An Open Letter To The Little Sisters I Never Had

Because I have sisters, I will always have friends.

An Open Letter To The Little Sisters I Never Had
Rebecca Bradley

To the little sisters I never had:

As we met three years ago, I never would've guessed that I would become so close to two co-workers that are three years younger than me. From the start I knew that we would all be friends and that we would carry our relationships no matter where we ended up. Working together has taught me so much about being a "big sister." Having you come into my life is something I will always cherish and hold close to me.

You've taught me to roll with the punches and lighten up. You've taught me how to give advice to someone younger than me, from a perspective I never imagined I could have, and I've learned to put you in your place if need be. I've let you see me at my best and at my worst. Always know that I am here to provide the same love and support you provide me with. I've learned to deal with the sass and sarcasm and how to deal with your difficulty. I watched you grow up and go to two proms, graduate high school and sent you off to college. Always remember who you are and that "mom" will always be here for you. I always wondered what it would be like having a little sister and I get the joy of knowing what it's like to have two of them. Although I may sometimes feel like "mom," always know I will be that "sister" who you can come to with anything.

In the three years I've known you I've grown up and realized how important the both of you are to me in my life. I know that no matter what I can always come to you with any weird story or drama that I have. I can always count on you to tell me that I'm being crazy and knock some sense into me. You've taught me to take a break and go have fun or else I'll go insane.

No matter how many times I tell you two to be careful and smart, I have to tell you to also have fun and enjoy life. I want you to know that I'll always be here for you, like you have been for me. You are two beautiful young women and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you. I will always treasure the time we spend together and the nonsense we get may get into. In the past we have had disagreements, but what relationships don't? I truly see you two as a part of me and who I am today.

Love you to infinity and beyond, little babies.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
