1. They are first friends. Sisters learn about interacting with other girls from each other. Whether you shared a room or had your own space, as a child your sister knew more about you than any other person on the planet. You could act cool or put on sophisticated airs at school but she knew if you kept candy under the bed or spent your nights mooning over the boy who say in front of you in homeroom....

“Much of our activity these days is nothing more than a cheap anesthetic to deaden the pain of an empty life.” – Unknown “The things you own end up owning you.” – Tyler Durden in Fight Club Beyond a minimum threshold of poverty, money doesn’t buy happiness.
