Yes, I was letting you win all those games on purpose.

Things You Forget To Tell Your Brother
Cailyn Pacuraru

Sometimes we don't say out loud the things that really matter. And we definitely don't end up saying them to our little brothers. We watch them grow up in front of our eyes and never say what we really want to, because getting sappy with your brothers means letting out all of these memories of mischief and fun. And suddenly there's so many memories that you can barely handle all the melancholic feelings of both the good and bad times you've had, and you just have to tell your brothers everything you've never said.

1. When I tell you to "grow up", I don't really mean it.

2. I'm sorry for sitting on the remote or putting it down my shirt so you couldn't get it.

3. Sometimes, I genuinely want to hang out with you, even if you are eight years younger than me.

4. I'm sorry for ever embarrassing you in front of your friends...

5. And calling you names (like "Germ")...

6. And punching you in the stomach when I got too mad.

7. You're the best partner in crime.

8. I'm sorry I laughed at you when you fell down the stairs...

9. And I'm sorry for not helping you with your bloody nose afterwards.

10. Thanks for taking the blame for some of the things I did...

11. Like when I got chocolate on mom's white tablecloth and you said it was your fault.

12. Your grades in school aren't the most important thing...

13. WHO YOU ARE is the most important thing.

14. Thanks for letting me borrow your sweater...for five years.

15. No matter what you do, you know I have your back.

16. Thank you for giving me all-access to your fancy headphones...

17. And for not getting mad when I accidentally broke them.

18. I'm sorry for getting mad every time you came into my room...

19. And for every time I barged into yours.

20. I'm basically half a parent to you.

21. Yes, I embarrass you on purpose.

22. I boss you around because I have your best interest at heart.

23. I'm sorry I made you play with Barbies (even though you secretly liked it).

24. I'm proud of you for knowing who you want to be.

25. You make me the happiest sister.

26. Thank you for never really judging me.

27. And even though I never say it, you know how much I love you.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
