7 Signs You Have A Big Family
Fotki

Family may very well be the most important part of your life, and if you have more family members than others, then you may be even more lucky. Having a big family may mean that you have twice the amount of love and support that you need. When it comes to family, you don't get to choose who you get, so you're stuck on this ride of life with them, and having even more people to call your family may be the best thing that has happened to you. Here are a few sure telling signs that you have a family larger than the rest.

1. It always seems as if there is a family event going on.


Whether it's someone's birthday or some sort of holiday (even if it's not universally known), your family is celebrating; and boy are those parties huge!

2. You start to wonder if you could be related to your friends/anyone you see.

You have so many cousins that it's hard to keep track; and it seems you always have a friend who knows someone else in your family, because it is just that big. Wait, can I like that guy? Or are we related?


3. You probably have a family member or two close to your age.

Having such a big family, someone was bound to have a baby at the same time your parents did, so you've always had someone to hangout with at those big family parties.


4. Your cousins are more like siblings.

You find yourself wishing your cousins were at every event because you've been close since birth. You both have to endure your crazy family, so you have a lot to talk about and it makes you be just like best friends/siblings.


5. You don't know how many family members you actually have.

Well, I think Uncle Dan has... five kids? No, six. Oh and there's Aunt Sue, yeah she probably has seven kids by now. So we are at about five hundred family members just on Mom's side? That can't be right....


6. If you were in trouble, you'd have plenty of help.

God didn't make those cousins bigger than the others for nothing; they've got your back in any situation, and they know that you have theirs too.


7. You'll always have a place to call home.

It doesn't matter where you are, if you're with family, you're right where you belong; and having a big family makes that home have so much more room.

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.
