Keep Doing Better Than Everyone Expects

Dear Sibling,

I do not really know where I am even supposed to start with this other than you are truly really something else. Society strongly under-appreciates you and others like you because they do not understand how intelligent you really are. And man, are you smart. you know more than me and majority of the people who I'm surrounded by. If anyone is capable of changing the world or making any sort of difference, you will be the one to do it.

Society underestimates how much you are actually capable of doing, but in your mind, you are on top of everyone else and you are better than everyone else when it comes to anything you enjoy and set your mind to, and I hope that will never change about you. I already know that if someone tells you that you cannot do something, you will do it, and you will do it a hundred times better than they ever expected.

Growing up with you taught me that no matter how angry you got or how frustrated you would get, that the only way to put up with you was through patience, and to this day, I still have to have patience with you because everything I do should be done differently in your eyes, and you must explain to me why it has to be done that way. So thanks for putting me through the mini lectures on how something should correctly be done until I completely understood your mind. Which by the way, I guarantee you, I will never fully understand how you know everything that you do and how easily you can remember it. I still do not get how you can know all the things you do and everything you know how to do. Still waiting for the day you agree to do my homework for me..

You are basically my best friend at home and I know you low-key enjoy it when I am "annoying" you when it comes to anything and everything, even when you tell me that you are busy and do not have the time for it.

I will be waiting for the smart remarks and I hope you will be expecting some more of me "annoying" you.

Thanks for being the different person everyone needs in their life,

Your Sibling

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.
