A Letter To My Older Sisters

God may have given me sisters, but I am lucky enough to call you my best friends.

Goofballs,

Well I guess it was only a matter of time huh? You guys have literally been by my side for all of my life and there has never been a time that you have left me in a time of need. I guess this is quite over due, but better late than never...right? So this is for you, my best friends, my role models, my heroes, my sisters.

When we were little you would always play pranks on me. You would put Halloween masks on my alarm clock, or wear them around to scare me. You would essentially make me scared of the dark without knowing it. You used me as a little servant. You told me “ I’ll give you a dollar if you….” and by now I think you owe me over $50, but that’s besides the point. You taught me how to play soccer and softball, I looked up to you guys for everything and wanted to be just like you.

You two helped me grow up, yes our relationship wasn’t always sunshine and roses and we got into a lot of fights but being able to watch you grow and mature only made me want to do the same. Seeing the way you handled situations so flawlessly and going the extra mile for someone you love showed me that I had the best role models in the world. You never let me believe I wasn’t worth someone’s time or that I would never be enough because you were always there when something went wrong.

Through the past 19 years of my life, it is safe to say I have seen some pretty dark days. No matter how dark and gloomy I may have been, I know I have you guys to help me push through and do things for myself. You have taught me that there is no way to describe the feeling of love you get from a sister. You can’t explain all the stupid and goofy moments we have shared along with all the times we have ranted about mom or the dumb stories from the LIRR that day.

You guys have helped shape me into who I am today and I cannot thank you enough for that. All our fights now seem pointless, and every time we got mad or annoyed is irrelevant. Being able to grow up looking to both of you for guidance and advice is all I could ever ask for, but I’m glad I ask for more. I’m lucky that I was given two older sisters, but I am beyond grateful I have two best friends. I love you more than you will ever know!

All my love,

Your Baby 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.
