A sister is like a ready made best friend gifted by your parents who you know will be around forever. Although most sisters share a love-hate relationship, the pros of having one, far outweighs the cons in the long run.
1. It’s like a sleepover
When you have a sister, be it younger or elder, it’s like a sleepover party almost every night, especially if you both share a room. You go to sleep talking endlessly about random stuff and unlike with your other girl friends, when you have to be a little restricted in what you speak, you can be as open as you please with your sis.
2. A God given BFF
She is your best friend forever, literally. You are stuck with her and more often than not that’s good news. You may fight and argue, get into numerous cat fights, but the bond of blood makes you stick together and love each other for life.
3. A ready helper
She may say at times that she will not help you with this or that, but her heart is soft enough to melt soon and help you out of any problem eventually. Even if it is a thing that she may have no clue about, she’s not the one to leave you in the lurch, but will get together with you to solve your problems.
4. Sharing things and gossip
The best thing about having a sister is that your wardrobe gets doubled. You both can share each other’s outfits, accessories, books and almost any other stuff. She is your shopping partner when no one else is available. Also, you can freely gossip with your sister as much as you please to without having to restrain yourself or fear of betrayal.
5. Secret keeper
Be it your first crush or boyfriend, the first time you sneak out of the house or the way you do that little embarrassing jig when you think no one’s around, your sister knows it all and she will keep these secrets safe. You can always confide in her if no one else, this is especially good for those girls who find it difficult to retain a secret in their stomachs and just have to blurt it out to someone.
6. You are never alone
Even in your loneliest and most depressing phases of your life, you know that you are never really alone. Even if miles away, your sister will always be there for you. The feeling of belongingness and being loved by at least 1 person in the world is a warm feeling that should avoid making you feel unloved and alone.
7. Someone to take care of parents
Only children have lots of concerns about their parents in regards to taking care of them in their old age. However, when you have a sibling, you know that there is at least one person who loves your parents as much as you do and will take care of them. The burden of responsibilities is not only yours, it’s shared.
