An Open Letter To My Sister

I know life has got you down right now, but I need you to hear this.

An Open Letter To My Sister
Jessica Heady

Right now, I know you are sad, and that is okay. One day, you won't even remember why, but until that day comes, I want you to remember a few things.

You are so incredibly smart! You study harder than anyone I know and you do so well in school. It makes me want to be a better student.

When I see you write out a plan on how and when you will study, I am in such amazement that someone can be so organized on how they manage their homework.

I just procrastinate until it's one in the morning and then I am too tired to study, but I study anyway while having a mental breakdown. But your organization skills are why you are so smart. You know exactly how to manage your time to be the best student you can be.

You are also one of the nicest people I know. You care so much for everyone. When you see something in a store and you think someone would like it, you buy it for them without hesitation. You just want to make sure people are happy.

Especially the child you babysit. You go above and beyond for that little girl, it is like she is your own child. You make sure that her mornings before school are fun all the time. You make her so happy. You make everyone so happy.

Lastly, you are just so calm. I do not know how you do this. I am very jealous of this quality. When things go wrong, you are very "go with the flow" and I go in panic mode.

We may be twins, but we are very different, and I love you for that. You balance me out when I feel completely insane.

A lot of the time, I am the one who is feeling blue, and you are always there for me. So, I want to let you know that I am here for you. Things will work out. You have the brightest future ahead of you.

I love you, 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.
