Growing up my sister and I fought a lot. We fought about who gets to wear the shirt that we both coincidently wanted to wear on the same day. Who gets to sit in the front seat. Who gets to pick what show we watch. Sometimes we would just fight about nothing. When she was bothering me I would start yelling at her and then World War III would break out. Now that we are both older, we haven't fought like that in a while (except when it comes who gets the phone upgrade...when I clearly am supposed to get it). There are so many reasons why I love having a sister.
1. They're always honest
No one is as honest as a sister. They aren't afraid to tell you if the outfit you're wearing looks horrible, or that you look like a hot mess. I ask my sister's advice for everything. Whether I'm buying clothes, trying on outfits, what color to get on my nails, etc, and I know she will give the most honest answer. We aren't afraid to be honest with each other because we know that no matter what we say to each other, we won't get mad.
2. You always have someone to talk to
No matter what time of the day, problem I have, or embarrassing moment I have, I know I can always tell my sister. Even when I'm bored and just want someone to talk to, I know I can always call her. We talk about the most random stuff possible and we could go on for hours..well I could but she hangs up on me or ends the FaceTime once she gets bored with me.
3. They go through the same things as you
Whether it's family drama, friend issues, or whatever it might be, your sister goes through the same things you do. When it comes to family, we go through the same things. Whether it be annoying parents, a family holiday party, they're there with you for it all. We can talk about all this stuff with each other because we go through it together. This is different than talking about it with a friend because your sister was there with you.
4. They're always down for a good time
Bored at a family event? My sister and I always find some way to make it fun. We always look how to make something entertaining for us. We also love to go on random adventures. Whether it's hiking, baking, going to the movies, working out, or even just hanging out and talking, we are always down to have good time with each other. I know that when we're together, we can never be bored.
5. You have a best friend that can never leave you
Having a sister is the best thing. They see you at your worst, best, and everything in between. They've grown up watching you, knowing all your likes, dislikes, favorite things to do, to eat, etc. No one knows you as well as your sister. Even when you hate each other, you love each other. No matter what you do to each other, such as fighting and screaming at the top of your lungs, you know that they'll always be there for you.
Having a sister is the best thing. I couldn't imagine my life without Carly and all the crazy stuff she does. Even though she annoys me sometimes (a lot of the time) I wouldn't trade it for the world.
