5 Reasons I Do And Should Appreciate My Sister
Sam Manns

Family is one of the most important things in my life. They are the people I trust the most and who know me the best. We sometimes forget to thank them for all they do for us. I know there is one person especially in my family who I want to give a special shout out to. My wonferful sister.

5. She Always Makes Me Laugh

You constantly make jokes whether through text messages or a regular conversation. They go from simple, ridiculous "Who's there?" to complicated riddles. Sometimes, you even forget the answer which makes me laugh even more. Every time we hang out, you are always smiling to the most random things.

How your newest anime obsession is acting in a manga or the dogs chasing a squirrel in the backyard. Nothing makes you smile more than doing the things you love. When I watch you paint, it's like I'm watching something come to life. As if you're putting a little piece of yourself into each art piece made. Those smiles and jokes make me laugh every time.

4. She Knows All My Secrets

It goes without saying my sister is also my best friend. She is always there to give me a shoulder to cry on. She always listens to me vent or rant about someone who annoys me. After long school days, she asks me if I want to watch my favorite movie. I tell my sister everything because I trust her with all my secrets. The trust is returned as well. We talk to one another about the important things going on, but also the small stuff, too. She asks me how my day went and I know I can give her my honest answer. I love the trust we share.

3. She Keeps Bugging Me

All sisters can become annoying at one point or another. You, my dear sister, are no different. There are days I really want to be left alone, yet you never leave me alone. You are always there for me and keep an eye on me even when I don't know it. You are like a protector, but in disguise. I thank you for that.

2. She Related To Me

Sis, sometimes I wonder how we're are related because we are complete opposites. You're artsy and humorous; whereas, I'm analytical and calm. You're a blonde and I'm a brunette. You're tall and I'm short. How are we related? Joking. I love having you as my sister.

1. Sisters By Birth, Friends By Choice

This one speaks for itself. You are always going to be my sister no matter what. However, I get to call you my friend which is even more special.

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.
