March 31, 2016 marks the 21st anniversary of Selena’s death. It’s the darkest day for Selena fans – something her brother recently spoke out about. On his Instagram page, he explained that the last day in March is just filled with painful memories.

“They say that losing a loved one gets easier with time,” he wrote. “Not for me. Many call March 31st an anniversary. I don’t. It marks another year without an incredible person I call my sister.”

For fans, it’s certainly another opportunity to show that La Reina’s legacy is forever. This year, we’re celebrating Selena’s legacy by looking back at 10 rare videos – a little more than 35 minutes – of Selena goofing off, cooking French toast, and dancing like Michael Jackson.

Check out the videos below and try not to be charmed:
