There is something so sweet and wonderful about you.

Open Letter To My Little Sister
Shelby Jade Brennecke

Thank you for everything.

You have been the little blessing in my life that I did not know that I needed. You have been there for me like I have been there for you. You are the reason that I want to be a better person because I want you to have someone to look up too.

Your dreams

Nothing makes an older sibling happier than hearing your sibling talk about their dreams. It warms my heart to know that you are going to be doing such wonderful things. I know that the world is going to have to get ready for all that you have to offer it.

Your accomplishments

From the countless hours of having bleacher butt, to sitting through awards ceremonies I would not have traded these hours for anything in the world. You put so much time into all that you do, from the offseason training and the late nights of having my quiz you for a test. You are a lot stronger than people ever will know.

Your big heart

No matter what is going on in your life, you are always there for everyone before yourself. I cannot thank you for always being there for me even when I did not know that I needed to have someone there for me. I cannot thank you enough for your constant caring for everyone, even if they had treated you like crud before.

Your Netflix show

You are always recommending TV shows for me to watch and I cannot thank you enough for all of this. You are always making sure that I have something to watch because after watching Pretty Little Liars I was hooked.

Your snaps

When I was in class and I see that you snapped me I would know that it would be something that would make my day. You are always sending the best snap filters and making jokes to make my day so much better. I love how we snap each other videos of our days and it is a bond that is not ever going to be broken.

Your late night shenanigans

"Let's get ice cream! They close in ten minutes, hurry!" I cannot tell you how many nights we have had these conversations. I know that we are always wanting to get ice cream late at night, especially in the summer, and I cannot thank you enough for being my sweet toothed sister.

Reminding me who I am

Thank you for calling me out on my crap, when I am not acting like myself and being someone who I am not. Thank you for giving me input when I ask for your opinion, no matter how honest it is. You remind me to always reach for the stars and to never settle for less.

Our inside jokes

Thank you for being the jokester that you are. You always know how to make me laugh, and I love how we have inside jokes. I know that mom and dad get annoyed when we make references to our jokes because they do not get them. But hey that is the best thing about having a sister right, the constant inside jokes and making your parents see that you two have an amazing bond.

Being my sister

You are the best blessing that has ever happened to me. You have been there for me since the day I got to hold you for the first time. You have been my best friend since day one, you are my really homie G.

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.
