I'm The Girl Who Is Best Friends With Her Little Sister

I don't know where I would be today if it wasn't for you.

I'm The Girl Who Is Best Friends With Her Little Sister
Savannah Cuti

Whenever I tell people that my best friend is my little sister, I get weird responses. People think it's odd that I say my sister is my best friend, but I think it makes perfect sense. My sister has been in my life ever since I was 2 years old and since then, we have been attached at the hip. We have been through the same family struggles, she is the first one I call when I am having a bad day, and no matter how many fights we get into, I know she has my back no matter what.

I trust my little sister with my life. I know whatever secrets I share with her, they will be kept. I think that's also the really great thing about her being my sister along with my best friend, the trust that she and I have with one another I know will never be broken. Especially throughout these past couple of years, she has been my rock. Although I am the older sister and try to always keep it together for her when we were younger, the roles have reversed a bit. I think this is where the friendship came into play. Not only was she being my loving sister, but she became my rock during a time where I could barely stand on my own two feet. For that, I couldn't be any more grateful that I have her in my life because, without her, I am not sure where I would be today.

I think the most important part of our friendship is how we are always there for each other. When I would come home from school crying, she would be the first person to come sit on my bed and ask me what was wrong. When I would hear her in her room crying, I would always peek my head in her room to make sure she was okay. Although she hated when I would just invite myself into her room, I know she knows that I just want to make sure she is okay. Whichever boy was making us upset or even in full on tears, we were always on it right away. Sending messages that would say "if you hurt her again, you will regret it." Want to know why? Because we are best friends and we can't stand seeing each other in pain.

That doesn't mean that we don't tear each other apart like normal sisters do. We get annoyed with each other, we still steal each other's clothes and then get mad about it, and we say things to one another we sometimes wish we hadn't. We sometimes don't always see eye to eye in certain scenarios and this is where the arguments would come about. But, I think that's what also makes our friendship special and unique. We don't just say what the other person wants to hear, we give one another the truth no matter how hard it may be.

Since we grew up together in the same house, we dealt with the same difficulties and hardships that occurred within our family. With that, there was always this mutual understanding we had between one another that I think is specifically unique to our friendship compared to a friendship between two people that aren't related. It's crazy to think how fast all these years went; years of growing up and years of endless friendship.

My little sister will always be my best friend no matter who else comes in my life. She has proven countless times that she will always be there for me and I have come to fully trust her with everything. Thank you for always having my back, thank you for always taking my side (when I am actually right about something), thank you for being my rock for so many years, thank you for being you. Thank you, little sis, for being the best friend I could ever ask for. I know you are reading this because I force you to read all of my articles and especially since it's about you, you'll read it. Sending love your way, bestie.

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.
