Having A Sister Is The Best Gift I Have Ever Been Given

Sisters by chance, best friends by choice.

Having A Sister Is The Best Gift I Have Ever Been Given
Kennedy Lane

One of the best things in the world is having a sister. When you have siblings, it is easy to just coexist, but if you make the effort to become friends with your siblings, you will get along better and have a lot more fun.

A sister is an automatic, lifelong best friend.

Without her, I would be a completely different person than I am today. I have someone to share all my secrets with, have inside jokes with and have someone to always give me advice. We have our ups and downs, but in the end, I know that she is always there for me and always has my back.

Having a sister allows for so many fun opportunities growing up. You always have someone that will play Barbies, dress up, tea party, school, and many more fun, girly activities that any little girl can think of. You always have a gymnastics partner, dance partner, and a cheerleader on your team. I hold all of those memories very close to my heart. You will always have someone to turn to in times of need, and someone to tell good news to.

She will always be in your corner and is always there to cheer you on.

Going to school with your sister is like going to school with your best friend. Even if you are not in the same grade, it is always comforting and exciting when you see each other in the hallway. You always have a lunch date and never have to eat alone.

You will have a second wardrobe and can borrow her clothes whenever it is convenient, just be sure to ask her first, or she might get upset. She will be your own personal comedian, she is always there to make you laugh, even when you don’t want to. She will do everything in her power to cheer you up when you are feeling sad. She will laugh with you and she will cry with you.

You will share the best memories together, from family trips, to car karaoke.

She will be there through it all.

Through the uncontrollable laughter to the point of not being able to breathe, to the heartbreak and tears. She will be your best friend and your supporter. Even though there will be times when you do not agree and do not get along, she will still love you with all of her heart. Even when you both get older and move away to go to college, she is only a phone call away and will still be there for you anytime you need her.

I thank my lucky stars every single day for giving me a sister. She is my best friend in the entire world. I had a 50% chance of getting a brother and I am beyond grateful that I didn’t because my life would be completely different. There are so many reasons to be thankful for having a sister, but I am most thankful for having a lifelong best friend.

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.
