A Letter To My Sister

I used to think you never liked me...that you only talked to me because you had to, because we were related, because mom said "be nice to your sister". i used to think because i was the older one that i was supposed to be mean and i was supposed to bother you senseless like they do in tv shows and movies. turns out i was completely wrong.

we have had our bad moments sure, but i don't think there is a single moment i regret with you. how could i? you are so many amazing things wrapped into one tiny body. i have always been jealous...i mean you had the whole blonde hair blue eyed cheerleading life that i never did, how could i not be jealous? but then i realized while we are so close and alike we can also be very different at the same time. lets look at some of those comparisons:

1. your style sense is softie shorts and a t-shirt vs. mine is jeans and a decent top with makeup on

2. you don't spend your money you save vs. i never have money because im always spending it

3. you watch shows like the vampire diaries vs. i watch the office over and over again

4. you are a super organized cleaner vs. i have all my clothes and trash thrown around my room

5. dogs are good with you vs. dogs are not good with me

6. you hate kids vs. i love kids

There are a bunch more of comparisons between us but those are some of the main ones that come up alot. yet through our differences i find we have a strong connection. i know that deep down you might not say it or think it but i know i am the only one you talk to deeply about things, and vice versa. i know you would never judge me or i judge you on things. i have always imagined you as my best friend because i know you will never not be apart of my life, you will go off to California and be spontaneous but we will always be texting and calling and face-timing. I don't expect to not talk to you when i leave for school, i expect you to be pulling up to my dorm room every weekend to hang out (even though that probably wont happen).

Im glad your following your dreams, i have always supported you through it all. from all your football games to your competitions to just your general day to day decisions in life. i will never not support you. how could i not? i mean you have an image in your mind of how you want to live your life and your sticking with it and following that path, not many people do that. i give you so much credit for defending yourself when people tell you "oh you wont make it" "thats a little impossible for someone your age" "where are you gonna live?" "how are you going to have money?" hell if you need money ill give it to you. i want you to be happy and i want you to know that i will do anything to make you happy because that is my goal in life.

i never wanted this letter to be long and filled with memories but just something short and sweet to remind you i am constantly thinking about you and that i am thinking of so many ways i can make you happy myself. i remember when i used to think you never loved me but that all changed when i asked you "just say i love you to me thats all i want to hear" and you said "i shouldn't have to say it for you to know i already do".

that was the best moment of my life.

Love

Hannah, your sister <3

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.
