10 Leslie Knope Compliments You Need To Start Saying To Your Best Friend

There is only one person in your life that you drunkenly confess your love to practically every single time you go out and have a few too many: your best friend. You will tell everybody and their mother how much you love them and how beautiful they are and then you will begin to cry over your undying love for them. Or maybe that is just me? (That's not just me, right?)

Leslie Knope's love for Ann Perkins is like the love you have for your best friend on steroids. It is time for us all to start channeling our inner Leslie Knope and bring rise to the amazing terms of endearment she blessed our lives with during the seasons of "Parks and Recreation." I'm sick of hearing BFF or bae; it's time to start making "beautiful tropical fish" and "poetic noble land mermaid" the norm here. And let's be honest, if your friend can appreciate and accept these compliments the same way Ann does, then you got yourself a BFF keeper.

1. "You beautiful, naive, sophisticated new-born baby."

Where one person might say, "innocent," Knope says this. I dig it.

2. "You are a beautiful, talented, brilliant, powerful musk ox."

When in doubt pick a weird, unlikely animal and compare your best friend to it, because why not?

3. "You poetic and noble land mermaid."

You are lying if you say that you wouldn't want someone to call you this.

4. "You beautiful, rule-breaking moth."

Another example that comparing your best friend to a random animal can turn into quite the term of endearment.

5. "You beautiful spinster."

So pretty much just include the word "beautiful" in your compliment and it will be up to Leslie Knope standards.

6. "You are the most beautiful, glowing sun goddess ever."

Who wouldn't want to be called a sun goddess? No one. That's who.

7. "You cunning, pliable, chestnut-haired sun fish."

You could still use this even if your best friend doesn't have brown hair because I'm pretty sure at this point they won't be paying enough attention to specifics.

8. "Your ambiguous ethnic blend perfectly represents the dream of the American melting pot."

Finding weird ways to compliment your best friend's heritage is what friendship is all about -- am I right?

9. "You perfect sunflower."

The cutest.

10. "You're so brilliant and kind and stupid hot."

This needs to be said to everyone -- always, every day.

Leslie's love for Ann is what we all truly feel for our perfect best friends deep down, so it's time to start asking ourselves WWLKS? (What would Leslie Knope say?)

Thank you for reading you beautiful, majestic sea turtle.

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.
