An Open Letter to my Brothers and Sisters

As I go about doing my own things it can be quick to forget that I have brothers and sisters who are doing there own thing too.

An Open Letter to my Brothers and Sisters
Kenia Ozoria

Things sometimes can be hectic, as each of us move onward with our endeavors. To me, sometimes it feels like since we all are in different places, we forget about each other. It's strange to think that at one time we would all see each other and never really think twice about it. It was a given. We really had no choice but to think of each other because we lived together. Things are different now because we can go days without really speaking. Sometimes thinking about each of you guys, the past, and the future makes me a little somber. The way I deal with it, is just acceptance. I have accepted that each of us are our own entities who are going to start their own lives, have kids, a home, a career. It’ll then be a cycle, but for right now, we are enjoying our youth.

While we are distances apart, our phones really minimize it a lot. I have spoken to all of you in the span of these few weeks, and I absolutely love that. There are so many people around each of us, but to think that we all share a deeper bond makes me feel special. It may sound corny, but having each other really means we are not alone. Thinking about this in an anatomy sense is quite amusing, but we all really came from the same mother. To me, having you guys, is like friends I will have forever, like we have no choice but to love each other. It’s really a commitment that we didn’t sign up for, and honestly I wouldn’t trade it. I mean I’d trade some things, but c’est la vie.

I have become nostalgic for all the individual moments I’ve spent with each of you guys, and the times we all spent together. We have had some great times as a gang, whether it was trips or just sitting around bored at family barbecues. One of the upsides of you guys being my brothers and sisters is that we really didn’t need anyone else to have fun. We are literally a party on our own. It was always great when our cousins came around because then it added another dimension to what we were used to, but we really were fine with each other.

The thing is, no one really tells you that growing up with siblings is going to eventually come to an end. You can observe that your parents have siblings and they are all living with their own kids, but you never think of it until it actually happens. It doesn’t have to, we could all live in one big house and do it all again. This time, it’ll be different since we are all older. That really seems like a viable idea, and if we can do it somewhere sunny I would be more than happy to do it. I am not sure what each of you guys thought this was going to be, but if it's anything it’s my proposal for us to live with each other in a huge house. That, and that I deeply miss each of you and I anticipate the next time we are all together.

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.
