An Open Letter To My Sisters

Dear older sister,

Thank God for you. Thank you for being my big sister. I don't think I could have made it this far in my life with someone else as my older sister. I know we fight often and don't always get along but that doesn't matter because you are the person with a golden heart in this family despite what everyone else thinks. So I would like to thank you for everything you've done as my big sister. Thank you for being my protector and savior when I was too weak to do it for myself. Thank you for being the experimental child so mom and dad knew what to do when I came along. Thanks for getting in trouble first and showing me what not to do, it's helped me more than you know. Thanks for looking out for me when I needed it, between the extra twenty dollars on top of what our parents gave us to coming home with a shirt you thought I had to have, and even covering for me when I wasn't home on time. Thanks for making most of my plans and happiness possible with your sacrifices and never really asking me to return the favor. I know it's a pain to be my older sister and having to take the heat for things that are really mostly my fault but I can never put into words how grateful I am for it. Because of you, I have become the person I am today.

Now moving on to the other one,

Dear younger sister,

Thank god for you as well. Never did I think that I would love to be an older sister, but here we are. Although sometimes we're both too sassy for the other I could never ask for a better little sister. Thank you for being my snuggle buddy, even when I don't want to snuggle. Thank you for letting me teach you new things, even when you cry and scream at me. Thank you for trusting me enough to talk about your feelings, I know it's hard. Thank you for telling on me every chance you get, not really, but it's your job so I'm happy you do it. Thank you for listening to me when our brother is being a bit of a pain. Thanks for rejecting my outfits and telling me you look better and telling me I have no fashion sense. Thanks for letting me dress you up and do your makeup. Thanks for being the biggest thorn in my side and annoying me every chance you get. I know you're growing up and soon enough I'll miss the times I didn't have ask for a hug and knew exactly where to find you. I know sometimes I can be a little mean or really don't want you on top of me but just know it doesn't mean I wish I had a different little sister. It's also because of you I have become the person I am today.


I love you both so dearly and forever grateful to you both for making me the middle sister. So thank you,

Your favorite Little/Big Sister

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.
