1. They steal your clothes because they look up to you and want to be just like you.

I used to get incredibly upset when one of my sisters would go through my closet while I wasn't home. Then, I realized she just wanted to be like me and that made me incredibly humbled. Take my clothes, girl. You seem to rock them better than I ever could.

2. You get to watch them grow.

You were there for their birth, you were there for all the birthdays, and you get to see the incredible women they are becoming.

3. They like the same TV shows you do.

My sisters have enjoyed watching Bob's Burger's marathons with me and we all laugh at the same jokes.

4. You don't have to parent, you get to be their friend.

When they are upset, you get to be the cool one that takes them to get ice cream before dinner and you don't have to discipline them when they do something wrong.

5. They are not only your friends but your best friends.

My sisters and I share so much together, despite our age difference. They are two of my very best friends and I feel so lucky to have them around.

6. They will do anything for you, as you will for them.

Little sisters will literally do anything to spend time with you and it's the sweetest most loving feeling to know that. Not to mention, when you need to go get your nails done and shop at T.J. Maxx, they are your go-to gals for some "treat yo' self" time.

7. You get to be the cool one in the family.

Since you aren't a parent, you get to be the cool family member. You get to take them to movies, take them shopping, and be the coolest person they know.

8. You know the best presents to get them.

You remember the exact stuff you liked as a kid and now can give the best gifts to your sisters.

9. You get to be in their corner.

No matter what happens I am always there to go kick some 10-year-old butt on the playground if someone hurts their feelings.

10. I don't judge them and they don't judge me.

It doesn't matter what we say or do, our love for each other never lessens. I may give a little signal once in a blue moon when someone's being too sassy, but I'd never judge them for anything. I mean I'm pretty sure I'd help hide a body for my sisters.

11. The support system.

I am my sisters' biggest fans and they are mine. I will be the loudest one cheering in the crowd for anything they do. I will be the person that gets kicked off the golf course at State Finals for screaming when you make the putt. I will be yelling both your names while you walk down the aisle at graduation.

12. You have locked in bridesmaids.

No matter what you do, or whom you marry, you have bridesmaids that will kill it in brides maids dresses and know how to talk you down when you're having a bridezilla moment.

13. They can talk to you about anything.

Their first periods, first crush, 500th girl fight, you can help them through it because one, you aren't mom, and two, you can give them the best advice and they know it.

14. No matter if you fight, you always stick together and make-up.

I've gotten heated once or twice when my favorite sweater went missing, but no matter what my heart is filled with nothing but love for the two best sisters on this planet.

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.
