You are the brother I've always wanted.

A Letter To My Future Brother-In-Law
© Kayla Keller

Dear Future Brother-in-Law,

Growing up, it was just me and my older sister. She was and remains to be an incredible role model in my life and my best friend. She has always been my sister, I've never had to "share" her with anyone. We had each other and honestly what more could we need? My sister is and has always been there when I need her and she's always there even when I don't need her. And that's why she's amazing. Obviously, you too, know how wonderful she is since you asked her ever so beautifully to marry you.

I knew the day would come eventually when she would find that one special person who would make her happier than she's ever been before. And the second I met you, I knew that person was you. Once I saw how much more exciting and enjoyable you make her life, I felt comfortable and happy even, to support my sister's fantastic decision to date you.

Little did I know that her decision to be with you would end up being one of the best things to happen to my life as well. First of all, it makes me incredibly happy to see my sister so ecstatic with you in her life. But second of all, I gained an older brother to help guide me while I continue to grow into an adult. Not only has my sister been there for me through thick and thin but ever since the day I met you, you've helped me get through friend drama, family drama, and of course, boy drama!

I cannot thank you enough for being a great influence in my life these past few years and I definitely don't have enough words to thank you for making my sister happier than I've ever seen her in my entire time on this Earth. I couldn't dream up another man better suited for my sister than you and I am so blessed to be able to call you my brother-in-law. I wouldn't want to "share" my only sister with anyone else but you.

Thank you for being you and for coming into both my and my sister's lives. We love you!

XOXO

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.

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.
