A Letter To A Faraway Sister

A heartfelt goodbye letter to a sister that moved halfway across the country.

Well. By the time you read this, you will be all unpacked and hopefully on the hunt for a job somewhere out in Denver.

I cannot believe that you actually did it. I had no doubt that you meant what you said 100%, but I just cannot believe that you are halfway across the continent. It will always be hard to fathom for me. A person that I have grown up with for 16 years of my life is officially gone. Now, I will only see you once or twice a year.

We have fought for most of our lives, but that does not change the way that we will forever feel about each other. We still love each other. This love is unconditional. This love can never be broken.

When we were younger, we would always fight over who would ride in the back seat for long car trips. You would usually win because you pulled the seniority card. Now that I look back on those moments, you pulled that car A LOT on both Zachary and I. These car rides always turned into the most memorable adventures ever. Stop and read signs along the highways. Stop and take a picture with the welcome sign of a new state. Stick our hands out and lunge forward to try and outreach the other before screaming "BEAVER" as we cross each state line. These memories will forever be some of my favorites.

The times we spent in a car, just the two of us, was always interesting as well. Sneaking out to Chipotle together and vowing to never tell Mom about it always brought the most fun. The best thing about these car rides together was when "Hey Soul Sister" by Train came on the radio. We would always blast it and sing along. That was our song and it always will be.

I remember when I was younger, I always wanted to hang out in your room. You had a room to yourself and was always playing music and playing with toys. It was like a dream come true to be able to hang out with you. I would always come in and play with your dolls just so I could hang out with you in your room. Zach and I would always be in your room because we both looked up to you.

You were alway there for us. In everything that we did, you were there to support us. Without your support, I do not know what I would have been able to accomplish. You are amazing sister, Rosalie, and I know for a fact that Zach and I will never forget that.

Stay strong. Be yourself.

Denver is ready for you, and you are ready for Denver.

You got this Sis.

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.
