You Need A Brother

The true meaning of brotherhood is very plain and simple but when put into action can be a difference maker to an individual's life. The love your brother gives you is not always said and rightfully so the word love should not always be said. When the word "brother" is used it is not always your blood brothers which luckily for myself my blood brothers are my brothers. I do have brothers that are not related to me in any type of way but have built a strong bond that probably won't be broken like my blood brothers.

Brothers do not quit on you in your low points in life. No matter how bad you mess up they are there to support you and get you back on your feet. When you do get back on your feet they are still helping with every step you take even if you have reached a high point in life. A real brother is selfless when it comes to you, they will offer enough to you so that you can keep improving. When they do offer you help, the thought of you getting better is enough for them to not ask for any favors in return.

Your brother will be completely honest and not always agree with you. Your brother will always look out for you and if they feel that what you're doing is not right they will let you know. Your brothers may not always be right but there is always truth in what they say to you if they truly care for you. They are the ones who even if they are miles away will still check up on you.

Finally, a brother will never envy your success. They will want you to be the best you possibly can be even if it means you have more accolades at something you both did. Your brother will offer great advice and always wish the best for you no matter what. Your brothers will never compare you to another brother and in their eyes every successful thing you do is a victory for them because they most likely played a vital role in your life to get you to where you are at even if they never say it.

*Brotherhood and sisterhood go hand in hand. All of these aspects are interchangeable dependent on the type of organization.

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.
