10 Reasons Why Brothers Are The Absolute Best

"Sometimes being a brother is better than being a superhero."

– Marc Brown

Being the only girl with two brothers has taught me that: I am a daddy's girl, and I have two boys to always look out for me. My brothers have been through it all with me and they are my best friends. Having brothers is a huge blessing. Even though they know exactly what to do to tick you off, they also fill you up with so much love. Can't live with them, but you can't live without them! Here are the reasons why I think brothers are the absolute best:

1. They aren’t judgmental.

He’s known you for most your life or your whole life and knows the person you are. He’s seen it all. If he has anything to say, it’s most likely something you’ve heard several times before.


2. They always have your back.

Did a boy break your heart? Tell him to watch out. Is someone being mean to you? Tell them to run for the hills. Brothers are the best kind of bodyguards. They'll always look out for you.

3. They correct you when you’re wrong.


Did you make a mistake? Don’t worry, your brother will remind you to correct yourself and help you learn from his own mistakes.

4. They double as your best friend.

Have an issue you don’t want to discuss with your parents? Need a shoulder to lean on? Call your brother. He will always be there for you.

5. They say the funniest things.

Need some cheering up and nothing else works? Turn to your brother to hear the thing that will make you grin from ear to ear.

6. They tell it like it is.

If you're wearing an awful outfit or if you're wearing way too much makeup they will make sure to tell you the truth before you make a fool of yourself.

7. They made growing up so much fun.

The best memories you have are the ones with your brothers when you were kids. My brothers taught me how to get dirty and play sports and for that, I will be forever grateful.

8. You love to steal their clothes.

You probably have a ton of their shirts because they are so comfy... and because you just like to steal their stuff.

9. They put up with all your nonsense.

You’re outgoing personality probably puts them over the edge sometimes, but they deal with it anyways.

10. They love you unconditionally, no matter what.

Feeling ugly? Your brother will remind you just how beautiful you are. Friends may come and go, but you’ll always have your brother there to catch you when you fall.


Shout out to all of the amazing brothers out there! I love you, Alex & Tyler!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
