To My Younger Sisters, I'm Lucky To Have You As My Built-In Best Friends

In This Article:

My sisters are the absolute best. As I've gotten older, I've realized just how lucky I am to have these "built-in" best friends. I love being the oldest and acting as a mentor and friend to both of them.

We really help one another. As I start college in less than a month, I want my sisters to know that just because we'll be a little farther away from one another, the bond that we have won't ever change.

My sisters, I love you with all of my heart. I'm so proud of the people that you are, and all of your accomplishments. Like me, you're both going to be starting a new chapter soon; high school.

Try to enjoy all of your high school years because you'll blink and you'll be at your senior prom wondering how it all went by so fast. But, also remember that your life is just beginning after high school. It's, by no means, the be-all-end-all. Don't take what jealous people say to heart, and know that not everyone is going to have the same heart as you.

Be kind to everyone that you meet because you truly don't know what people are going through in their personal lives. Thank the people who go the extra mile to make your life easier. We often take them for granted.

Know that you are enough one million times over. And, you are loved beyond anything you can imagine. No one can ever take that away from you.

Thank you both for teaching me what being a friend means. Some of my favorite moments are spent with us talking about everything, and nothing at all. I'm looking forward to all of us getting closer in the coming years. Thank you for challenging me to be a better person.

Whenever I'm faced with difficult choices, I try to make the one that I know would make you proud. Because, honestly, I look up to you both just as much as you look up to me.

Most importantly, thank you for letting me be your big sister. Out of all of the things that I'm proud of, being your sister is up at the top of the list.

I love you endlessly.

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.
