This is one of those times when explaining a feeling cannot measure up to actually having the feeling

I like it when my mother smiles. And I especially like it when I make her smile.

But what Mom never told me is that along the way, you find sisters, and they find you. Girls are cool that way.

We hang out, we help one another, we tell one another our worst fears and biggest secrets, and then just like real sisters, we listen and don't judge.

I don't settle in any other area of my life when it comes to excellence, so why should I lower my standards when it comes to boys?
