A Letter To My Big As I Get A Little

A Letter To My Big As I Get A Little

Dear Big,

First and foremost, please don't be sad that we are adding onto our family. I know that it may seem awkward. I know you may have felt a slight sense of discomfort when I called you and told you I was taking a little right after you got me as your little, but just know that you are and will always be my best friend.

It's probably pretty difficult to think that one of your Littles would start her family so early, but I know I'm prepared for this because you have taught me. You taught me how to be faithful, patient, and caring. One of my favorite memories since joining this wonderful sorority has been getting you as my Big. You blessed me in so many ways imaginable. I couldn't believe it when I found out you were my Big because you were (and still are) absolutely perfect. I sometimes wonder if I can even be half of the Big you are to me, but like I previously stated, I know I can do this because of the impact you've had on me. You have taught me right from wrong and have prepared me for the future. I can't wait to do that for my own Little.

Also, know that you are one of the biggest role models in my life and I always look up to you. You have and still do inspire me to reach for the stars and fulfill my dreams no matter how complex they may be. You encourage me daily and love me unconditionally, and for that, I cannot thank you enough. You are my biggest fan, my support system, and someone who has genuinely been there for me through literally everything. You truly are the best big sister I ever dreamed of having.

I am blessed to have you as my big sister because I never had one as a child. I will forever appreciate you for showing me the true, honest aspects of a big sister/little sister relationship that I never knew about before joining a sorority. I appreciate your endless amounts of patience, advice, and wisdom which you have given me these past few months. Thank you for simply being you.

I hope you know that just because I decided to add onto our family doesn't mean we aren't going to be able to continue making memories. We will continue to eat lunch together, get ICEEs together, and take random road trips at 10 p.m. You have been here to listen to my many irrelevant rants and so many other important moments when I needed you most. I thank you for being there for me when I needed a laugh, a shoulder to cry on, or a craft idea. The bond that we have will never be broken. I hope you know that this bond will continue to grow and as we continue making our memories we can create memories with my Little as well.

I hope you are excited to be a Grand-Big! Not only have you established a spectacular relationship with me, but now you have the perfect opportunity to create an entirely new relationship with my Little! I know you will be someone she looks up to as well.

Finally, I hope you are just as psyched as I am for our family to grow and flourish with the love we all have for Christ. I love you so much, and I cannot wait to have you by my side when I reveal myself to my little. I love you, Biggie!

Love,

Little

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.
