"Because I have brothers I will always have best friends"

Why Being An Only Girl Is A Blessing
Personal Image

When I was little I loved playing sports rather than playing with barbies. In particular I enjoyed playing tackle football on our front lawn and watching football games with the boys. I dd in fact have my girly phase but I never turned down the opportunity to play catch or play Madden on xbox. I was horrible at both but still enjoyed the smiles I shared with my brothers.

Growing up with all brothers meant I never had to worry about sharing a room, fighting over clothes or fighting over boys. The only clothes I ever shared were t-shirts with my brother when we were the same size. I loved wearing his sports shirts. I always had someone to fight with and someone to laugh with. No matter what my brothers were always my biggest supporters. They are always brutally honest with me when it comes to eating habits and outfit choices. I tend to get to mad at first but I know they do it out of love.

Most importantly growing up with all brothers mean’t having best friends. We grew up together and have almost all the same interests thats why we all click. We use to do everything together and now that we are all older we are not always together. It doesn’t matter because we all come back together at home when we can. Like they say home is where the heart is and I can’t express how much that is true.

Over the years I have watched several families lose a brother and I can’t ever imagine the feeling of losing one of mine. I never take my brothers for granted and I make sure to always spend time with them when I can. Having all brothers means I will always be protected and cared for. I love my brothers more than anything and I am so beyond blessed to call them my best friends.

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.
