To my Opposite Sister

Though we're made with the same genes, we couldn't be more different

To my Opposite Sister
@celine_wright

I'm the youngest sister of two girls, just my sister and me. We're two years apart, but it seems as if we're two worlds apart. Early on, we both realized how different we were in almost every aspect of life. Before grade school, I was very girly, changed my outfit five times in a day and did my hair everyday while she was quite the tomboy, threw on whatever clothes were clean and brushed her hair and called it good. I was always a social butterfly, so I had friends from preschool call me and wanna talk to me all the time while my sister kinda kept more to herself, which is okay!

Primary school rolled around and I joined cheerleading for young kiddos while my sister wanted to ride four wheelers at home. I still cared about my physical appearance and my sister just really couldn't care less about hers. I loved school and learning and my sister went because she had to. Elementary school rolled around a few years later and I grew a little into my tomboy years when I wore basketball shorts and crocs. My sister still wore jeans and t-shirts. I got more into hanging out with friends, while my sister got more into drawing and artsy things. I still loved school and she still didn't care.

Then came middle school and high school. I gradually grew into the person I am today. I started wearing quality clothes and makeup, worked on my academics and did my best in everything I set my mind to in order to succeed. My sister, however, did bare minimum when it came to school; the only thing she had her mind on was to graduate and get out of that hell of a high school. Don't get me wrong, high school wasn't my favorite place to be, but I never resented it. I got along with everyone and built strong relationships between my friends and my teachers because that's what was important to me. My sister has always been and will always be an introvert, and that is still okay!

So, even though my sister and I are different in every piece of life, I don't think I could ever love a human as much as I love her. We would do anything for each other and I know that if I needed her right now, she would already be in her car on her way. She's my rock and I'm her safety blanket and I wouldn't want it any other way. We fought a lot when we were little because we were so different, but now we appreciate each other for their individuality and that is what makes our bond so beautiful and inseparable. They say opposites attract and I now know what that really means.

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.
