An Open Letter To My Brother

I am proud of you.

An Open Letter To My Brother
EmmaLee Haga

Dear Chad,

I love you.

It's not everyday that I get to see you. I only see you at holidays now or special occasions which isn't ideal. I wonder a lot how you're doing, and what you're doing. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about you. I miss you tons.

I have very few fond memories with you growing up, but the memories I do have make me smile. Even though you were rarely around, I knew that I loved you and wanted to be a part of your life forever. Luckily, we have recently reconnected and our bond is stronger than ever. No, it isn't what your typical brother/sister relationship is like, but it's enough for me. One day, I do hope that we can be closer because that's what Dad wants.

Dad wants the best for the both of us, and once he's gone, we will only have each other. I want you to know that I am proud of you despite all the crappy life choices you've made. You're finally realizing that you need to grow more as a person and show the world your true self.

I know you have it in you to do great things. All you need to do is set a goal and stick to it. You can do whatever you tell your mind to do, so do it. Please, for yourself, and your family who love you dearly.

Call me or text me sometime because I do miss you.

I love you Big Brother.

Love,

Your Little 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.
