A Thank You Letter To My Cousins

My life was changed forever the day you entered my life. No one in the world will ever be able to have the same impact on me the way you have influenced me. As we get older and go our separate ways, I know that I will always have a home wherever you are. I want to thank you for being the best part of me and allowing me to be me. With all the highs and the lows-- we were there for each other, making it through together.

Thank you all the memories, laughs, and support throughout my life.

Thank you for sharing a love of bagels with me, and being down for one whenever.

Thank you for loving me when I had those awful bangs.

Thank you for always knowing my Dunkins order. That's a true symbol of love.

Thank you for surprising me on my birthday. It was the greatest gift I could have ever asked for.

Thank you for sharing my love of One Direction(even though everyone makes fun of us).

Thank you for the countless photo shoots, just to get a new picture for Instagram.

Thank you for not judging my "I just woke up" look. I know I'm not flawless like Beyoncé, sorry about that.

Thank you for the constant laughter.

Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on when I needed it most.

Thank you for being my partners in crime.

Thank you for laughing at my dad with me and not with him (for the birds).

Thank you for coming to visit and giving me an excuse to stuff myself with Backroom chicken.

Thank you for supporting me in college.

Thank you for knowing how to make me feel better when I'm down.

Thank you for the hours on FaceTime, not talking about anything but rather just enjoying each other's company.

Thank you making me feel special, wanted, and loved.

Thank you keeping up with my crazy Netflix schedule.

Thank you for being my go-to people at every party.

Thank you for letting me belt out every High School Musical song even though I can't sing. Matter of fact, thank you for quoting all of HSM (1,2, and 3) with me.

Thank you for making everyday with you an unique adventure.


You make me complete,

I am thankful everyday to not only call you my cousins, but my best friends. They say that your cousins are your first friends, but you're 'my people' for life. From womb to tomb, it's us against the world. We're bonded by blood, siblings at heart, and friends by choice. God knew one mother couldn't handle all three of us together, so he had to split us up. I'm just very lucky that he still chose for us to be one in the same.

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.
