An Open Letter To My Little Brothers

The best friends I'll ever have.

An Open Letter To My Little Brothers
Skylar Ray

I really can't imagine not having you in my life. Even though we fight and argue about many things, you will always be some of my very best friends. I may be older than you, but I look up to all of you all in so many ways. You are growing into such great guys and I am so proud of you.

As your older sister, I feel like I have some kind of responsibility when it comes to looking out for you. That means that I will always be a little nosey. I will always want to know who your friends are and what girls you talk to. No girl will ever be good enough for you in my eyes. So, when I am bothering you with questions about your girlfriend, remember that. I have good intentions, I promise.

So many things about you amaze me, even when I don't show you that. You are so talented and bright and will do so many great things as you get older. I see so many qualities in you that I wish I had. You are so kind and have talents that impress me every single day. Each of you have such different personalities. You have different strengths and ways you do things and that's such an awesome thing. I have loved watching each of you become your own person and it's been such a blessing.

My childhood was never boring because of the three of you. There has always been some kind of noise in our house, whether it be yelling or loud music or the sound of video games coming from the room next to mine. Even though there have been times that I've wished I had a sister to put makeup on, I really am thankful that I have you. It's pretty nice being the only girl and having you guys to laugh at.

I secretly have enjoyed going to your sporting events. I think I have been exposed to more sports than most girls. From cross country races to basketball games, I have enjoyed every minute of it. I love watching football on Sunday's and hearing you share your opinions about the best player in the game. I know so much about sports, hunting and old music because of you boys and I think it's a pretty cool thing.

There are so many pieces of advice I could give you about growing up. As the older sister, I have seen it all. I have made my own mistakes and I can only hope that you learn from yours like I have from mine. Always know that you're loved more than you know. You each of qualities and talents that I would love to have myself. You are each so bright and funny and I never want you to forget that. Stay true to the things you believe and never forget how Mom and Dad have taught us to be.

Remember those lessons from Dad about being a man and working hard. Remember things Mom has told you about dressing well and doing your best in school. They are the absolute best and we have been so blessed to have them as our parents. Even when we don't see it, they know what's best and are usually always right.

I hope you follow my advice about how to treat a lady with respect and how to stand up for yourself no matter what. Don't let other people bring you down and never let another person make you feel like you need to change who you are. You are who you are for a reason and I think you are all three pretty awesome people.

If there is one thing I want you to know, it's that I am so blessed that God made me your sister. I had such an amazing childhood because of you, even if I don't show it. Of course, we fight and drive each other crazy, I mean that's what siblings do. We argue and make fun of one another, but it's all out of love.

I am so proud of you guys for who you are now and who you are becoming. I can't wait to see what God has planned for you. No matter how successful you become, remember that I will always be a step ahead; I will always be your older sister you know. Even though you will all be bigger and stronger than me, I will still find my way to win.

That's my job as your big sis. I have those years of experience that you don't and I will always be willing to help you. I love you so much and I can't wait to keep getting older with you three by my side. I am so lucky to have you three as my brothers and best friends.

Love you always,

Your Big Sis

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.
