As Your Aunt, This I Promise You
hipwee

Who would have known someone so little could have such a big impact on my life. From the day I found out about you, I knew you were going to be my spoiled little niece or nephew! I didn't know what a life with you would be like, but now I can't imagine it without you.

Every time I see you, you bring the biggest smile to my face. Whether it's just for 5 minutes or a whole day. Playing with your dinosaurs, or having a tea party, it's always a blast with you.

Watching you learn new things, and pick up on different emotions, brings me such joy.

Talking with you always makes me laugh, especially when you make absolutely no sense! Your hugs and kisses are my favorite, even when you have a boo boo lip and are bawling your eyes out, you always tell me you love me.

On the days that I don't get to see you, I love going on Facebook and looking at pictures that your mom uploads. My favorite ones are from Snapchat, using the the puppy filter, you couldn't get any cuter!

I wish you would stop growing up, and getting bigger. I wish I could keep you tiny and innocent your whole life. I want to keep every negative thing away from you. I never want you to experience heartbreak or loneliness. I don't want you to ever feel as if you don't have anyone because you ALWAYS have your Auntie!

You never fail to make me laugh and smile, on days that aren't my best. From doing silly little dances, or coloring me a picture. As you grow up, I can only hope that you always know I'm on your side. I hope I'm never just another grown-up to you. No matter where I'm at, I'm only a phone call away. I wish I could tell you that your life is going to be perfect, and you won't have any struggles, but I can't. I can only tell you that you're one of the strongest people I know. I have no doubt in my mind that you won't flourish in your life. You're going to do such great things in your life!

This I promise to you: I will always listen to you with no judgment, no matter what it is. You will already have me in your corner. I will always be there to cheer you on, whether it be a sporting event, a school performance, or anything you else you need me for! I will be your biggest fan, and most likely the loudest fan in the stands.

It's such an honor being your aunt, and I hope you love me just as much as I love you! You're a light in my life. I promise you, your Auntie always has your back! ❤️

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.
