Having older siblings is both a blessing and a curse. It's more of a blessing than a curse the majority of time. I love my siblings even though they like to test my patience sometimes. I wouldn't want it any other way and with that being said I have a few things to thank them for.

1. Thank you for letting me be the annoying little sister that I know I was.


I know there were plenty of times growing up where I wanted to hang out with you and your friends and I bet it was really irritating. We can't forget the times that I was just plain annoying.

2. Thank you for showing me what not to do.

You were basically the test run. We all do stupid things. Its human nature. Since I'm the youngest I got to see you guys do all the stupid things growing up and learn from them.

3. Thank you for being some of my biggest fans.


Whether it was the one time I played sports or it was coming to my choir concerts you guys are always rooting for me. You guys are always proud of me no matter. From getting an A on a paper to something as easy as a good comeback lol

4. Thank you for loving me always.


No matter if I'm being the annoying little sister or not, I know that deep down you all still love me and would do anything for me. Even after all the arguments and all the times we were angry at each other we knew deep down we still loved each other. With loving me always comes protecting me and I know that y'all would take a bullet for me and I'd do the same for you.

5. Thank you for keeping up with me and keeping me in the loop with things.


With me being away from home, this one becomes more important now more than ever. Whether it's a quick text in our group chat, a phone call, or even a FaceTime it's the small things that make my day. I know sometimes keeping up with each other is hard since all of us are busy but somehow we make it work.

6. Thank you for picking on me while I was growing up.


It's no question when you have older siblings that you constantly get picked on no matter how old you are. Even though I hated you for it back then now I realized it made me stronger. After all, it helped me get a backbone and how not to take other peoples shit.

7. Thank you for teaching me some of the most valuable lessons in life.


From following my heart to how simple it is to have a good time. Sometimes all it takes is a frosting fight and some funny youtube.

8. Thank you for being a friend.


You were some of my first friends and I know that kinda sounds stupid after I talked about how I annoyed you all the time. Even know that were all grown up somehow you both always have a knack for knowing when I need you the most. Whether its a getaway from home or just someone to talk to.

9. Thank you for making me who I am today.


I know that our parents are apart of this too but if it weren't for you guys I know I wouldn't be the person I am today.

Love you guys and stay weird

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.
