An Open Letter To My Little Brother

Dear lil bro,

There is a lot I have to tell you and I thought the best way for me to fully express the emotions I have would be with words:

I love you, bub. You are the best brother a girl could ever ask for. There are so many reasons why, like how you always have my back, how you can make me laugh and how you can cheer me up after some idiot has broken my heart again.

To start off, I want to thank you for having my back. For standing up for me when no one else would. For being overprotective and guarding me from the bullies. I can't thank you enough for the times you consoled me when I was sobbing after people had posted horrible stuff about me all over social media; how you would surprise me with Reese’s cups just out of the blue because you knew it would make me happy. Or the time we were at Target, and I was having a bad day, and you said you bought some espresso from Starbucks when I asked what you were doing, but you had actually bought me my favorite drink. You are so thoughtful and kind, and I am lucky that I get to watch you continuously grow into the young man you are becoming.

I love how there were so many things that only you and I would have fun doing. Like playing Wizards 101 for 6 hours and arguing over who had the best character (sorry for sharing this with the world, it is just a great representation of why I love you). And how you pretended to be a student while I was practicing my teaching skills when we younger; lord knows how fun it was to have me teach you math incorrectly. I am just really appreciative of all the memories we share, no matter how strange they may seem to other people. I am just happy I got to share them with you.

I even love how overprotective you are. I know that you always have my best interest at heart and that you have always been looking out for me when I couldn’t seem to realize that I was talking to another loser. You would stand up for me when anyone ever disrespected me and that is something I will always cherish.

There are obviously some times that have been not so great. Honestly, you really gross me out nine times out of 10. But on a positive note, growing up with your gross habits helped prepare me for what future boyfriends would do. If I could grow up with you then I could make it through any unpleasant moment with any other guy.

But the flaws that you have are far surpassed by your amazing qualities. You are so caring and genuine to everyone you meet; it is truly inspiring to watch how kind you are. You know how to respect women and I am proud that I can say that about you in this generation. I can’t wait until I get to be the over protective sister when you start dating because I don’t want watch you ever get hurt. I love you more than words describe and I am so blessed that I got you as a brother. I am so grateful for you and I just hope you know that.

Love,

Your favorite sister

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.
