I will always be here for you.

A Letter To My Little Sister
Kara Heffner

Hey Girly,

You are awesome. I couldn't have asked for a better little sister. Sometimes we don't get along, but, for the most part, we do, and I am so happy about that. You have your whole life ahead of you, and you can do anything you set your mind to. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you aren't going to make it anywhere in life. You are beautiful and smart; you have so much willpower and that will take you far. Everything you do is a part of who you are, so choose wisely.

Keep Your Faith

I have begun to see the fire of God in you. I can see it when you talk to people, and there are subtle changes that I can see. Don't let anyone or anything take that fire away from you; it will help shape you into the person you are meant to be. Talk to God about everything. He is there even when it feels like nobody else is. Let him guide your life; as long as God has a hand in it, you won't fail. You have a beautiful heart that God created. I thank God for giving me a little sister like you.

Keep Drawing

I love looking at things you have drawn. I can't even make stick figures look good and you are over there drawing things that should be in art shows. I tell my friends about how well you draw. You are so creative and I love that it shows who you are. You continue to get better and better and it's exciting to think about the things you can do with art. You told me one time that you wanted to be a tattoo artist; go for it. They would be some of the most beautiful tattoos in the world.

You Are Beautiful

My goodness, you are so freaking beautiful. Don't ever let anybody tell you different. You are beautiful without trying. Don't think that you need to have a certain kind of body or a certain kind of makeup to be beautiful. You don't need any of it, because you are so beautiful on the inside and the outside all on your own. It's a wonder we don't have guys fighting in the front yard over you. You could model if you wanted to (but I think you would rather model in boots and mud more than traditional modeling).

I'm Always Here

I will always be here for you. I will support you in everything you do and if you ever need backup, I'm here. I can't wait to see what God is going to do in your life. You are amazing and I know you will go on to great things after high school. Never let go of your family and remember that no matter what happens, we will always be sisters. And that makes me happy.

I love you,

Your big sister Kara

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.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
