Thank You, Little Sister

Yes, my best friend is 10 years younger than me...

Thank You, Little Sister

Thank you, little sister, for...

...making me smile when my day isn’t going as planned.

Maybe I got a bad grade on my test, or I forgot about homework that was due. No matter what, you make sure I know how to keep smiling even when I'm down.

...showing me not to stress about the little things in life.

You show me there is so much fun to be had in life and great things to look forward to. There is simply no need to stress so much. Plus, there is nothing a spontaneous dance-it-out session can’t cure.


...keeping me youthful.

Showing me that you don’t have to be young to use your imagination and make-believe. This has helped me grow more as a person than you will ever know.


...being my One Direction concert buddy.

Many people think you need to be young to like One Direction. We both know that is a lie. The night of July 26, 2015, was the best night of my life with you by my side. Plus we had a nice view of Harry Styles to look at as well.


...showing me how to be myself. Be brave and bold.

I am so thankful for your craziness. Without it, I would not be able to show that I am just as crazy as you. You stick with your gut and act as YOU want. This is important because many people will try to change you, but DO NOT change. You are perfect the way you are, and you have taught me that same lesson.

...letting me tell people I was forced to watch Disney sing-alongs, even though I was the one who instigated it.

I admit, I may not like to let out the secret that I love Disney movies and Disney sing-along, but I will ALWAYS take an invite to come over and watch one.

...seeing me cry and being the first to comfort me.

I know whenever I am sad, you will be the first one to make sure I am okay. This is my favorite thing about you. Your hugs can cure any kind of sadness. You have the kindest heart and I am forever thankful for that.

...testing my patience.

You are one of the sassiest people I have ever met. I love you for that. You push my buttons 80% of the time, but no matter what, we stick together.

...taking the most ridiculous Snapchats with me.

I may be a little Snapchat-obsessed and you roll with it. You join me in my hilarious triumph of trying to make the funniest faces possible.

...being my best friend.

I would never want a best friend other than my 9-year-old sister.


Carly, I love you to the moon and back.

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.
