Confessions Of A Younger Sister

Confessions Of A Younger Sister

As a younger sister, there are many things that are sometimes never truly communicated. Maybe it’s because your older sister is louder than you, or maybe there is younger sister code of silence. Either way, a younger sister always admires her older sister, copies her even though it drives her crazy and wishes to one day grow up and be just like her. Not to brag, but I have the best older sister in the world, and I thought it was about time she knew the truth.

Yes, I did borrow that necklace/shirt/ dress.

No matter how old I get, what clothes I pick out, or how far away we live from one another you always have the best clothes. You are always ahead on what is in style and you are the best one to tell me if my outfit goes. I borrow your stuff any time that we are together and even when we are apart. Shopping trips are much easier when I have you by my side then when I am by myself and left to my own devices. You are the Stacy London to my fashion lacking soul.

Majority of the time you’re right.

Although it is a little painful for me to admit, my older sister is always right the majority of the time. Maybe it’s because I have been brainwashed since I was a little kid to believe that, but either way, you always have a solution to anything and an answer to everything. You are straightforward with me whether I like it or not but in the end, I can see that you were right all along.

You give the best advice.

Whether it’s telling me to get up and pull myself together or not to move when a bee is circling nearby, you always share your best advice with me. There has never been a moment when I couldn’t turn to you and know that you would have some sage guidance to share. Sometimes that advice was reassuring and made me feel confident and capable as you talked for hours. Other times it was silent advice as you just listened to me rant and ramble over things that were going on. Either way, you’re my go-to therapist.

You are my best friend/partner in crime/favorite duettist/personal comedian.

You are always there for me. We are linked together forever, so whether you like it or not you will always have a younger sister to help out, call out, and pull out of whatever shenanigan I am apart of. You are my best friend, my ultimate partner in crime, my favorite jam to the radio session duettist and the one person that will always laugh whole heartedly at my jokes and make me laugh harder than anyone else. You have stuck by me through thick and thin since the very beginning- when I gave you the title of big sister.

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.
