacations. What would trips be without the company of your siblings.
  14. Love. No matter how much you mess up, you’re siblings are always there to love you and help.

All in all, your life wouldn’t be the same without your crazy siblings. Take time to thank them for all they’ve done and remember to be thankful for them and the spark they add to your life.

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.

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.

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.
