Love & My Little Brother

My favorite little guy.

Love & My Little Brother

If you know me, you know that I consider my little brother one of my best friends. I sometimes choose to spend time hanging out with him over people my own age. There is something about him and the way he loves others that is so admirable. He turned 12 this past week and with every birthday, my heart breaks more and more at the idea of him being my not so little brother. There are so many reasons I love him but here are just a few:

1.He makes me laugh.

Yes, I find myself laughing at him more than I do other people. He knows just when to say something and makes everyone around him laugh.

2.He is himself.

He does not care what others think of him.

3.He gives the best hugs.

I get teary at the idea that one day he will be “too cool” to hug his big sister.

4.He is always willing to watch movies and eat candy with me.

He even watches Hallmark movies with me (that’s love.)

5.He is my biggest fan.

He is always cheering me on in anything that I choose to do.

6.He is the definition of unconditional love.

I mess up and I am no perfect sister. But, he gives me grace and loves me through whatever it may be, even when I don’t deserve it.

7.He is always willing to be my partner in crime.

Whether it is pulling a prank on our parents or going on an adventure, he is there.

Taylor Swifts’ song “Never Grow Up” comes to mind when I think about my little brother and the idea that he is growing up into a little man. I can’t stop it but I can hope and pray he holds on to all the things he has become in the last 12 years. It is such a blessing to be his sister and to have him as a forever 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.
