Thank You For Being Like A Brother To Me
Lora Howard

You're my best friend, my brother.

I have known you for our whole life. We have been through so much together, through hell and back. We have argued, fussed, fight but we have always made up. Of course that is going to happen between us because we have known each other for so long. Over 16 years to be exact...

Thank you for always, I mean ALWAYS being there for me. You were there for me for all of my hardest times in life and always have comforted me. From break ups and deaths in my family, you were always there for me to have a shoulder to cry on. Thank you for being there, it means so much to me, more than you'll ever know!

I love how we can just drive and free style or sing about anything or just sit and talk. You have always been a great listener and always willing to talk to me no matter what time of the day it is. Even if its two in the morning you always answer your phone when I call. And I hope you know that you can call me anytime too.

I am so glad we had our graduation party together with our three other friends and families. We were all surrounded by people that we love and I am so glad we got to celebrate our graduation with them. That was so much fun and so memorable.

WE ARE FAMILY.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your family, for calling me your sister. I am so happy and blessed to have your parents as my parents, your older brother as my brother and you as my brother, too. I can always count on you all for anything! My family is your family and your family is my family. I am so blessed that our families are so close and that we can go on vacations together like we have in the past and we need to do it again soon!

Cheering with you was probably the best memories we had in high school together. We always had a good time cheering on the sideline, goofing off and laughing uncontrollably. From our handshakes we made at practice to letting me use your megaphone at the games using my "man voice," those were the good times and years. Sometimes I wish we can go back to the glory days and live it all over again!

Thank you for always being my date at the dances and for always buying my dinner. You were the best date I've ever had! You made the dances more fun because I was going with my brother!

YOUR CHICKEN CASSEROLE IS TO DIE FOR!! (So does our momma's.) Thank you for always making it for dinner when I come over, you know you and I can eat the whole thing!

All in all, thank you, thank you for being my brother even though we aren't blood. You always know what the right things to say to me when I need to hear it. You aren't afraid to be blunt and honest with me even if I don't want to hear it but I still appreciate it. Thank you for always having my back through everything I have gone through in life. Thank you for always having a guest bed for me to sleep in when I don't feel like going home. Thank you for letting me come over unannounced. A huge thank you for never judging me on my poor decisions and choices I've made in my life. You have never judged me once. Thank you for supporting me through school and in life in general. And most importantly,

Thank you for being my best friend. I love you brother.

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.
