I Don't Consider Myself To Have Step Or Half Siblings, They're Just My Siblings

The word "step" and "half" stinks. These are my siblings no matter what.

I get asked all the time "how many siblings do you have?" and my answer is always 7. The response I always get is the whole "dang, your mom had a lot of kids." After that response, I have to include that some are my step and some are half.

Those words always kill me when they come out of my mouth because I don't like using those words. They are my siblings no matter how they came into my life. They were actually chosen for me and placed in my life.

I'm forever grateful for them and honestly having so many siblings make life 1,000,000 times better. There is always someone there for me to talk to, a shoulder to cry on, a laugh, a smile, and inside jokes.

Personal Picture

You always have someone to hang out with and you're never by yourself. Although sometimes your secrets come out because we tell each other everything and then things can go downhill fast.

When having sisters, you never have to buy clothes because what's theirs is your's and vice versa. Although you have to sneak the shirt, pants, and jeans. Then you can walk out of your room and have their clothes on and they will be surprised and mad since you never asked to borrow it.

Sometimes, your phone charger goes missing but, it always ends up in your sibling's room. Then, when you ask about it they end up always saying that it's theirs even when it has your initials on it.

Although there are some cons, there are always perks. Having siblings is an amazing thing, no matter the way that they came into your life. Step-siblings and half-siblings are your siblings no matter what. They should not get labels because they love you and you love them. The love is the same and is not different just because of the labels.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
