I write this

I write this...as a daughter. My mother is a great woman. She is strong, and compassionate, and caring. She has taught me how to be all of these things and more. Sure, we fight. We bicker and argue, but at the end of the day, she is my hero and still the beautiful, caring mother that I have always known, and she always will be.

I write this...as a sister. I have two little brothers of my own, and I can easily say this- it’s not easy. One brother is constantly throwing a tantrum because he got his toy truck taken away and the other brother is constantly whining about having to do the dishes. My best advice to you, whoever and wherever you are is this- just hang in there, put up with the unfair treatments, the whining and the complaining. Give them advice, because believe me, they will be you're best friends when you're older, even if you don't want them to be. You will never be able to get rid of them!

I write this...as a friend. I get into fights and arguments about stupid things with my friends, they talk crap about me sometimes, I talk about them, but after all that, they are the ones who are going to be there for you when you're having a bad day, and they’re going to be the ones who give you clothing advice and tell you stories to make you laugh when you feel like crying. You are going to run into people that you don’t like so much, and you can’t help that. There are going to be people that don’t like you, and you can’t help that either. But there is going to come a time when you stumble upon just the right person. The person that holds you up when you're falling down, the person that makes you feel better even in the darkest of darkest of times. So; my words of wisdom- When you find that person, and I know you will, hold on tight to them and never, ever let go.

    I really love this! I relate to a lot what you said, especially the first paragraph.

    Warning: Bound to suddenly start talking about Lego, cartoons, cats, fandoms, books, Europe, minerals, chemistry, the unfair way red-heads are treated, and Potatoes.
