My friend posted that as a facebook status, and this girl is more than my friends, she is my sister. She helps me through everything, so I need to help her through this. Please help !

that a person gets tired of being judged by other people based on how they look or something they do

[need.sunshine]

it could be related to when someone says you can see someones soul through there eyes... or something like that

She is tired of trying to be the person everyone wants her to be. It's a window to self-discovery.

I would take it to mean that your sister -- like many others today -- is tired of being judged by others and of feeling defined (and confined) by their judgments. The following quotes are related to what I believe your sister is referring to:

"It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.’ ~Sally Field

"[People] in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All [people] have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration." ~Niccolo Machiavelli

“Other people's opinion of you does not have to become your reality.” ~Les Brown

“Patterning your life around other's opinions is nothing more than slavery.” -- Lawana Blackwell

"What you think of yourself is much more important than what others think of you." Seneca
