You know exactly how to get on my nerves, but never forget how much I love you.

An Open Letter To My Little Brother

Dear Little Brother,

Right now you are probably doing something to annoy me or plotting to do something to annoy me. That is just how things are. You know exactly how to get on every single nerve I have within me. Regardless of all the arguments we get into, I would not give you up for anything. You mean so much to me. You bring so much happiness into my life.

I was an only child for ten years begging Mom and Dad to make a sibling for me. It was lonely, and then one day I got the best news. I was finally going to have a sibling, a baby brother of my very own. Finally, after ten years of waiting and begging I got my brother. I still remember the day you were born and how happy I was to meet you. I was the very first person to hold you, and as I looked down at your sweet face, tears pooled in my eyes. That day changed my life forever.

I am not only your sister. I am your supporter, role model and protector too. We are always there for each other when we need it the most. When Mom and Dad just do not understand what is going on, I am there for you. I am your shoulder to cry on. We stick together. That is what siblings are for.

Someday you are going to get older and start maturing into an amazing young man. You are going to learn things and be tested. I will be there for you through all of it. Even though I cannot always be there for you physically, you can always reach out to me. I will give you advice. You are going to struggle. There will be bad days, and good days also. No matter what though, you can depend on me. When a girl is playing with your heart and you just cannot seem to figure out what to do, I will guide you. You are going to experience failure, but I will be there to let you know that you have to get back up and try again. You cannot let anything get you down. You are in control of your life. We were not raised to give up.

You are getting older every time I see you. Big changes are coming for you soon, but I know you can handle it. You are my little brother, no matter how old you get. Whenever you need me, I will be there. We may not always get along, but at the end of the day we are siblings, and siblings have to be there for one another.

I could have never asked for a more perfect brother. You always know how to make me laugh when I am down. I would not trade you for anything. You have lit up my life since 2007. I am so thankful for you. Do not ever forget how much I care about you.

Life is a journey. A lot of things can happen, but one thing you should always know is that I love you, and I am here for you.

Love,

Your Big 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.
