Why every big sister is a role model.

A Letter To My Big Sister

My sister has always been there for me. Obviously, she has been there physically since the day I was born, but sisters share this bond that no one will ever understand. Growing up in a divorced household divides a family, but never the eternal love of my sister. My sister is the person I look to with teary eyes, and look for answers within hers. Without her I wouldn’t know where I would be, although she did try to push me out of a doggy door when we were little so I’m not really sure what that was about!

I call her as much as I can, because who knows you better than the person you have known since you were literally born? We share DNA, but that has nothing to do with the fact that we are exactly alike, but also entirely different. We are the perfect mix of each other’s flaws and perfections. I don’t think I have ever loved a person more than I will ever love my sister.

Through thick and thin, my sister has been the person to adventure, buy insane amounts of pizza with, and just overall be myself. So all in all this is a thank you to her. Thank you for buying me coffee when I do not ask for it. Thank you for letting me steal your clothes, and only complaining about it for a few seconds. Thank you for letting me borrow the car, even when it isn’t my turn. Thank you for the random phone calls about what puff ball key chain you need to get for your keys. Thank you for picking me up when I’m at my lowest, and celebrating with me when I am my best. You inspire me every day, and I couldn’t think of a more perfect person to write about when I think about who made me who I am. Being away from you when we are at school is one of the hardest things I have ever had to experience, but it is all worth it when I get to see you again. Thank you for everything, love you always.

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.
