An Open Letter For My Sister

What would the world be without you?

What would I do without you? When I was little I would’ve never thought we would be as close as we are today. My younger self would’ve never believed me if I were to go back and tell her. Now in 2017, you are the most important person in my life; the person I run to for advice on problems I have.

I remember when we used to live at our old house back in Milton, you would always take care of me when mom or dad were at work. I would always seem to do the most stupid things anyone could ever think of! I remember the time where I almost choked on that quarter and you came in and saved me. Or the times where we would go to parties and I was always with you because I was so shy. I always remember when I started school, you came on the bus with me so I wouldn't get lost because we have just moved to our new home. Then that one time in the new house where I was climbing on the tall dresser and it fell on top of me. You and Daniel came running into the room and helped me out. Yeah, I was a pretty dumb kid growing up.

When you first went to SDSU for college and Daniel went to St. Cloud, I was heartbroken. It was only me and my parents at home and things tend to get a bit boring at home with no one to talk to. We would often text each other, but not very much as you were busy with school. When you returned from school for the weekends and holidays it was fun having you guys around again. I wouldn't admit to anyone at the time, but I missed you guys a lot. Especially you.

As we have gotten older we have gotten closer together than before and have made amazing memories. My freshman year of high school was not the best year for me, but you helped me through it. I love that we like some of the same things. Like watching the Vampire Diaries, The Originals and talk about makeup. We always have something to talk about and it is never is it a boring day with you.

Now I am a Senior in High School and it's almost time for graduation. I am writing to this for you. I wanted to say thank you; thank you so much for everything you have done for me. Thanks for taking care of me, giving me advice and being there when I needed you there. I love you so much and no one will ever replace you in this world.

Sincerely, your baby 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.
