When Your Sister Is Your Best Friend

Lucky to be able to not only call you my sister, but also my best friend.

When Your Sister Is Your Best Friend
Mia Griffin

We have had a rocky road growing up, there is no question about that, but we have never turned our backs on each other when times were tough. I would not wish the difficult times we have struggled with in life on my worst enemy. But having you by my side made the really bad times a little easier. I can never thank you enough for not leaving me at my worst.

"Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do they will still be there"

Siblings fight, it's a force of nature. Even though sometimes we may just be "discussing" something and auntie will tell us to stop fighting and we argue with her that we are not. Sometimes we bicker and say things we wish we did not but we always apologize and get over the stupid little fights we do have, I feel like we can never stay mad at each other for long. It does not mean that we care less or do not like each other, I personally think many of our fights have brought us closer in many ways, like begging you not to tell on me when I "accidentally" hit you when were messing around. Just think about all the funny stories we have to tell now. For example vacation at Hampton Beach and hitting you when we woke up and I got grounded. I was so mad, but now we look back at it and laugh because like why did I even do that. I guess we will never know. Haha.

You always listen to me when I tell you to do things... well most of the time. I love how you come to me for advice and confide in me when you need someone to talk to. I may not know it all but I am always happy to share the best advice I can with you.

There have been endless times when you have been there for me and have been my shoulder to cry on. We can relate to many different things, although we have not been through all the same situations together, I still fell like we can understand each other, especially in difficult situations. You always know how to pick me up when I am down and need help. I'm so happy to be able to share so many experiences and memories with you. You have made so many bad times easier, and good times even better.

Honestly, I really do love you and consider you my best friend. We have never left each other and I never plan to leave you. I will always be here waiting for you when you are mad at me and waiting for you to forgive me, and I know you will do the same for me.

Kalei, Never change for anyone and continue to bring smiles and happiness to everyone you meet. I will always be here for you no matter what. I will always listen to you even if you are just rambling on about the cats, we all know they are your favorite. Haha, Sorry there is no way I could leave them out of this. Thank you for being my true best friend. Thank you for the late night talks about important things and pointless things too. Thank you for making me laugh when I am upset, and always knowing the right things to say. Thank you for not letting me forget to be silly sometimes. Thank you for dealing with me even when you are annoyed with me. Thank you for being you, and not changing for anyone, you are your own unique person and I honestly love that about you. Thank you for always reminding me that no one's opinion should matter, and reminding me to always love myself no matter how hard it may be sometimes. I can not thank you enough for all that you have done for me, and I am honestly the luckiest person to be able to not only call you my "little" sister, but also my Best Friend. I love you more than you will ever know, even if I do not always say it, I really do mean it.

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.

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.
