A Letter To My Baby Sister

I can't believe that you're really here.

A Letter To My Baby Sister
Taylor Contarino

To my little sister,

You haven't even said 'da-da' yet, but I can't wait for you to say your first word. More so, I can't wait for us to be able to have sister-sister conversations. I can't wait to hear all about your first crush, first kiss, first report card, sport, best friend, school dance, car, etc. I always have your back. It's a ride or die type thing. When you need me, I'll be here, whether it be if i'm upstairs in my room, driving, at a sporting event, or even away at college all the way across the country.

I love you more than you will ever know. I don't mind waking up at 6 am for finals week at high school after holding you for an hour or so until midnight last night. It's totally worth it for these precious sister bonding moments. Because I don't know where I will be in a couple years- so I enjoy these moments while I can and I don't take them for granted.

I love the fact that everyone comes to see you, and that they love the heck out of you. You deserve to be cuddled up in a bundle of love. I love running your Instagram account- even though everyone knows that you did not take that selfie, and you did not post up those emojis...

I love picking your outfits even though I know they are probably gonna be peed on or eaten on in a couple of hours. I love the fact that you're pretty much my real-life Barbie Doll. Tutus and princess crowns? You don't even mind- well, maybe because you're sleeping like 95% of the time.

I love the fact that you're slowly growing up and becoming "human" before my very own eyes. At first, I just didn't even see you as a tiny human. I saw you as a little baby who probably wouldn't even recognize me until she turned like 2 or 3. But you seriously already have a personality. You do little things that make me realize you are a human. I love when you smile!

I hate when you cry. It makes me sad and I just can never figure out what you're thinking. Like, did I do something wrong? Or do you just want a bottle? The world and myself may never know.

Everything I do from now on will be for you. I want to make sure that I am an awesome role model for you, and teach you how to live the best, most successful, happiest life ever.

I want to inspire you to 'live your best life.' I want you to live with no regrets, have a great time in everything that you do, and spend as much time as possible laughing and being happy, surrounded by people who make you feel loved, wanted, and beautiful. I love you so much and I cannot wait to see everything that you accomplish in your life. Always remember that you are a beautiful, independent, strong, stunning, loved, and wanted woman. I love you forever, whether I'm a mile away or 5,000.

Love always,

Your big sister

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.

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.
