Things I Hope My Younger Sister Knows

Dear younger sister,

You've been a pain in my you-know-what for as long as I can remember. You know exactly how to push my buttons. You know exactly the right words to say to get under my skin. But you've also matured a whole lot, and I am starting to appreciate you more as I mature as well. These are some of the things I hope you know...

1. Thank you for annoying me all those years and always making me late; it helped me learn patience.

2. I used to want to strangle you when I saw you with my clothes on, but now I'm glad we're old enough to be able to share wardrobes.

3. I will cherish the times when we would fight and get sent to our rooms, only to be found 30 minutes later in the same room acting like best friends.

4. You aren't that bad to share a room with.

5. You were my first friend.

6. Thank you for always being up for going shopping or going to get fast food.

8. Blood is thicker than water, and you definitely understand that. Thanks for sticking up for me and having my back always.

9. You let me set an example of the person you should become, which ultimately pushed me to be the best person I can be.

10. You're helpful in the sense that whenever I forget something, you usually have an equivalent.

11. Your brutal honesty has saved me from many bad consequences...thank you.

12. When you ask me for advice it makes me feel important.

13. I'm thankful for the times when you've put me in check...like when I was overreacting over a boy or when I thought my new haircut looked terrible.


Overall, I want you to know that I am so thankful that I have a younger sister that will always have my back. I know now that I have a forever-friend who I can always call no matter what the situation is, and I'm glad our rollercoaster of an awkward childhood has reached the plateau of sisterhood.

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.
