8 Things I Need To Thank My Brother For
Mackenzi Koop

Kyle, you are my best friend. Growing up with you was tough some days but I would not change it for the world. From our endless fights to our endless nights. I remember the days that we would argue till I cried. I remember days I wish I had a sister instead. But now I cannot imagine my life without you. You are God’s greatest blessing to me. Your friendship means more than anyone else’s. I appreciate you and everything you have done for me. I love you more than words can say. So thank you. For everything.

1. Thank you for being my role model

You are an inspiration. You have always showed me that working hard at something is the only way to achieve anything, and you are right. Thank you for forcing me to work hard for things instead of just letting me off easy. You have shown me not everything in life will be handed to me.

2. Thank you for constantly picking on me

You made me who I am today. Even though you push my buttons more than anyone else, you made me tough. You taught me that life doesn’t always have to be serious.

3. Thank you for showing me how a man should treat his woman

It seems that most boys I run into nowadays are all about how far they can go with you. They think disrespecting women is the cool thing to do. They think hooking up with a different girl every night is normal. In today’s society, girls feel as if that is how they are supposed to be treated. And it breaks my heart that we are taught that it is okay. So thank you for showing me that a women should be treated with respect. For showing me that women should be valued. Thank you for showing me I do not have to settle for anything less. You have proved to me there are good men out there.

More than that, our mother. You give her the utmost respect. The way a man treats his mother is how he will treat you.

4. Thank you for showing me that it is okay to be vulnerable

Seeing your older brother vulnerable is not something that happens often but I PROMISE you it happens.

5. Thank you for being overprotective

Yes, I yelled at you every time you were being overprotective but you have saved me from so much. Whether it be you questioning what I’m wearing or questioning if that boy is good enough for me. (You have always been right about the guys I date or talk to and yes I’m rolling my eyes) I appreciate your questions that sometimes went unanswered.

6. Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on

From the boys who broke my heart, to our parents divorce, to me just being emotional. Thank you for always knowing what to say and what not to say.

7. Thank you for always taking my side

Yes, I was wrong many times. But somehow you never were against me. (Unless it was me against you)

8. Thank you for being my best friend

Days when I feel as if all my girl friends have turned against me, you were there. When you knew something was wrong but would just make me smile instead of asking what was wrong because you knew I did not want to discuss it with.

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.
