To my little brother

At only 10, you have taught me so much about life. You have taught me to never ever give up, to keep moving forward even when life throws so many punches, and no matter what happens, always keep thriving to be better. I never thought when I was 10 years old, the first time I met you at the hospital, we would end up being best friends. You make me so proud beyond words.

At only 10, you have exceeded all my expectations for you in sports. Even though you love basketball, baseball is your life. When you grow up you want to be in the MLB (Major League Baseball) and play for the Pittsburgh Pirates. I will do whatever it takes to push and support you to get there. I love going to your baseball games, there is nothing else I would rather do during my summer nights. Every game I cheer you on until I do not have a voice because you never have an "off" game. You are the best 10-year-old pitcher there is.


At only 10, you are so smart. Fourth grade is such a breeze for you, and I loved when mom called me to tell me how you're already on a fifth-grade reading level. Your teachers are very impressed with you. Even though you told me school is boring, I know you love it deep down inside. You make me feel old because I graduated high school in 2014, and you're going to be a big senior in 2025. Don't blink, it will be here before you know it, and I'll be 28 years old at your graduation (yikes!).

At only 10, you make me laugh more than anybody else. You always have the most annoying comments to anybody that says anything stupid. Your dance moves are out of this world. I always laugh so hard when you FaceTime me just to "dab" on the phone. I love your daily Snapchats. They make going to college two hours away a little easier. You always discover the newest Snapchat filters and put them to use. You truly rock Snapchat.

At only 10, you are a blessing. You are exactly what I needed and I am so thankful God gave me a little brother. I am overly excited to see all that you accomplish in your life. Even though you act like you are too cool for me, just know that I appreciate you so much. Thank you for being a sassy 10-year-old and being my role model. You are forever my little brother.

Love,

Your big 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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
