An Open Letter To My Little Sister AKA My Built In Best Friend

Not everyone is lucky enough to have a sister, but let me tell you, it is a bond unlike anything else in this world.

An Open Letter To My Little Sister AKA My Built In Best Friend
Bridget MacPherson

When my sister came home from the hospital about 17 years ago, I asked my parents if we could send her to my Aunt Cathy. I mean, come on. I was only 3, I wanted Mom to myself, and Aunt Cathy did not have any kids. It was a no-brainer! Spoiler: We never sent my sister to Maryland, but fast forward to today, and my sister is my best friend in the world.

There is nothing like having a sister. Having someone in your life that knows you as well as you know yourself, growing up with the same morals and life experiences, and of course dealing with all of the ups and downs of childhood. Having a sibling, and in my case a sister, is like having a one-of-a-kind friendship.


Sisters at the happiest place on earth!!Bridget MacPherson


I recently had a conversation with a friend about soulmates; finding one does not necessarily mean that they are your romantic partner. We both agreed that our sisters are our life partners. That regardless of the people who come and go from our lives, that there will never be another person who understands us and completes us like our sisters do. That conversation got me thinking about the love I have for my little sister, and the love I know that siblings around the world share. So, I have decided to dedicate this article to my sister, Caitlin, as a way of thanking her for being my life partner these past 17 years and for continuing to support me every day of my life.


She can't get enough of meBridget MacPherson


For those of you with siblings, I encourage you to call yours and tell them how much they mean to you. This is a joyous yet stressful time of year for most of us, and a small conversation can go a long way.

Now, I do not mean to brag, but there is nothing like having my sister.

Caitlin, you have made my life completely unforgettable. From all of our cute childhood memories to our hilarious teenage years, and to our current journeys into adulthood, I could not imagine going through life with anyone else.



Middle school was rough on all of us...Bridget MacPherson


You have inspired me in so many ways and have shown me what it is like to live fearlessly and confidently. You are the funniest person I know and your beautifully hilarious personality is what holds our family together. You deserve all the praise in the world for your strength and gumption, and I want you and everyone else to know how amazing of a person, friend, and sister you are. Happy birthday, Seaside. I cannot wait to celebrate with you so soon!



Cotton Candy Sisters -- I love you!!!Bridget MacPherson

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.
