You may be bigger than I am, but you're still my little brother.

An Open Letter To My Little Brother
mcall

Little brother, I love you. As much as we fight and argue, I do. You were my first best friend. Even though you tried to get me to wrestle and play football and I as much as I dressed you up growing up, you'll always low-key be my best friend.

I will always be your biggest fan at anything you do whether it's sports or school or what. I will be there just as much as mom and more than any silly girl you're with. On that subject, I will never approve of any girl you're with. No girl is good enough for my little brother.

You're going to grow up and make your own decisions, I know you'll make them wisely. You make questionable choices sometimes, like whether or not you should wear a certain shirt, but I have faith in you. I've always bossed you around, and honestly that will probably never stop. I want the best for you even though it doesn't always seem like it.

I want to apologize. You won't hear me say i'm sorry much so take this for granted. I'm sorry that we fight. I'm sorry we but heads and disagree. I'm sorry for the silly pictures I take of you and how much I embarrass you. I'm sorry that I usually get my way and that you're usually the one who makes sacrifices and not me. I want to thank you. Thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you for encouraging and supporting me. Thank you for the piggy back rides and teaching me how to fish. Thank you for carrying the heavy things and getting the cup off of the top shelf for me. Thank you for being you.

This is for my little brother. I’m the only person who will ever be able to love and hate you at the same time. You’re going to grow up and move out, but you will never be able to get rid of me, the memories will always be there. You may be bigger and stronger than I am but you're still my baby brother.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
