When You Give A Girl A Brother, You Give A Blessing In Disguise

They may be gross and annoying, but they are also your best friend.

When You Give A Girl A Brother, You Give A Blessing In Disguise
Kaylyn Atchison

When you give a girl a brother, you give her a best friend. You give her someone to run to the gas station with, someone to hang out with, someone to be a role model to. When you give a girl a brother, you give her a protector. You give her someone to be protected by, someone to judge every guy she ever brings home, and someone to make sure she is always safe. When you give a girl a brother, you give her a teacher. You give her someone to teach her how to fish, how to hunt, and how to be a tomboy. When you give a girl a brother, you give her a new life.

Having a brother is one of the best and possibly worst things that can happen to someone. They teach you how to do things, they help you, the protect you, and they help you experience a new life. The worst things about having a brother is fighting (fist fighting), sometimes annoying, and gross. Although having a brother is awesome, we don't realize it soon enough,

My brother has put me in headlocks, hit me, and called me names he didn't mean. But, he has also asked me to go with him to the gas station, go out and get food with him, and watch movies with him. Some days, he is too busy for family; some days, he'd rather be with his friends or fishing. But sometimes, he'd rather hang out at home and watch a movie or grab some food with you.

When you give a girl a brother, you give her a blessing in disguise. He will always be there for you even if you ditched him one time for your friends or you made him mad because you got your fishing line stuck. He may roughhouse with you, he may push you around and call you names, he may test your patience, but that is what brothers are for. They are there to help you throughout life and help teach you any lesson they can through many ways whether it be through annoyance, fun, or rough housing.

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.
