To My Not So Little Brother

I know you got this.

To My Not So Little Brother
Temporary Visitors

With graduation fast approaching, it makes me realize how fast time flies. The last thing I knew, we ran barefoot outside all summer long and used each other as human punching bags for no apparent reason (until Mom found out). It feels like I just finished high school, but in reality, I'm far past that, and now, it's your turn to throw the cap.

But I wanted to take a moment to tell you how incredibly proud I am of you. You grew into an amazing human being. You're so intelligent and thoughtful, and you never cease to shock me with your deep personality. Although we don't get much time together lately, each day we do get to talk, I realize more and more how much we're alike - from thoughts and opinions to interests, and even tastes in music.

I can't tell you how excited I am to see where you go from here. Just know where ever you go and whatever you embark on, I will always be right here to cheer you on and offer any advice I can give. I have no doubt in my mind you'll accomplish so many awesome things.

For right now, keep working hard and push through to the end of this final semester. I know how much the motivation fades nearing the end, but if you can put effort into the things you aren't so thrilled about, the things you want to do will be that much more enjoyable.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

You're in good hands, and you have so much life in front of you. I know you got this.

I love you. I'm proud of who you are and what you do. I will always be here for you, 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.
