Growing up as the only girl in my family has definitely had its perks. In some ways, I was very spoiled. I never had hand me downs. I never had to share my clothes. I never had to share a room, and a lot of times, the attention was on me. It wasn't on purpose though, I was the middle child and the only girl, stuck between two brothers!

However, I always wondered what it was like to have a sister. Don't get me wrong, I love my brothers with my whole heart, but I was curious about what having a sister was like. Most of my friends had sisters, and I always felt like I was missing out on that special relationship that sisters had. Did sisters stay up all night talking? Did they do help do each other's hair and makeup? Did sisters give each other advice on boys?

This curiosity and longing for a sister was fulfilled when you came into the picture. When my brother finally introduced you to us, I was beyond excited! It was like I finally got the sister I always wanted. I remember right away that I loved you! I mean how could I not? You had the sweetest personality, and we had so many things in common. I was so grateful that my brother found someone as wonderful as you! In some regards, I am grateful for selfish reasons. I now had a lifelong friend and sister all rolled into one. You took me under your wing and made me feel loved and appreciated as if I was actually one of your siblings.

I want you to know that I look up to you in so many ways.

You're beautiful, intelligent, fashionable, funny, and most of all you have the kindest heart! You are the perfect match for my brother and the perfect "older sister" for me! You are always there for me, and the memories we have made together are timeless. You were with me when I picked out my senior prom dress, you went to my high school graduation, and now I get to be a part of your big day when you walk down the aisle!

When you asked me to be a bridesmaid in your wedding, I was more than just happy, I was overjoyed! I am filled with gratitude that you love me that much to include me in something so important. I am so happy that we are this close, and we have a bond like real sisters do. This is the kind of bond that I have always wanted!

I've enjoyed every ice cream date we've been on, all the movies we've watched together, the trips we've taken, and the countless hours we've spent just talking on the couch. I know these moments truly represent the best parts of having a sister, and I've finally got to experience that with you! I love you. Thank you for being the sister I never had!

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.
