An Open Letter To My Sister

A personal letter from the better sister.

Hello buttface,

I'm sorry. I had to begin with starting with an insult, what kind of sister what I be if I didn't?

First off, thanks for being my best friend. Having a sister like you means that I always have a life-long best friend. Although sometimes I feel like if we weren't related I would probably never talk to you, I'm thankful to have a sister like you. Thanks for keeping up with the story and telling everyone we were twins just because we were so close in age. A sister means that I'll have someone to share my deepest secrets with and know that no one else will ever know.

Thanks for always letting me borrow your clothes. I'm so glad we were the same size so I always technically had two closets. Thanks for being brutally honest with me when I thought that pink eyeliner in middle school was a good choice. Thanks for teaching me to be girly and showing me how to do makeup. Thanks for showing me to dress in bolder colors and patterns. Thanks for watching Youtube videos with me and slowly going over how exactly to blend my eyeshadow.

Thanks for always being by my side. Thanks for being "stuck like glue" whenever we're at awkward gatherings and sitting in the corner with me, silently judging everyone else.

No matter how far away I am or feel, thanks for always being a phone call away. I appreciate your random texts with pictures of our inside jokes, or how you take time out of your day whenever I'm having a bad day to vent or just cry.

Most of all, I'm just lucky to have an annoying, pain-in-my side, compassionate, sassy and loving sister.

Love,

the Better Sister

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
