Time has since marched on but nothing much has changed, I’m still your baby sister and I can’t imagine life without you.

To My Older Sister From The Baby Of The Family
Jillian Stephen

To my older sister,

Being the youngest kid is not as easy as it looks, I have gone through a lot more then you will ever know. When I was born you loved it because mommy was home from work. Little did you know that the world as you knew it was changing, and not everything was about you. When we got a little older and I was able to play with you, you didn’t share too well. For Christmas, we got the Barbie three-floor dream mansion that you never let me play with you. But that didn’t stop me, for my birthday I got a remote control car for my Barbie so now I had something that was mine, not yours. But then all of a sudden you wanted me to play with you, its like you were using me so you could use my car! But I was little, so I gave into that right away.

Time marched on and we did all these silly things together…well I mean I was the guinea pig, you made do all the things you didn’t want to. Then blamed me for it when it went wrong! As time past by, you were in high school and I in middle school. You were suddenly too cool for me. You came home late, did your homework for hours and never talked to me. It was as if I was an only child since mom and I did everything without you.

Then it was off to college for you; you went to school 6 hours away from home, and now I really felt like an only child. But then that one summer things really changed, you actually wanted to be my friend. Finally, at last I had my sister back and you loved me. You wanted to do things with me and all my dreams finally came true!

A little over a year later, it was my turn to go off to college and what school do I pick? The same school as you. You graduated in the spring and I started in the fall, but that didn’t matter because we still grew closer. You now visit me when you can and that's always an adventure, hanging out with your friends and mine.

Time has since marched on but nothing much has changed, I’m still your baby sister and I can’t imagine life without you.

To all those little sisters out there, your time will come when you and your older sister will become best friends, just you wait and see!

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.
