From Your Older Sister

Dear Little Brother,

Thank you for being the biggest pain in my ass and you have been since the day you came into this world. Even though we fight and I honestly wanna punch you right in the face, there is no one else Id rather call my little brother. We have come so far since we were younger. From the name calling and the screaming in one another's face. To spartan kicking me down a flight of stairs and constant bickering of who's better at what. I can honestly say you are my best friend.

When we were younger I don't think we would have thought we of all people would be best friends. I can count on you no matter what life throws at me. I can always rely on you to have my back even if I may be wrong. Growing up I looked at you as someone I had to protect from everything and everyone. In my mind I was the only one allowed to beat you up and call you chunky. No one else was allowed that privilege or they would have to deal with my wrath. Now the roles have reversed.

I want you to have your freedom. I want you to experience life without your big bad older sibling holding your hand and punching who ever gives you a hard time. You are getting older and now I feel like I need you more then ever. You now are the one standing up for me when I get hurt. Your the one checking on me to make sure I'm okay because I had a shitty day at work or a fight with my boyfriend.You are now the one holding my hand in this crazy world.

Sometimes I look at life and think would it have been better to be the younger sibling. In reality I wouldn't trade it for the world. I watched you grow and feel like I was apart of shaping who you are today. The young man you are becoming and the way you treat women now and in the future. You have seen the struggles your older sister has faced and the mean boys who have hurt her. You are now my protector and you never allow anyone to hurt me again, without making them pay for it. Who needs an older brother when I have a little brother like you. Who saw me take care of them when they were younger, I will forever be your big sister. I will forever love you and protect you. As I know you will protect me. The bond we have is indescribable.

The way you look at me when your upset or angry. I instantly can read who or why. I can tell when your sad even if you have the biggest smile on your face. I can tell when your guilty and trust me Ill take a lie to the grave just so you don't get in trouble. We are all each other has for the rest of our crazy lives. The constant reliable person who we can confine in, and not one secret would ever be shared. You will forever be my best friend.

I just want to say thank you and I love you.

Love your forever best friend

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.
