5 Reasons Why I Love My Little Brother

Dear Little Brother,

Even though you are taller than me, you are still my little brother — sorry, that's just the way God made you. Having you as my brother has blessed me in a multitude of ways. You were my first sibling, and that's what makes you special. I was actually excited to have a little brother, until you turned about three or four — then I wanted to get rid of you! Okay, I'm just kidding. I love you no matter what, and I would never want to get rid of you!

You are a pest.

I guess that's what God made little brothers for, so that they could pester their sisters all the time and not even think twice about it. But it wouldn't be the same if you didn't pester me and pick on me. It would be boring, actually, because then what would we have to fight and argue about? In other words, thanks for making my life interesting and turning it upside down. (In a good way.)

You make me laugh 24/7.

You do a good job of acting dumb. Sorry, there's no other way to explain it. You are always showing me things on social media that make me laugh until I cry, and you are always doing something crazy that embarrasses yourself, even though you might not realize it. I guess that's what makes you funny.

You are a nerd.

You play video games 24/7, and you will probably have no brain cells by the time you reach adulthood, but that's okay, because I think you have lost quite a few now. This may sound mean, but being a nerd can be a good thing. You are pretty smart, I must admit — I mean, I can't beat the whole game of GTA in one week. You have some potential, little brother!

You are caring.

For a boy, you are very gentle and sweet. Okay that's gross — sorry. But you always hug me when I leave and you seem to care about your sisters very much. I feel like if I was ever in danger, that you would be there to save me or take care of me if you could, and that's a great feeling to have as a big sister. Whether you believe it or not, I think you may even have a soft side under all that toughness.

You will make a great husband someday.

Okay, this may have you thinking, "Whoa, too soon," but I'm serious. Despite being a pest, acting dumb sometimes and even being a little nerdy, I believe you will make your future wife very happy. I mean, I did mention you have a soft side, and women love that. But they also want a man that will protect their family and be there when they need them. I promise if you keep God first, you will succeed at being an amazing husband. After all, God made the man to be the head of the house, and I would expect you to excel in this part of life just because of your personality.

Little brother, I want to end this letter to you with some advice. First and foremost, keep God first and in the center of all your relationships. Second, if you find a woman you love, never stop showing her you love her, be faithful to her and always protect her and care for her needs. (We women are needy sometimes.) Lastly, just keep being yourself and never let anyone pressure you into being something you are not, because who you are right now is pretty great. I love you, little brother!

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.
