A Letter To My Sister

Dear Sister,

Being the little sister is my jam. But being your little sister is a dream. You make the impossible, possible and you give me opportunities of a lifetime. What would life be without someone who would cram me in the bitty baby crib and teaching me how to braid a horse's tail? Lets not forget all those times you told me not to touch your things because if I did, it would blow up. Life would be a lonely one without you because I wouldn’t have my best friend by my side.

We may be seven years apart but nothing is stopping us from being a dynamic duo. You’re one in a million I tell ya, I couldn’t ask for a better sister. Growing up, you have taught me right from wrong, my left and rights, and what to buy when we go shopping (which is everything). You never fail to brighten my day when it’s dark, and you always know the right things to say pick me up when I’m feeling down. You are my rock. Thank you for giving me a shoulder to lean on, and being the best big sister that a girl could ask for.

Maybe it’s a sister thing, or maybe it’s our thing, but you understand me like no other person on this planet. It’s amazing how inspiring you are. You push me to reach my goals and teach me to be nothing but to be an independent, successful women. And I thank you for that. All the good times and the bad times, we are always going to stick together.

I can't wait until the day I stand next to you on your wedding day as your maid of honor. You will the most beautiful bride and I will probably win most emotional maid of honor of the year because I will be such a proud little sister. The man you are about to marry is the luckiest man on this earth to have such a bright, strong, thoughtful women as his bride. And I promise you both, I will be the best auntie ever!

Thank you for showing me the ropes of life, sister. I couldn’t imagine it any other way. You have taught me how to be the person I am today, and I cannot wait to continue to make you proud.

xoxo Ding

P.S. Growing up, I’ve always wanted to be just like you. Look at me now. Nineteen, being responsible, wearing mac lipstick, studying hard, having fun, and always wearing something pink. Just like you. By the way, I wrote this whole thing as you sat right next to me.

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.
