A Letter To My Sister From Another Mister

Just because we don’t share blood, doesn’t mean we aren’t sisters.

A Letter To My Sister From Another Mister

To, my better half...my best friend...my sister from another mister,

I cannot truly express to you how much you mean to me because you mean so much more than any words or action can describe.

When you first walked into my life all those years ago, I didn't even think about us becoming friends. We have been in each other's lives now since the second grade and it was only a few years ago we became what we are today.

I think it goes without saying that you have helped me become me in more ways than not. You have always been there to make me laugh when I am sad, or give me the blunt honesty that maybe I didn't want to hear, but needed to.

Kaytlynne, I love you more than I love my ice cream, I love you more than Bucky Barnes, I love you like you were my sister...because let's face it, at this point you are.

I know we may not agree on all the same things, like how Endgame was, indeed, a great movie, but our love for fandoms makes up for it.

Despite going to two different schools, an unfortunate eight hours away, you are still the first person I go to in times of need. Our FaceTime calls were truly what helped get me through my first year of college.

It is summer now and we are both finally home. I cannot wait to watch movies, play badminton, eat ice cream, and laugh at stupid memes.

To my best friend, my better half, my sister...

Thank you for being you and being my friend. There is only one you, and I am oh so happy that I get to call you my friend. I love you to the moon and back.


I wrote this for my good friend, Kaytlynne, who has been in my life since the second grade but only recently became my friend a few years ago when we had drivers training together. I have learned that people we have known most of our lives sometimes don't play an important role until later on.

Even though I did not have the pleasure growing up with her, I am grateful to be growing old with her.

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.
