The Letter That Was Never Given

To the brother who always remembers the friends and not the family.

The Letter That Was Never Given

Dear older brother,

There is always going to be one thing to fight about with a sibling, but in the end you will always be family. You can fight and say you hate one another but at the end of the day you are still family. Sometimes people do not realize what they have until it is all gone and you cannot go back and fix it. So, to you, older brother I want you to know that I am still your little sister and always will be. I am here for you even though you do not want me to be. I feel the sorrow that you lack to see. I accept you for the person you are, but wish you could be better. When someone is in so deep over their head they look for a way out, but sometimes that way out is right in front of you. Family will always be there in the end even after you have pushed them away. Sometimes you just need to think about the thing in life that makes you happy, and not the things that keep you down. When you have given up on yourself just know I will always be there waiting to help. You cannot help the people that do not want to be helped. Feeling lonely will happen, but you need to remember the good things in life when you are feeling down. I have not given up on you, so you should not give up on yourself. You might have screwed up more than once, but you can always come back to a new start. You do not always have to do things the hard way. People understand if you mess up a couple of times, but it just gets repetitive after awhile. Sometimes you just need to get away from your so called “friends” because they are the ones that are bringing you down. Friends will say they are there for you until they need to throw someone under the bus instead of themselves. Just because someone hangs around with you and goes to places with you does not mean they won’t put themselves before you, especially when they could be getting into trouble. These are just some of the things that needed to be said so there it is.

From,

Your Little 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.
