Reasons Why your Sister is a Lifelong BFF

 

I can honestly say my life wouldn’t be as great if I didn’t have a sister that was only two and a half years younger than me. She’s been my right hand long before I even knew what that was and I know that she’ll always be on my team.

When my grandma noticed that I began having body odor and needed to start wearing deodorant, my sister cried. She wanted to need deodorant too; she didn’t understand why she didn’t if I did.

Two of my current roommates are sisters; sometimes when I’m with them, watching them talk or bicker or laugh, I catch myself smiling thinking about my own sister and how much I miss her. Being 1,200 miles away is tough, but I’m thankful that I have such an amazing family that will always welcome me home with open arms.

 

 

So here’s to my baby sis.

She understands your crazy family, because it’s her crazy family too.

She hears all the family drama the same time you do and if she doesn’t, she’s the first, and usually the only, person you call to tell.

You can vent to each other and give advice.

As a big sister, it’s really important to me that I always have advice ready to give when my younger sister comes to me asking. But I’ve also learned a lot from her without directly asking for her advice.

Anytime either of you get an invite for something, you assume the other can tag along.

I remember a couple of times when I’d hang out with friends and she wouldn’t want to come because she wasn’t specifically invited, but I assured her if I was invited, she was too. And she always was. Besides, why would you even want to hang out with people if they didn’t love your sister??

Her clothes are also your clothes.

Let’s be honest, we all love when our sister goes shopping because we’re also getting new clothes, without having to pay for them. Having two closets is pretty nice.. Until she wears something of yours without asking and them posts a picture in it.. But you always get over it fast.

She makes you realize that you actually have maternal instincts.

If anybody even thinks about messing with her – guy or girl – you will step in before she even has the chance to defend herself.

She’ll be straight up with you when you’re being an idiot or making a bad decision.

Most of the time, you can’t even get mad when she calls out your bull-crap, because deep down you know she’s 100 % right.

Between the two of you, one of you is bound to be good at makeup and/or doing hair. 

My sister could spend an entire day watching makeup videos. She knows the top makeup brands when in Ulta or Sephora. Which is great, because I’ve never watched a single makeup video and I keep the same bottle of foundation until it’s empty and then get the exact same brand. Thank gosh I can sneak into her makeup bag and try out new things from time to time.

She will always stick around, no matter what.

Even after the worst arguments and fights, you’re still going to be best friends. (I accidentally gave my sister a bloody nose one day and at the end of the day, she still let me sleep in her bed.) She’s the real MVP.

Few people are fortunate enough to have a sister, so you consider yourself one of the lucky ones.
