Dear Future Brother In Law

Dear Future Brother In Law,

Hello and congratulations. I say this not because you will, at some point marry my little sister, but congratulations for that, too. I say congratulations because if you have even made it to the point where you are considered a fiancé, you've survived our father and that is a feat in itself.

All jokes aside, at some point you will marry my little sister. If you have made it to this stage with her, you are a very, very special man. My sister is a special person. She is sweet, and kind, and caring. She doesn't always show that side of her, but it's there. You should know all those things by now, so I will tell you some other things.

1. My sister is not a nice person if she doesn't get enough sleep. I love her but after about 3 a.m., she tends to get brutally honest. Now understand, this is not a bad quality, but if you have done anything to upset her, you might not like what she says.

2. My sister takes A LOT of photos: You also will probably already know this, but I'll tell you again. I advise you buy a hard drive so she can upload all her selfies. She loves how she looks, and I am so proud of her for that. She will take a lot of photos; she will keep nearly all of them. (At the time I am writing this, she still has the selfie she took on the day she got her phone in her library.)

3. My sister probably is the most stubborn person I've ever met. My sister is the person who told me that she would change the names of my kids if I picked a name she didn't like. She says it how she sees it, and it is an impressive quality for her to have. Don't ever try to change it. I promise you will get many laughs from it.

4. My sister has a tough exterior. Don't hurt her. It will be hard to get her to forgive you, and even more difficult to get my family to forgive you. She will fight with everything she has, even if inside she is hurting. You need to ask her if you think something is wrong. If she doesn't automatically tell you, give her a chance to compose herself. She will tell you at some point.

5. My sister is a terrible decision maker sometimes. Occasionally my sister will not make decisions for herself. She will ask you your opinion on things she likes like 100 million times. Hopefully, as she gets older, this trait will get a little easier to deal handle.

6. My sister LOVES to go to the store. Swear to God, my sister will go with you almost EVERY TIME you go shopping. Even if she doesn't want to buy anything, she just likes stores. It's weird, yeah. But you'll have some exciting adventures.

7. My sister plays lots of pranks. When we were younger, her and our cousin placed thumb tacks on the floor and turned off the light. My brother ended up walking over them.

Currently, I don't know you. However you should be aware, my sister is my best friend. We fight because we are sisters and that is what we do. But I will always be here for her. I will go to jail for my sister. So do not do anything to hurt her in any way (mentally, emotionally, etc.)

I am very glad you found my sister, but I am even more glad she found you. She deserves someone to love her fully and comprehensively. She is an incredibly special girl, and I know she will grow up to be an amazing woman. Love her completely and wholly. Welcome to the family. Enjoy your stay.

Love,
The Big Sister.

P.S. I'm watching 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.
