A Letter To My Baby Sister Who Isn't So Little Anymore

I remember times when my sister was small. I've also been told stories about us when we were younger. I also remember the years we have spent together. Mostly I remember the annoying and aggravating things she has done. But, I can see her growing up and I know that soon she won't be my "little sister" anymore. As annoyed as I get with her, I realize that we need to take time and enjoy these moments we have together. So, little sister, this one's for you.

I want to thank you for every single thing you have ever done in my entire life. Because of you, I am semi-patient, a problem solver, good with kids, and also used to being bothered. Every attribute I have I can somehow relate back to you. So, thank you for helping me become the person I am today.

Thank you for teaching me how to fix my mistakes, and also how to keep on screaming even when I've lost my voice. Thank you for showing me how to be more gentle with others, and also how to pick the lock to your bedroom door. Thank you for being there with me through everything we have gone through in our young lives, and also the best places to hide the remote. Thank you for sticking up for me, and stealing my personal belonging. Thank you for everything you have done for me, both good and bad.

I can see myself in you the older you grow. I am so glad you are following in my footsteps in some ways, and creating your own path in others. Learn from my mistakes and always know that I am here for you whenever you need me. Know that I am so proud of the things you are accomplishing, and that I can already tell you will be an amazing woman. I love you baby sister!

P.S. Happy 14th birthday to my little sister! I love you!

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.
