A Letter To My Sisters Now That I'm Away

I miss you both.

A Letter To My Sisters Now That I'm Away
Lexi Eaton

Dear Jenna and Caitlyn,

Thank you for being there for me since day one. Every day, you remind me that laughing is the best way to cure anything, and for giving me endless memories to look back on when I miss you both, from playing monster with dad when mom was at work all the way up to going on pointless drives with no destination while listening to throwbacks.

Now that we are growing up and starting our own lives in new places I can't help but miss you both. We don't talk everyday or see each other anymore like we used to but I am so incredibly blessed to have grown up with you two by my side.

Being away from you both has shown me that I need to go shopping because more than half of my wardrobe was made up of clothes that did not belong to me. I can no longer sneak into one of your rooms and take an abundance of clothes to wear for the week, instead I am living off of my own clothes when in reality I'd much rather be wearing yours.

Not only have clothes been an issue but finding someone to binge watch Netflix shows with all day has been a challenge. I have yet come across someone who is willing to dedicate a day maybe even a weekend to finishing a season of Grey's Anatomy, or One Tree Hill. It is truly sad.

One last thing, I can not say how incredibly proud I am to have been able to follow in your footsteps. Jenna, you are one of the most caring people I have ever come across and you will make the best nurse I have ever seen, just keep on giving it your all. Caitlyn, you are a genius. I have never met someone that has so much knowledge and power. You have both taught me many things growing up, and I am forever grateful.

Through all the fights, pulled hair, stealing of clothes and teasing, I couldn't be more thankful for you two being not only my sisters but my best friends as well. I can't wait for the moments in our lives big or small where we get to be there for each other.

I love you both with all my heart and can't wait to see you in a few months.

Love your little sis,

Lexi

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.
