When You Give A Girl A Sister
Christina Silies

"I had the greatest friend when I was little and I got to keep her the rest of my life."

When you give a girl a sister, people think it's cute. They will walk around with matching outfits that their parents probably forced them to wear. They will force to go together to run errands with their mom. They will be forced to spend time together, but they will always have a friend.

When you give a girl a sister, you give her a childhood playmate. You give her someone's hair to brush. You give her another bed to sleep in when she has a nightmare. You give her a friend to ride bikes with.

When you give a girl a sister you give her a handful. You give her someone who will push her into walls. You give her someone who will steal her clothes. You give her someone that will tell on her when she is little. You give her someone that she will be forced to share her toys with.

When you give a girl a sister you give her a teammate. You give her someone that will either teach her how to play sports, or someone that will need to be taught. You give her a leader, or someone to be a leader for. You give her someone to bond with. You give her a new life experience.

When you give a girl a sister you give her a support system. You give her a shoulder to cry on when she goes through her first break-up. You give her someone who will stand up for her if anyone ever messes with her. You give her someone who will punch the person who messed with her in the face. You give her a person that will always genuinly care if she is okay. You give her someone that would never stab her in the back. You give her someone that she can always fully trust.

When you give a girl a sister, you give her a best friend. You give her a partner in crime for life. You give her her hardest goodbye when she decides to go away to college. You give her someone who will know all of her secrets. You give her someone that will never judge her. You give her someone who will always understand her. You give her someone who loves her unconditionally.

Your sister is the greatest blessing you will ever have.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
