A Letter To The Sister I Couldn't Live Without

Dear Dork,

To start this off right, I want you to know that I couldn't ask for a crazier, more obnoxious, loud mouth partner in crime. And you have to know that no matter our distance, no one could ever replace you. You've left a mark on my heart since the day you were born (even if I tried to return you) and it was written in the stars that we would forever be joined at the hip even if we didn't know it ourselves.

Although I may not always say directly "I love you," know that those words are always in my actions. When I yell at you to get a coat because it's cold out, when I wake you up early to make sure you finished your homework you forgot to do, when I shove you around and run into you on purpose or when I hold you tight because you've had a hard day and just need a hug even though you don't want one, these are the ways that I tell you. I'm hard on you because I know that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. I'm mean to you so that when you get out there in the real world, you won't be afraid of whatever comes your way. But I show you as much love as I possibly can so you never accept anything less.

You are an amazing person and if I could give you everything, I would. Saying I love you to the moon and back wouldn't be enough to describe how much you mean to me. Besides being my sister, you're my best friend and I couldn't ask for anyone better. You may get on my nerves, but that's your job and you do it well. But as much as I've taught you, you've taught me too. You've taught me to be a fighter even when I don't want to and you've taught me that it's OK to cry. You've taught me that the world is better when you smile but most of all, you've taught me a friendship can last a lifetime. Age is nothing but a number, so our gap in age is irrelevant. What matters is what's in front of us. You've got me and I've got you and that's all that matters. I hope you know I wouldn't trade you for anything in this world because even if I had it, it wouldn't mean a thing if I didn't have you to share it with.

Don't forget these words I share with you because I truly mean them. Love,

Goofball

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
