More Than A Friend, But A Sister

Thanks for always being there for me.

More Than A Friend, But A Sister
Hannah Booker

Friends are hard to find, and a life-long friend is even harder to snag on to.

“A strong friendship doesn’t need daily conversation or being together. As long as the relationship lives in the heart, true friends never part.”

I love this quote, and it really is so true that you don’t have to talk or be together on a daily basis, but when it’s a true friend you are able to pick up right where you left off.

So here’s a thank you to the friends that aren’t just a friend, but a true friend. A sister.

  • 1.You could have a million things to do but if I text you to vent, or call you because I need you, you are always there for me.
  • 2.Distance doesn’t mean anything in our relationship
  • 3.Looking forward to each others futures
  • 4.Thanks for always encouraging me

True friends are the ones who sometimes put our needs before their own. They would drop everything to help you when you need it the most. If my car was breaking down on the highway, I know they would come rescue me. If my heart was broken, I know they would do everything they can to help put it back together. They truly care and for that I’ll be forever grateful.

I may live hundreds of miles apart from you, or I may even just live twenty minutes down the road. Either way, we make distance work. Just because we can’t hop in our car and be over in a second like we may have been able to do at some point, we still make an effort to see each other when we can, and when we see each other it feels like we had never been apart at all.

As we get older, our futures are so exciting. Of course we think about our own all the time, but I truly look forward to being a part of your future as well. Whether it’s a wedding, a new job, having kids, buying a house, it doesn’t matter. A true friend stands by your side through it all.

True friends don’t bring you down, they lift you up. Throughout my life, I’ve had friends that have made me feel low, and now that I know what it means to have true friends I’ll never settle for that type of friend again. True friends will never give you unnecessary advice, they will encourage you always, and help you strive to be the best version of yourself that you can be. They show you that settling shouldn’t be an option, they help you with pros and cons in life, they wipe your tears when you are upset, and they come stay with you when a girl’s night is just what you need.

The girls that I have in my life are such a blessing.

It’s amazing how God places the perfect people in our life, and causes our paths to cross. I wouldn’t trade the girls I call my sisters for the world. Through whatever life may throw at us, just know that you always have a friend in me. No matter what time of day or night it is, I’ll always be here for you and I know you'll always do the same for me.

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.
