Sisters Are There When You Need Them

Truly the one person I know I can be crazy, goofy self with.

She is the one person on this earth that will always tell me the truth, even if it is not what I want to hear.

My sister, Lindsey, has shown me so much in the past few years that I cannot thank her enough. She is the one person I know I can call at midnight and she will pick up within two rings.

She will sit there and calm me down when I am having a complete and utter mental breakdown and manage to say something that eventually sticks with me, and I will understand why I am feeling the way I am.

I want to thank her for her dedication as a wife, sister, and daughter to my family. I do not think I tell her enough how amazing she is as a person.

My sister is married to a U.S. Naval submariner, my brother-in-law is currently on a three month deployment, where he has limited access to communicate with my sister, which for her totally sucks, but that is the military life.

Now, my sister copes with it in her own way, but I am so glad that she has her own support system to lean on when she needs them. The strength my sister displays is something I can only hope to possess one day as a wife.

I cannot imagine calling anyone else to sit there and crab about my life to, and I know she knows she can always call me and do the same. We are there for one another and I am so lucky to have such an amazing role model of a sister to look up to.

It has sucked that she is 18 hours away from home, and we cannot just go out for a nice glass of wine together, however, I know that she is always a phone call away, and I can count on her no matter the time of day.

My sister is truly the one person I know I can be crazy, goofy self with, we are never afraid to have fun and shake it up a little bit. So, thank you, sissy, for always being my best friend, my support and overall the best sister I could ever ask for. I love ya!

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.
