An Open Letter To The Girls My Brothers Marry
Tiffany Grace Bianco

Hi there,

To you, I may just be the future evil sister-in-law, but I promise, it's nothing personal. When it comes to a sister's brothers, I'm bound to get over-protective and I may come off as mean, but really, I just love my brothers to the moon and back a billion times over.

Best friends, partners in crime, at times enemies, but most of the time they're truly my people.

Trust me, girlfriend, there is nothing in the world that will wedge the relationship that my brothers and I have. You could move him 100 million miles away and you will still not get rid of me. I will always be in your life. Why? Because you chose to marry an only sister's brothers. That's one pretty special and strong bond. You could be together for 24 years, but remember I will have known him for 18 more years than you. If there is any person who knows him more, it's me.

So, save the, "Oh, I love when ____ does this," or, "___ always does this," or, "Did you know ____ read all the 'Harry Potter' books in a week?"

Yes, I know. I was the one in the desk next to him when he wrote out every spell to 'Harry Potter' and saved it in a notebook! I know he wears the same shirt for three days! I've lived with them for 18 years. I know everything there is to know about these people. And trust me honey, as much as you may think you know, I've been their super secret keeper since age embryo.

Now as protective as I will always be of my brothers, I want you to know that I will always love and respect you. You truly got lucky. My brothers are the best people I've ever met in my life and any girl would be the luckiest girls in the world to have them be apart of their life. Even though they're immature, extremely messy and sometimes just straight dorks, they're going to make your lives truly incredible. I've shed more tears laughing with them than I have shed sad tears on their shoulders after a bad day. They've seen me heartbroken and have seen me not be treated how they want so trust me, I've got them whipped into total husband material. They are such amazing human beings and have the biggest hearts. I'm so thankful to have grown up with these beautiful souls and I'm so happy that you can experience them as well. They helped shape me into the strong person I am today and I can't imagine my life now and ever without them in it. I hope you appreciate them as much as I do because every day I love them more.

So, thank you for loving my brothers. They deserve a lifetime of endless happiness. I've always imagined them being with a girl who makes them happy every single day of their lives. I really hope you can live up to the high expectations I have for my brother's wives but I have no doubts you won't. I'm really not the evil sister-in-law I make myself out to be. Just an only sister who was spoiled by her brothers her whole life and loves them more than anything in the world.

Love them through the hard times and the good times, and I promise to be there for you guys through it all.

Love,

The Not So Evil Sister-In-Law

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.
