An Open Letter To My Sisters

I may be the oldest, but you are not far behind me.

An Open Letter To My Sisters

I may be the oldest out of us three, but you two are not much younger than me. I was too young to remember Mom telling me that she was having twins but I remember when we were young. We may fight but I'll never forget our memories.

Dear Sisters,

It took us all three a long time before we actually became friends, but I knew we were deep down. I guess we didn't want to admit it. I always knew our personalities were completely different from another, but we could still talk and do things together.

We actually became friends when we had to move far away. We felt like we had no one else in the time of our sadness. I'll never forget all of our movie dates we had when I received my first car. I remember when you two thought I did not want to stand up to you two but I honestly was – I just didn't make a huge deal on it so you two didn't know.

I was never the smartest in school, but to the principals I was-- but most of them did not know what you two were capable of. I believe school wasn't the best for me and school was even worse for you two.

Now you are seniors. I hope school is at ease and you can go on to college for your dreams like I am. I always thought you two were bigger dreamers than me but simply never knew it. Just because I know where I want to be in life and you may not right now does not mean you are not dreamers.

I remember when I had to leave for college after another move. At this point, maybe our friendship was still there, but with school we barely spoke and for that I am sorry. I have a lot on my plate but I know you two did as well. You knew if you needed me to call.

You are both capable of so much in life. Do not quit now while you still have so much time ahead of you. I believe in you two like you always believed in me. I love you guys and I'm always here for you.

Love Always,

Your Big Sis.

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.
