Dear Sister

A few things I want my sister to know

Dear Sister

Dear Sis

As I watched you grow I slowly realized how I could never live up to the standards you have set in our family. I spend so much time trying to comprehend how much work you put in to get to where you are today. I constantly thought I would always be the one child in the family that was the disappointment, but day in and day out you always reminded me how I was good enough, and I could do anything I set my mind to. But no matter how old we get I will always look up to you. I love bragging about you to other people, not everybody can say their sister has a double masters in architecture. We’ve been through it all, from sharing a room when we were just little kids in pigtails to working a full time, 40 hours a week job together and all the moments in between. It wasn’t till my senior year in high school where we became not just sisters but best friends. Before that we would fight and argue about the most ridiculous stuff, but that's okay but we wouldn't be as close as we are now without getting all that fighting out of the way.

I want to personally thank you every single thing you have done for me, weather it was giving me advice about everything from boys to school, getting me a job or sneaking me out of the house to go get ice cream when I was grounded. The many memories we’ve made together, from wrestling each other, you trying to teach me a dance that usually lead to me whipping out and you laughing before helping me get up. We are pretty much polar opposites when it comes to personality, but that doesn’t stop us from getting along. You have helped me through my most difficult time thus far through my life. I know it was hard for you to understand just what I was going through because you had never experienced it. The many times I shut the door in or face or told you to shut up. You never stopped asking if I was okay and you never ever gave up on me. Even though I am away at college I will always know you’re just one phone call away. I am so excited for what the future will bring for us. I can’t wait to stand right by your side on your wedding day, even though I believe you will probably we standing next to me on my wedding day first. The days where we sit at a table with our kids telling about our many memories are upon us. Yes, you get on my nervous and you know how to push my button just the right way, but I have never been so honored to call you not only my sister, or best friend but my role model.

Love, Your #1 Fan

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
