To The Older Sister Who Has Always Been There

Thank you for being an amazing role model for me.

To The Older Sister Who Has Always Been There
Allison Williamson

When I look back on the totality of my life one day, I know I’ll look back and see that my life wouldn’t have been the same without you. Thank you for being a great role model to me all of my life, and for always being there when I needed you in a pinch. Whether it be from advice on what clothes to wear, or a midnight trip to Taco Bell, thank you. This one’s for you.

First off, I just want to say that even though we have had our fair share of arguments, I don’t think that any one argument has ever really gotten between us (but really though, you were probably right in most of those). You’ve always been there for me, and I hope that you can say the same for me. I can’t thank you enough for all of the rides you’ve given me, food you’ve bought me, and just overall good times we have shared together. It means more than I can ever express in one article.

Thank you for always making our days fun. Whether it was a rainy day at home, watching Disney movies, or if it was on vacation to Disney World, you’ve always helped me replace boring situations with fun ones. Through our fun times, you’ve introduced me to so many of the things that I hold dear. From our mutual love of eating unhealthy-food at county fairs (seriously, who else shares the love of funnel cakes more than us?) To our love of all things Halloween (Especially "The Nightmare Before Christmas") you have had a major impact on me, and the way I’ve been raised. We’re two of the same kind of troublemakers (much to mom and dad’s dismay).

In my worst moments, you’ve been there for me. Whether it was a relationship struggle, or whether it was the loss of someone we both held dear, you’ve always had my back, and for that you will have my eternal admiration and respect. I will never forget the things you have done for me, and even though it may not always appear to be such, you are the best sister I could ever ask for. There are so many memories of fun laughs we have together, making light of even the darkest situations. You’re always there for me to bounce my story ideas off of, and to correct me when I’m being an absolute dork. We may not have the most typical relationship because of the amount of years between us, but you have put up with every annoying aspect of me since I was born, and I’ll forever appreciate everything you’ve done for me. You’re my late-night restaurant going, driving around to nowhere loving, adventurous sister, and to me, you’re one of the biggest factors in why I am who I am today.

Thank you.

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.
