7 Obstacles That Are So Much Easier To Face If You Have A Sister
If you never believed in magic, having a sister most likely changed your mind. They're everything we need to get through the day, and we are so thankful that our parents made us a lifelong best friend. Our sisters genuinely help us get through life's mishaps. Some struggles you face in life are so much easier to endure with your sister by your side, and it's mostly because she is genuine, unbiased, and has your best interests in mind, always.
Sisters don't get enough credit for the impact and affect they have on our lives. Their very presence is comforting, and you always know that you have a friend in this big world, whether she's simply a phone call away or waiting for you to open the door. Everyone knows you don't get to choose your sister, and maybe that's why she's the perfect person to help you combat the unexpected and unwarranted things that happen in your life.
At the end of the day, words can hardly do justice to describe all of the things a sister does and just how meaningful every single one of her unique qualities are. It's definitely a bond that can't be duplicated. So, if you have a sister and wouldn't trade her for the world, she was mostly like there for life's hiccups.
01Getting Over A Nasty Breakup
Breakups are never easy. Sisters certainly have a way of cushioning the blow and helping you pick up the pieces if you're taking things really hard. Maybe it's because she's a woman who is susceptible to the same heartache, but she is the easiest person to understand what you're going through and how to help you move forward.
02Having A Falling Out With Your Parents
Having a major disagreement with your parents is an unfortunate pivot in any adult's life. Our parents can do no wrong when we grow up, so it can be difficult to have any falling out with them when we get older. Your sister doesn't necessarily play the peacekeeper. She lets you feel and voice what you need to, and helps you figure out a better way to deliver that message to your parents.
03Any PMS Debacles
Both of you share the same least-favorite relative — and that's Aunt Flow. You were both there when each of you first received a visit from her, and you two have tag-teamed the torment ever since. Your sister is no stranger to the blunt details and expressions you use to describe your pain and frustrations.
04Keeping A Positive Sense Of Self
Women have a tricky duty to establish their own definition of being a woman in a world that constantly depicts what that should even be. It can be easy to compare yourself to unrealistic body images that are plastered on television and social media. With that in mind, your sister is always your biggest supporter. She has and will always love you for who you are.
05Accepting That You Were Wrong
It doesn't matter how old you get; it will not necessarily get any easier to accept you were wrong about something that crucially unfolded in your life. Your sister has no issue letting you know that you were in the wrong, and quite frankly, she'll say it in a way that'll remind you it's OK to make mistakes, but it's important to own them.
06Knowing Your Worth
Regardless of what it was that made you feel like you deserved less than what you actually do, your sister swoops in almost immediately to remind you of the gem that you are. The great things about sisters is that they don't need to sugarcoat anything. They know just about every genuine thing about you, so you know that they aren't kidding when they oh-so-beautifully list the amazing things you deserve. It's refreshing.
07Losing Sight Of Your Goals
We all go through that portion of life where it seems like we are living aimlessly through the days, just getting by. If you veer off track, your sister steps in, puts your hands on the wheel, and tells you to steer. Our sisters only want the best for us, but they will also make you understand that you have to want the best for yourself, too.
Sisters seriously make everything better, and if we had to list everything they actually did for us, we'd be listing things for eternity. Yes, giving a huge bear hug to your sister is in order now.
