To My Older Brother, My Favorite Peasant

You're pretty cool, I guess.

To My Older Brother, My Favorite Peasant

Dear Big Brother,

You are the biggest peasant I've ever had to deal with in my whole entire life. But you're my peasant and I wouldn't trade you for anyone in the world – I guess. We may not have always been the best of friends, but now that we're older, I'm glad you have realized how cool and awesome your little sister is. I know you enjoy having me in your life not only as a sister but also as a friend. Growing up with you may not have been the easiest, but it sure has taught me some lessons.

Thanks for practicing all of those wrestling moves on me. You know, like the choke slam, or that elbow thing. I'm not even going to talk about how you made up your own move trying to absorb me. But as a result of that, I'm pretty tough now. If any boy ever tries to but his hands on me, I don't think he'll be prepared for what I'm going to do to him. I guess I have you to thank for that.

Thanks for never letting me win in any video games we played. Even if I begged, pleaded, you still didn't let me win. Remember that one time when you wanted to show how much better you were than me in Super Smash Bros Melee that you left the room with the wireless control and you were still somehow able to beat me? Good times....for you. But if I'm being honest, you are the best and by playing the best and constantly losing, you eventually get better. So I guess I got better (years later) because I can beat you in smash now – in yo face. While we're on the topic of games, though, thanks for letting me copy you and play all the games you played (but if I remember correctly you hated that I copied you so much). But since I did copy you so much I was able to know about games like Smash, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, and Donkey Kong countries 1-3 for SNES. Who would've known that the friends I've made in college play or like most of those games too. I actually became friends with them by playing Super Smash Brothers.

And then there were my guinea pigs. Thanks for....well yeah there's no lesson to be learned from that story moving on.....

Not only have I learned a lot from you big peasant brother, but we've also had a lot of fun times together. Like Christmas shopping together every year (even though we always ended up fighting). Or all of our car rides together aka Z time, my favorite time. But then there was that one car ride we had together that I'm pretty sure you and I are never going to forget. Good times. We also go to movies and dinner together. Or to amusement parks and ride all of the rollercoasters. We watch old episodes of Spongebob together and laugh at the same parts every time. I wonder where our relationship would be without Spongebob honestly....

I can't say that we've gone to concerts together because you're a peasant and didn't want to go to the Drake and Future concert with me....but who needs to see them when I have an older brother who can spit rhymes just as good (did I say that right? Let's pretend I did).

So I guess what I am trying to say, is that you're a pretty awesome, and I am lucky to have you as a big brother. I love you.

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.
