To My Cousin Who Is Practically A Sister

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. - Desmond Tutu

To My Cousin Who Is Practically A Sister
Morgan Silver

You are so many things to me: a best friend, a sister and a blessing.

Growing up with you was always an adventure. We were always doing something whenever we were finally reunited. On Thanksgiving we would go around and tell people where to sit at the dinner table. On Christmas Eve we would sit together and guess what we were getting for Christmas. If we weren't doing any of that then we would be sitting on one of the beds playing board games or card games. Either way we were together and always doing something.

When we got older I knew I found a person I could count on forever.

You have always been there for me, and I mean ALWAYS. If I need a shoulder to cry on I knew you would be there. If I needed a girls night you were always down. If I needed to vent to you, you would always pick up the phone and listen to me rant for hours. You listened to all of my crazy harebrained ideas that always land us into trouble.

We are practically like Lucy and Ethel. Wherever we are as long as we are together we can always have a good time. Whether we are in Walmart at 12 in the morning getting cookie dough and pizza to eat, or whether we are just in my car just cruising around listening to music we are always having the time of our lives.

I don't tell you this as often as I should, but thank you! Thank you for always being there for me, thank you for listening to my secrets, thank you for picking my up when I'm down (physically), thank you for always being willing to hang out and go shopping with me, thank you for always being ready for a scary movie marathon, thank you for letting me whine and complain over the same thing for hours, thank you for always accepting me and loving me, thank you for never being embarrassed of me. Mostly and most importantly, thank you for being my cousin, best friend and a sister.

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.
