Lauren Weisberger once wrote, "No matter how many years passed or how much responsibility each assumed, they still managed to bicker like bitchy teenagers on a regular basis. In some way, though, each found it comforting; it reminded them how close they really were"
If you had the privilege of being able to grow up with a sister, then what I write will definitely be one of the most relatable things that you'll read. For myself, I was the younger sister. Growing up was a constant struggle to try and become as good as my sister. In many ways you are already like your sister, you probably have some common interests which become a common denominator for you two to bond over.
She will be your role model, and no matter how many dumb things she does through out the course of her lifetime, you will still want to be exactly like her.
Having a 4-year gap like me and my sister had, meant that were a few years that we remained solely sisters; anything more would be way too weird. However, there came a point where being just sisters was overrated, and boring so we upped our relationship to being best friends. Best friends forever; what more could you want with your sister? I certainly know that when you have a sister who doubles as your best friend, there is nothing better.
When you give a girl a sister, they are absolutely guaranteed a best friend for life. A role model, whether you look up to your older sister or your younger sister, each has something to aspire to. A companion that will go along with you on crazy adventures, trips around the world or even just to get food at all hours of the night. Someone to go and confide in when you don't get along with people at school, or to call when you lose a sports game or just when you simply want to talk. Another wardrobe when yours just doesn't do the job. A tutor in a subject you struggle with at school.
Growing up with a sister, you will constantly fight, especially about trivial subject matters such as who gets the remote control or who has shotgun in the car. However, even when you get into bigger fights, it still won't matter because that is your sister forever.
Sisters are for life and I think that we grow up sometimes taking advantage of that because they'll always be there; together forever. However, there comes a time in both of your lives that's not the case. It will be when you're sitting in your college dorm and your sister is somewhere else in the world without you as well. It kind of hits you like a brick then that although you're sisters forever, you might not literally be together forever ... which, in all honesty, is sad.
We are brought up our whole lives with that one person; we grow with that one person. When you give a girl a sister, you give meaning to her life. You give them everything that they'll ever need in life.
There's nothing more that a girl could want than a sister.
