A letter to my adoptive brothers.

An Open Letter To 'My Guys'

Sometimes life from a guy’s perspective can be a great breath of fresh air. Now don’t get me wrong, my girlfriends are the best, but my guys bring something different; they bring a new perspective to life, one that brings so much laughter and excitement. Every girl should have a guy in their lives who makes them happy. My guys aren’t my father, brothers, cousins, or my boyfriend; but my guys are my best friends, the friends who have become like my adoptive brothers.

Hi guys,

First and foremost, I love you.

You are not technically family but I love you like I love my own brothers. We have created our own little family over the years, spending countless hours together.

You make me laugh.

You have witnessed milk come out of my nose from laughing at one of your puns, sassy comments, or corny jokes. We have spent hours not being able to breathe, having a stomach ache because we were laughing so hard. You seem to know how to make me smile, especially on the days when I need it the most.

Thank you for always being there.

I know I can count on you because you are only a phone call away. You are always listening to me about my life. My problems become your problems. Thanks for the hour long conversations in the car with me, the coffee dates where you listened much more than you talked, and the summer nights by the campfire. Thanks for not judging me when I have that extra slice of pizza after a rough day or show up to hang out in sweatpants with no make up on.

You make life so much more exciting.

That random hiking trip, random ice cream or coffee run, or spontaneous soccer game always makes my days a little bit better. I look forward to our random adventures when we are together.

I can’t imagine my life without you.

I need my guys. Thank you for everything. Let’s keep making more adventures.

Lots of love,

Your girl

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.
