An Open Letter To Boys Interested In My Sister

Boys,

There are some things you need to know about my sister. I'm assuming you have already caught on to the fact that she is naturally gorgeous because that part is hard to miss. However, what you might not be able to pick up on from a glance is that her beauty runs more than skin deep, which cannot be said about every good-looking girl. Yes, my sister is beautiful, but she is much, much more than that.

My sister is fiercely independent. She doesn’t need anyone to do anything for her because she knows she is capable of doing things on her own. She is driven. When she sets her mind to do something, there is no stopping her. Because of this, she is very accomplished, but you wouldn’t know it because she isn’t one to brag. She does not let her successes define her. She is unbelievably confident and sure of herself. She stands up for what she believes is right and doesn’t fall to peer pressure. She is a loyal friend and is protective of the people she cares about. To some people, she comes across as slightly intimidating, but she is the exact opposite. In fact, she is the girl gravitate toward in a room. She has a way of putting people at ease and bringing them together. She is hilarious without trying to be, the type of funny that brings tears to your eyes and cramps to your stomach. She listens to what is being said to her and responds with her honest opinion. Most importantly, she has a kind and caring heart. She is a genuine person with genuinely good intentions at heart, and that is not always easy to come by. She is truly one of a kind.

This is just a small glimpse at the girl I am lucky enough to call my sister. So I just wanted to say to all the boys out there who are interested in pursuing her that she deserves someone who is going to appreciate all these things about her. Sure, maybe her outward beauty drew you in, but her beauty is more than something as temporal as her outward appearance. If you do not realize that, I suggest you move along. Do not selfishly try to steal her heart if you will only place value on her looks.

If you do admire the type of person she is and want to attempt to win her over, here is some advice. The little things will make the big difference. Ask her questions, be interested in what she is doing and why she is doing it. Show her you appreciate her, even if that just means saying thank you out loud. Buy her flowers every now and then for no real reason. Allow her to change, but don't force her to. Challenge her. Respect her decisions and love her for who she is. She will not be an easy catch. She has walls built up because she’s scared to get her heart broken. Be patient, and eventually, she will open up and let you in. Treat her the way she deserves to be treated. If you are not willing to do that, don’t waste your time or hers. But if are willing to treat her right, on the off chance you are able to win over her heart, I promise you’ll be one lucky guy.

Sincerely,

An overprotective sister

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.
