If you have a young wildling sister who is the apple of your eye, you definitely want to look out for her so that her butter chicken heart is never broken. You have always been her rock, had her back and as she grows into this feisty teenager with a mind of her own, you know you want to extend your support to all things coming her way- including, matters of the heart.
So, if you are anything like the fiercely protective elder sister I am and have a darla younger sister you cannot bear to see crying over a broken heart (and if she does, you know you’ll be there), then, here are some love lessons you’ll do well to pass along:
1. Live before you leave

This one is an absolute must. Tell her why she needs to live before life gets better of her. Live, laugh, love, peace.

2. It’s okay to not be okay

Let her know that even when she is not okay, it will eventually get okay. The lanes of love can be a little tiring, but it takes you to beautiful places. This too shall pass is TRUE!
3. Forever is often a myth
Yes, before the world breaks her perfect vision, isn’t it better for you to let her know that fairy tales and reality do not collide.
4. But, there is still a Mr. Perfect

Even when she knows that forever can often last a second (or not), don’t let her think there is no Mr. Perfect! Because even though love is hard to come by, loving someone with all one’s heart can turn their imperfections into traits that are simply perfect!
5. Not every fish is meant to be yours
The big, wide ocean of love has too many fish and often the ones you cast your net for might not be yours. Tell her that’s OKAY.
6. You often need to fight for your love

Let her know that the world is a fu*ked up place. Teach her that she will often have to fight it out- sometimes, with the world at large and sometimes, with the one she loves- coz love isn’t an easy thing to sustain!
7. Love is only as blind as you want it to be
Don’t make the mistake of believing that love is blind. Keep your eyes open and walk hand-in-hand in love rather than fall in it, because, love is not simply choosing to fall and getting your knees scraped- it is enjoying the journey and the wonders it brings.
8. Once-in-a-lifetime may happen again
Tell her to enjoy the flavors of love because even the once in a lifetime love sometimes, brings along a second or maybe, a third chance as well. The stars shine in the wilderness of night, isn’t it?
9. Broken doesn’t necessarily mean the end

You need to know that not all things that break are destined for an end. Sometimes, what seems like an end is just another bend.
10. Give it a second chance
Tell her that when she feels like nothing will ever be right again, she has got to be strong and give life a second chance coz every time you rise after you fall, you become a warrior and warrior princesses are sexy AF!
11. Sometimes even, a third take is needed
Never lose hope when it comes to love.
12. Cake always works
When you are giving her powerful advice, you just cannot NOT mention the cake! In fact, try having the conversation with some fat slices cut out!
13. An elder sister is never wrong 😛

Tell her you are there for her, whenever she needs you. And when she does come looking for some love advice, whip it up with sass and a little humor. Once her spirits are considerably risen and maybe, dancing a wee bit, tell her that you are always right and you know the world and the way it swings. *pats my own back fervently*

14. Fall in love with yourself
You need to teach her to fall in love with herself. In order to experience love, you must love who you are. It is then, that the universe shall direct love to you.
15. You’re the best. I love you.
