To My Younger Sisters

Being the oldest can be hard, this is to my younger sisters.

We love em, sometimes. We don't love them so much other times. Our younger siblings are sometimes our best friends and sometimes the complete opposite and you hate each other's guts.

I have a weird relationship with each of my younger sisters. One I'm somewhat close to. She'll talk to me, heck she will even text me out of the blue (granted it's usually a picture of her hedgehog). The other barely acknowledges me when I'm home and like never texts me unless she's really needing help with something. That's just how it goes.

I'm the oldest. I'm the big sister who had the rules that now they only have to deal with somewhat like no tattoos before they're 18 but they can get away with stuff I couldn't. I had to drive them places against my will sometimes but hey that's life. Now I'm 20 and the next oldest is 16. Not gonna lie it kinda scared me when she got her license but it also made me feel like the 3 of us, in general, are growing up way too fast. I can only imagine how my mom feels.

I can't lie and say my little sisters are my best friends because quite frankly they aren't. I love them but my best friends are the adopted sisters I've come to claim. My sisters know they can come rave and rant to me and it would stay between us (unless I'm super concerned) but I do what I can for them even when I'm an hour and a half to two hours away.

I wish them luck on big tests like finals or driving tests. I give them a small push if they're feeling down to help boost them up. I get on their case if they're driving our mom nuts.

College has made me realize the relationship I have with my sisters. We still take goofy pictures when I am home but that's usually on breaks. I sometimes feel left out and that I'm missing some big things like my youngest sister starting her first day of high school, but she did text me and missing the moment my other sister came home with her driver's license. Those are biggish moments in my family and I missed those but there are other things I'll hopefully see, like high school graduations for sure. I love my sisters even though I want to strangle them on occasion but that's just how it goes.

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.
