1. What’s cool to wear and what’s not.

From knee high socks to chokers, you’ve learned from growing up with her the ropes of what’s in and what’s far, far out.

2. With beauty comes pain.

Especially when the time came to start plucking my eyebrows... couldn’t thank ya enough for letting me know I was growing a unibrow.

3. How to talk your parents into letting you do things.

“All my friends are allowed to go”, “I’ll text you right when I get there”. Definitely learned all the right lines when it came to going out with my friends.

4. No matter what you fight over, she will win.

Tickle wars, wrestling, fighting over a shirt you stole from her closet, whatever the argument she always has seemed to have the upper hand. Had to accept the fact that she was bigger, stronger, and lets face it, the older sister.

5. Sharing is caring.

Whether it was food, accessories, or clothes, we always were borrowing something. I strongly believe that we purchase the same things now because of PTSD from the fights we had as kids.

6. Honesty is key.

Yes we will tell each other if that shirt is ugly, the back of your hair isn’t straightened, or the truth about your boy crush. And the best part is being offended is never part of the equation with your sister.

7. No one will ever have your back like your sister.

Your sister is the one who’s grown up with you, seen you at your best, and seen you at your worst, and no matter what will always have your back. Because lets face it, we’re not going anywhere.
