Because I am so thankful for him.

An Open Letter To My Little Brother
Haley Kleimola

To my Younger Brother,

You are wiser then you know. The way that you think over everything you do, just so you make the right decision.

Being a man of God, really inspires me to be to better every single day. I hope I find a husband that is as wise and as loving as you.

You can always make me feel better, always making me laugh whenever I need a pick me up. I am blessed beyond words to have a brother like you, and you are my best friend.

I know that I can come to you with anything, because I know your friends won't care to hear all about my life so I know you wouldn't tell them.

Ever sense you were little, I've always thought you did the things you did and wore the things you wore just because you wanted to be "cool." But now that I think about the past, Lots of people act the same way. Just because we are so worried about what others think. I acted as if I was apart of this world, and not a light unto the world. You have taught me to act as a light in this dark world.

As more things are starting to happen sometimes I think,

What if you weren't my little brother?

What if I didn't ever have someone trying to beat me to the front seat?

What if I never had anyone to wrestle on the floor with?

What if I was the youngest, and I didn't have a little brother?

All of these questions all wind up with the same conclusion.

If I didn't have you, I wouldn't be who I am today.

I am so grateful for all of your encouragement, your love, your sass, and your humor. You bring light to my days, even when I chase you around the house in order to get a good selfie with you. (Which usually doesn't work.)

I am thankful for you, and I am thankful that you are my brother.

Sincerely,

Your annoying, emotional, and stubborn older sister who loves you so much.

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.
