An Open Letter To My Little Sister, My Double Rainbow

I'll always be your double rainbow.

An Open Letter To My Little Sister, My Double Rainbow
Olivia Sencion

Siblings...you gotta love them. They're the younger or older pain in the butt you're related to and have to live with for at least a few years of your life. I know a lot of people who complain about their siblings; people who say that they always fight with them or never agree with them. When I hear these things, I think, "wow, I really lucked out." Not only is my sister the most amazing person ever, she's also my best friend.

Woah! A sibling, a best friend? That can be a hit or miss, but I'm going to brag and say that my sister's the best. She's one of the people I can most rely on when I'm feeling depressed and need a shoulder to cry on or someone to talk to. She randomly texts me the sweetest messages checking up on me and making sure that school is going OK and I'm OK. I know I can spill my heart and soul to her and she'll hold all my secrets near and dear to her heart.

Being in college, it's hard to be without my best friend every day. When I go back to my dorm, it's hard to not see her there. But we talk all the time and it's great to have someone to vent to and have by my side, even though we're in different states for a majority of the time.

We weren't always like this, though. We had our handful of fights growing up, mostly about silly things, but they could be brutal. We would tattle on each other, like siblings do, call each other stupid, which was a really bad word to call someone back in the day...and not really connect on many levels.

However, all of that changed a few years ago. Something between us clicked and now we're best friends. There's no doubt in my mind that she'll be my maid of honor if I ever get married, and the godmother to one of my kids. I'm so blessed to have such an amazing person in my life to lift me up and be my rock. I'm not sure she knows how much she really means to me, but she truly means the world to me and I'd honestly be lost without her.

Nug, when you said that you were my double rainbow, I want you to know that I'm yours too. I may not always be clearly there, but know I have your back and am always supporting you. You can come to me with anything and I will help you. I will be forever by your side.

I love you, Nug.

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.
