A Thank You Letter To My Big Sister
Jackie Lawton

Hey Big Sis,

I was just sitting here thinking about you and figured I would give you a little shout out. I am not sure if you are aware but you are the person that I look up to most in this world. I know exactly what you are thinking right now, “you barely talk to me and never bond with me when I ask.”

Those things might be true, but just because I am the type of person that keeps everything to myself and likes to do my own thing, does not mean that I do not aspire to be like you some day. Well, I mean, there are certain parts of you I would like to be like, LOL. Your work ethic, the way you believe in love more than anything else in the world, the way you knew what you wanted to be when you grew up ever since you were in middle school. Those qualities are the ones that if I could just steal them from you right now I would.

I will let you keep your over obsession with certain television shows, the way that you get mad at Shonda Rhimes anytime she kills someone off of Greys, the way you cry the second anyone brings up death, and your obsession with getting anyone who is single into a relationship.

As annoying as you can be sometimes I love you for it. I love that you are so curious about my life. I love that you still say goodnight every time I sleep at home even after sharing a bedroom for 21 years. I love that we watch "Grey's Anatomy" together every Thursday when I come home. You make my life better Sis. I honestly cannot imagine what life would be like if I grew up without a sister. I cannot imagine life if I grew up without YOU.

You are my best friend, my future maid of honor, my person. Thank you for supporting me no matter what. Thank you for always having my back, from middle school bullies to boys that hurt my heart now. Thanks for not judging me when I make stupid mistakes in life whether it’s with an outfit choice, me wearing ripped jeans on Easter, or the boy I talk to (let's not mention names here).

Special thanks for paying for food whenever we go out now that you have a job and you know I am completely broke. The biggest thanks I have is for paying for our Netflix account every month and no longer asking for the $4 that I owe you for it. Honestly there really is not a proper way for me to thank you for being the best sister in the world. You exceed any possible expectations a little sister can have of her big sister.

So yeah we argue a lot and I tell you to stop asking me about my life and I ignore all your questions, but that’s just me being an annoying little sister. In all reality I just want you to know that I love you more than anything.

XO, Little 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.

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.
