To My Sister Who I Never Thought I Would Get To Meet,

I can't believe it's been a year since we first met. A year full of friendship and laughter. A year just for us.

Growing up, I always knew that I was adopted but I only knew very little about you. All I knew was that I did have a sister that was about 4 years older than me. That was it.

I would always wonder if our mom told you about me or not. I was hoping that one day when I got older that you would want to meet me. Little did I know that you were wanting to meet me too.

You had been searching for me for years and years. You had almost given up your look for me until that day when you got an email from me. We have finally found each other.

Finding you was crazy but meeting in person was crazier.

It seems like just yesterday. We both found out that we were going to the same Post Malone concert.

You were going with your future boyfriend and I was going with my two best friends. I don't know about you but I was so nervous, anxious, excited, and happy all at the same time.

I was kind of a wreck the whole day waiting up until the moment you got there. I remember getting the text saying you were at the concert. I left the crowd to go toward the front to find you.

I remember this next part just like it was like a dramatic movie. I remember looking in the crowd and I couldn't find you. Suddenly we both saw each other. It felt like everyone else was going in slow motion when we looked at each other in our eyes. We ran towards each other. We hugged. We cried. It was the best moment of our lives.

Since then, we have been learning so much about each other. What our favorite foods are. What tv shows we liked. What things we don't like. We have basically have discovered that we like and dislike the same things.

It's kind of freaky. We have talked about how our lives were like growing up. The things we have overcome in life and the things we have experienced. We have gone through birthdays together. We have gone through holidays together. We have gone through breakups together. We have really gone through a lot together.

I'm so happy we have each other now. I can't wait for our weddings. I can't wait for our kids to grow up together. I can't wait for us to get old together. We have one year down and a lifetime to go. I love you sister.

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.
