A Letter To My Younger Sisters
Caroline's Camera Roll

To my wonderful younger sisters,

First off, let me say getting to be an older sister is one of the biggest blessings in my life. I may not have taught you how to contour your face or give you good fashion advice, but I can teach you how to use proper lifting form, how to stand up and how to be confrontational about what you believe in. Even though I'm the older sister, it seems like I've learned more from you than you have from me. Like how to be kind and genuine, and how to love something so much, you're willing to go practice it for hours a day. I am continually inspired by your drive. If it's for animals or golf, when you love something, you grab it and make your dreams come true.

Although I know when we were younger, I vividly remember us fighting over who got which Barbie doll, what we should name the baby doll and what game we should play in the pool. I'm glad we have matured and grown past that stage and are best friends. I know no matter how unlady-like or rude we are to each other, we will always have the undeniable bond of sisterhood.

I pray that you find a passion that you truly love and that you continue to be motivated to pursue and achieve those dreams. I will continue to pray for your future husband. I pray he is the godly man that He has created for you. While I pray for him, I also pray that you know that you are the moon, sun and the sky and that no one lets you believe different. I pray for your unborn children, that they become children just like you and I pray you know that you can and should send them to me often.

I am not sure what I did or how I got so blessed to have you as my younger sisters. Life without you two would be unbelievably boring. I wouldn't have someone to make Slurpee runs with or someone to constantly bug, and our house would be way quieter. I still find staying home with you much more enjoyable than going out. The nights of playing board games, going to the dog park or watching the same episode of "Friends" will always be fun, because you guys always find a way to make it that much better.

I know we won't always live in the same house together, or even the same state maybe; but we will always be best friends, and I will always be able to pick up the phone and ask you for anything. I will always be in your corner, and will always stand up for you even when you don't want me to. I am so lucky to have you guys as my sisters, mainly because that means you can never get rid of me.

Love,
Your big 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.
