Sisters

No matter where life takes us, they will always be there.

Sisters

My sisters are my best friends. Yes, we do have other friends, we don't spend every waking moment together, our personalities are not identical, and we drive each other a little crazy at times, but I wouldn't change the relationship that I have with them for anything.

Growing up, I was closest to my younger sister, since we were only two years apart. Our older sister if four years older than me and six years older than my younger sister, so we didn't become as close as we are until more recently. When we were little, I always wanted to be just like my older sister. In my eyes, she was the most fashionable, the coolest, and the prettiest person I knew. And I would have given anything for the opportunity to hang out with her. My younger sister and I always played together, we always wore matching clothing, we shared a bedroom, and I'd admit, I bossed her around a lot.

Both of my sisters are very dear to my heart, and I love each of them for their many beautiful and unique qualities. Somewhere in between borrowing their clothes and having a confidant, having sisters, and the privilege of sharing life with both of them has brought me far more blessings than I deserve. My sisters are a blessing from God, and I couldn't be more proud and thankful for their lives and the impact that they both have had on me. They both teach me to be a better version of myself, and they do so through their example. They encourage me in my endeavors and seek my encouragement. They bring joy and laughter into my life. They put up with me even when they find me annoying. They inspire me to grow in my relationship with God. They live life and share their lives with me. And they love me.

Now, my older sister is married, I'm in college, and my youngest sister is more than half way done with her high school career. It crazy how we went from being little girls dressing up as if we were characters from Little House on the Prarie, to young adults making plans for our futures and going on adventures.

My sister will forever be my go-to people, and I know that My sisters are my best friends. Yes, we do have other friends, we don't spend every waking moment together, our personalities are not identical, and we drive each other a little crazy at times, but I wouldn't change the relationship that I have with them for anything.

Kendra and Anna, thank you for all that you do, thank you for being godly women, and thank you for experience and memories to last me a lifetime.

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.
