A letter to my sister

Dear sister,

I love you so much!! I don't tell you nearly enough how much your presence has changed my life. Whenever mom tells me about how I reacted to your birth I laugh because it was a child-like reaction because I had nothing to be jealous about. You are a beautiful creature inside and out and you have so much to offer the world. You are the friend for any friend in need. I guess you have practice with that since you always come to your sisters rescue.

You have a super bright future ahead of you and I know that for a fact. I still remember watching you walk down the stage in your cap and gown with your gold cord, and silver cord for being in National Honor Society. I was so proud of you and every way possible. In that moment I knew nothing could ever stop you because you were ambitious and driven. I knew the world had to make room for you because you demanded it and deserve it in every way possible.

I know you will always face calamities/adversities. There will always be people who do not want to see you succeed. People who will push you down and step on your head for whatever reason. I want you to know when the going gets tough, you are never alone. Your big sister who you may not always like is here for you even if you do not want her to be. I will put anyone who tries messing with you and makes you feel less than in their place without doubt. I will be there when you need a friend and you just cannot be strong anymore. I will be there when you need someone to just listen without saying a single word (I will try my hardest not to say a single word and you know how hard that is for me). When you simply need someone who was there since day 1, I will be there in a jiffy.

Your friends love your bold personality and your loud mouth. Your friends say you are the one to always jump in and defend them. There are a few friends that I do not think deserve you. Remember you need friends who understand that you are a shining star, do not befriend people who will dim your stars. Make sure to sometimes put yourself first because you need to take care of you first and forth most. Learn to defend YOU first and find friends who will do the same.

All I want for you is happiness and success. You make me a proud big sister. I cannot wait to see all your life accomplishments. I cannot wait to see how you change the world with your own special way. You truly are something special and unique. I feel like the luckiest sister to have been gifted with such an amazing individual. I thank God everyday for the gift that is YOU! Remember to never change because you are wonderfully you.

Sincerely, Big Sister

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

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.
