13 Reasons To Thank Your Little Brother
PsychCentral

At first it’s kind of hard to think what you could possibly thank your annoying little brother for, but they really do so much for us older sisters that it would be absolutely impossible to think of a life with them not in it. Yeah they suck sometimes, but how can you not love your little brother? It’s impossible. Here are just a few things that came to mind when thanking our little brothers for the little things they do for us.

1. Thanks for protecting me. They may be younger than you, but they still try to act tough whether it be a boyfriend or some random guy who just happens to look at you funny, brothers are the first to step in on and be protective even if they don’t need to.

2. Thanks for being my own personal comedian. Little brothers are obviously hilarious. There is nothing funnier than the stupid, crazy, embarrassing and sometimes annoying things that little brothers do to make you laugh.

3. Thanks for being there when I need you. They are the best at cheering us up. There is no better feeling than getting something sweet and heartfelt from a little brother when they know you’re feeling down. They really do care about us so much.

4. Thanks for taking my side in most arguments. Especially against our parents and even if I’m not right, I can still count on you to have my back.

5.Thanks for covering for me. When they find out your secrets or things that mom and dad shouldn’t know, it might take some bribing, but they always pull through.

6. Thanks for carrying heavy things for me or reaching things from the top shelf. Even though they’re younger, somehow they are so much stronger and way taller making them the perfect candidate.

7. Thanks for letting me know when I don’t look very “conservative.” They can be brutally honest when it comes to the clothes we wear and whether a dress is too short or my leggings aren’t “appropriate.”

8. Thanks for being somewhat patient with me when I try to relate to sports or video game related things. You have taught me the proper way to throw a football and that the A button on the game controller is not what I should be pressing to shoot a zombie.

9. Thanks for not stealing my clothes or shoes. Unlike sisters, little brothers want nothing to do with your wardrobe or accessories so you know you’re safe.

10. Thanks for being my eyes when I was blinded by someone who I thought was great. They are great judges of character and thank goodness because I have dodged many bullets because of my little brother. Brothers really do analyze everyone and they don’t hesitate to give an honest opinion.

11. Thanks for being fun. It’s honestly never a dull moment with a little brother, they make life a lot more interesting.

12. Thanks for keeping me in line because I want to be a good role model for you. We all want to set good examples for our younger siblings and they make us better people because of it. Thanks for being there so I can base my choices off of you.

13. Thanks for being a little rebellious. I love to hear about your experiences and hear your stories, it’s so fun to live through you!

Thanks little brother for being the best little brother an older sister could ask for. I wouldn't have it any other way!

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.
