An Open Letter To My Siblings

To my crazy, wonderful, obnoxious siblings,

Growing up as the oldest sibling, I think I can speak for most in saying sometimes I took my siblings for granted. Always knowing I would have to someone to play with me, watch movies or just explore around the neighborhood. But reflecting back, I owe majority of my childhood memories to you guys. From our annual summer lemonade stands, our fashion shows or just playing pretend, there was never a dull moment in our household.

I got the best of both worlds getting both brothers and a sister. Now this two against two dynamic became quite fun when disputing or trying to vote on where we were going out to dinner. But in all seriousness, we are the perfect balance. I am blessed to have brothers that have taught me the importance of exploring the outdoors and all the insects we could find. You boys have also taught me just how important loyalty is and that sometimes all drama and overreacting isn’t worth it. And I was also blessed to have a younger sister, who is my little ray of sunshine and sass.You have taught me just how important it is to be a good role model and remember to be carefree and live in the moment.

I’m not gonna lie and say we all didn’t have our fair share of duking it out and arguing over who's sitting next to mom or who got to shower first after a day at the pool. If anything this taught us all some argument skills along the way and how to compromise when no one could get their own way. Or at least that’s how I like to think about it.

Now that I am all growing up and starting my own life, I have a new appreciation for the role you guys have played in my life. I am beyond blessed to have siblings, especially you three. You’re the people that will always and I mean always embarrass me no matter the situation or who’s listening. You’re the people who will adventure around town or just get take out and watch a movie with me. You’re the people that will always support me no matter how dumb my choices are.

You’re the people that are stuck with me for life, and I couldn’t be happier.

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.
