My Built In Best Friend

How a sister bond is supposed to be.

Do you have a sister?

Is she pretty much a reflection of you?

Do people ask if you two are twins constantly?

Do you sometimes say yes for the fun of it?

We do.

My sister and I look a lot alike. Being best friends, we do everything together. We brush our teeth together. We straighten our hair together. We shop together. We even share a room together. My sister and I are inseparable. We always have been. Even if you look at our baby pictures, we're always together.

Since we were little, everyone thought we were twins. And they still do. Everywhere we go they ask if there is an age difference and honestly, sometimes we have a little fun. We always ask them their opinion. As they get nervous and switch their answer a bunch of times, my sister and I are laughing. We get a kick out of their confusion because it is really difficult to see the age difference. As the answers may vary, it is entertaining to listen.

Shopping with a sister, or as she could be called, your best friend, can take hours upon hours. Even though you both MUST look in the same stores, you always look for two different styles; classified as the same but different. It's okay if you don't understand. I'll try to explain...we both may like the same shirt but only one of us will actually end up buying it and wearing it. Either way, the same style or different, it's great when you know what each other likes so one sister can take one half of the store while the other takes the other half.

A key trait when having a sister is honesty. You are not looked at weird if you give your honest opinion because that is what she looks for. For example, she is not afraid to tell you if that shirt looks bad, if those pants you love don't shape you right, if that headband is way too big for your head, if she can dress you because you're doing it all wrong, she'll tell you. It doesn't matter if you have the cutest top in the world on. If she doesn't like it, she'll tell you.

Asking your sister's opinion means the world to you and vice-versa. You ask each other for opinions on everything, including boys. If you both cannot agree, it won't happen.

Because if one sister doesn't approve...it's the end of the world. But don't worry sisters are always closer than any relationship anyway. If anyone comes in between a sister bond, they are so gone. A sister bond is a true bond from birth that can be only expressed through sister love. It is unbreakable.

Sisters come first. It's one of the best known unwritten rules out there. She is your ultimate, already built in, best friend. She is family. And I wouldn't want it any other way.

Love you best friend.

Keep smiling.

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.
