We all are born into this world, alone and in this human shell that holds our souls temporarily.

Whether or not we will have a blood-related sibling, is always a surprise and sometimes it's just us. Which in my opinion is okay, always. I was lucky and blessed to have a brother, and I wanted to dedicate this article to him.

Thank you for always being my best friend, for being born into this world the way you are.

I remember posting a picture on my Facebook, and seeing a comment from my former middle school teacher (yes, she was awesome and full of life so we are friends on social media) saying "Isn't it great to have an automatic best friend?" and to think of it like that leveled my perspective on a deeper level.

You end up loving your sibling more than life itself.

To have someone other than your "S.O." or "best girl/boyfriend" has to be the most frustrating, impossible thing to deal with. Yet, you're forced to think and believe they are your go-to for advice, happiness, ego-boosts, someone to be on your side because they are your family.

Your sibling not only becomes you "bestie" or "glimpse of advice on the opposite sex" but someone you can relate to when there are horrors happening within your own family. To have someone around your age, to seek advice, or to observe and wonder if you'll end up like them is always a forever mystery. You tend to compare your failures and successes to their own.

To be born with an automatic best friend is the most comforting feeling, and in my life, this is exactly who I needed to have beside me and to be my sibling. My brother.

For the ones that are an only child, or have faced trauma with a sibling. I wanted to say, you are also blessed and a sign of pure happiness. You carry the only legacy of your family, you hold and become the next generation of your parents. Which makes you all, Kings & Queens vs. the ones who have a brother or sister. You're an automatic source of happiness to someone in your life whether it's your parents or your close friends that surround you and support you as if they were your sibling.

People like myself, admire people who are the only child because at the end of the day it's inspiring to see and have friends who don't have a sibling become some of the best humans in this world and appeal to complete strangers like me, from just a random thought.

Be grateful, be kind, and never be afraid to love the ones that life you up daily. The ones that are your support system. The ones who are born next to you in this life, or years after. The ones that you can call family, or blood even when they aren't are the reasons why we should appreciate them as if they are "automatic best friends" because after all, we are born alone and die alone.

So live, laugh and love.
