Yes, I'm The Only Girl

Perks: I can steal all your clothes but you can't steal mine.

Yes, I'm The Only Girl
Samantha Tremblay

I love telling people I grew up being the only girl. It gets even better when people find out I have not one, not two, but three brothers. I feel like it actually explains a lot about me, considering the only example I really had growing up was my older brother.

Going through school, not many teachers put two and two together that my brothers and I were related, even if we were the only Tremblays in our hometown. I guess to others it seems we all act very differently, but I think my close friends would be able to tell where we all get our mannerisms from each other.

Jonathan, you're the youngest, which means the rest of us automatically assume you get what you want because of your age. It's frustrating to watch sometimes, but I'll be the first to admit you've gotten much better as you've gotten older. You went from being addicted to the computer to (still) a little addicted, but you added in wrestling (which I talked you into joining) and basically being the mini-engineer of the house. You're going to be smarter than the rest of us combined. Just please remember us when you're making more money than I can imagine.

Timothy, I've never seen someone smile going through what you have gone through with every surgery and procedure that you've had. I've also never been more jealous that our entire family can be arguing and you're the only one that can get away with laughing at the whole thing. You're the strongest person I know and you're one of the reasons that I can still smile through everything.

Christopher, you're my only big brother, my fellow California-kid, and the only person who would write me motivational quotes from "Skyrim." I got into wrestling because of you, I developed so much of my humor from you, and maybe somewhere in there my love of stories comes from you exaggerating everything you talk about. Most of all, you showed me what not to do so I would stay out of trouble with our parents, and for that I thank you.

Yes, I'm the only girl. Yes, sometimes my brothers are gross and drive me crazy. But at this point, I can't really live without them, and at least I don't have to worry about them stealing my clothes.

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.
