The Sister I've Always Wanted

You’re not only my sister-in-law, but my best friend.

The Sister I've Always Wanted
Zoe Neilson

Ever since I was little, I've always wanted a sister. Someone who could teach me about how to do my makeup, talk boys and go shopping with. I’ve always wanted a “girl’s opinion” and someone to tell me I’m not crazy; even if I am. A sister that had my back and someone to always be there for me. Well, I’m the luckiest person alive, because I got her.

You came into my life at the perfect time. I needed a friend, and even though I may not have liked you at first, I know that I love you now. Not only did you bring light and joy into my life, but into my family’s life, and my brother’s. For in the years to come, I needed you more than ever. I needed my sister.

After all that had happened and every last word that was spoken, you stayed by my side. You protected me and lifted me up because honestly, you were the only one I’d listen to. You are amazingly kind and your empathetic heart made you so easy to relate to and rely on for comfort. You got me through some of my darker days, and now have helped make me into the person I am today. Thank you, for being the positive role-model and optimistic driving force in my life.

The biggest thing you gave me was the concept of sisterhood. Through your devotion to me and your love of your sorority. It showed me what it meant to not only be a friend but a sister. You showed me the importance of sticking to things, and not giving up. Even when things were hard, you showed courage and perseverance.

Now, after over more than a decade, you are still the best sister I could have ever asked for. Though we aren’t blood, we are family, and that means more to me than anything. You’re not only my sister-in-law but my best friend. I always know that I’ll be able to lean on you to weather any storm.

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.
