A Letter To My Siblings

What I should've said a while ago.

A Letter To My Siblings

Yep, this is to you two.

Well, the first thing I have to say is probably the most obvious but still important and that is that I miss you. I wish I could be at home so I could be with my brother because things are probably quiet. I wish I were there to convince you in person to get off the computer and go outside because you really are on that thing a lot. You are almost done with high school and I hope you pick a major and a college that will push you to do great things.

And I wish I were in California with my older sister because you're graduating college soon and I always have so much fun with you. You don’t even know how influential you are to me. I brag about you to nearly everyone. You inspire me. It’s honestly weird hanging out now because I feel like we were just those 5 and 7-year-olds with our matching pajamas. Instead, now we talk about college and other adult things.

I wanted to thank you guys for everything. You have been there since day one! You have seen me at my lowest moments and have supported me at my highest. I want to thank my brother for being dragged to almost all of my dance shows and being a trooper and I want to thank my sister for giving me advice throughout high school, probably most she didn’t even know she was giving me. You guys are highly under appreciated because there is no one more constant in my life.

But I wish we were closer. We have always preferred to hang out with out with our friends, and that’s okay. But now the three of us aren’t even in the same state anymore. We are only together for holidays and they seem to get shorter every year. I want us to take the trips to visit each other and take millions of photos because we really don’t have that much together. (You know how much I love to Instagram.)

I also wanted to thank you guys for never taking things easy on me. Being a middle child is hard and you two definitely didn’t make it any easier! But it taught me so much! You will spare me no sugar coating when it comes to being honest because you know me too well. You guys taught me how to share, how to dress, how to cope with problems, and even what to say at times. And I want to thank you for always loving me. It wasn’t easy, but it makes it worth it now. I want to take these few moments of all of us together and make the most of it because sooner than we think we will all be on our ways.

Love,

Your 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.
