To My Brother's Girlfriend, Don't Hurt Him

Stop pretending like you are the only thing that he sees. You're not. You are just his girlfriend.

Just because you're dating my brother doesn't mean that you know him. What's his favorite color? What does he hate? What makes him mad? Who's his favorite band? Have you seen him mad, like actually angry? Have you seen him cry? What makes him upset? Who does he turn to for help?

I can assure you that it isn't you. I can also assure you that you don't know the answers to these questions. Stop acting like you are so important. Stop pretending like you are the only thing that he sees. You're not. You are just his girlfriend. That is all. Does that mean that you'll never become more? Who knows. I don't. You don’t. He doesn't even know. You see, the thing with him is that he doesn't look very far into the future unless it's about his football career. Truth is, I probably don't like you. Don't get upset if you find that out one day. He's my brother. He's my dude. He's one of my best friends. He's the little kid that I would mess with. He's the person that I can scare the best. He's the person I hug every night before I go to sleep. I know him.

So when you're FaceTiming him and I walk into his bedroom, don't be rude. I can turn you off. I can make him hate you. I will find so much dirt on you that he will never be able to look at you the same. I'm friends with a lot of his "girlfriends." They will tell me all about you. I say all of that to say this… Don't hurt him. Just don't do it. He has the biggest heart, and when he falls down it take a lot to get him back up. He's my gentle giant. If you say one - one wrong word about him, I will ruin your life. You will hate me so much that when you see him, you will think of me. Don't try it. You are just a stepping stop to his future wife. Nothing more than that. He doesn't need you to survive, but he needs me. He tells me everything. I will know what you do. If you cause his life to suck, even for a couple of days, I'm coming for you. You will be miserable. He's just a boy to you, but he's the boy that my world revolves around. He is my world. He holds my heart in the palm of his hand. You mean nothing to me, but you will mean something to him.

You will be a small chapter in his life. You will add or take away a piece of him. Don't try to change him. Don't tell him what you don't like about him. Your opinion does not matter. So if he hurts your feelings - tell him, not your friends. I can promise that he will feel bad and apologize. If your friends think that he has hurt you - they will say things, terrible unrealistically false things, about him. I know. I've been caught in some bad rumors. But those false accusations can haunt you and him for a very long time. So don't let anyone else hurt him either. I will take down a small village in an hour for him. Don't test me. My love for that jerk is unconditional and I will fight anyone over him.

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.

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.
