A Letter To My Baby Sister Who Isn't So Little Anymore

Pexels

I remember times when my sister was small. I've also been told stories about us when we were younger. I also remember the years we have spent together. Mostly I remember the annoying and aggravating things she has done. But, I can see her growing up and I know that soon she won't be my "little sister" anymore. As annoyed as I get with her, I realize that we need to take time and enjoy these moments we have together. So, little sister, this one's for you.

I want to thank you for every single thing you have ever done in my entire life. Because of you, I am semi-patient, a problem solver, good with kids, and also used to being bothered. Every attribute I have I can somehow relate back to you. So, thank you for helping me become the person I am today.

Thank you for teaching me how to fix my mistakes, and also how to keep on screaming even when I've lost my voice. Thank you for showing me how to be more gentle with others, and also how to pick the lock to your bedroom door. Thank you for being there with me through everything we have gone through in our young lives, and also the best places to hide the remote. Thank you for sticking up for me, and stealing my personal belonging. Thank you for everything you have done for me, both good and bad.

I can see myself in you the older you grow. I am so glad you are following in my footsteps in some ways, and creating your own path in others. Learn from my mistakes and always know that I am here for you whenever you need me. Know that I am so proud of the things you are accomplishing, and that I can already tell you will be an amazing woman. I love you baby sister!

P.S. Happy 14th birthday to my little sister! I love you!

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
