To My Long Distance Best Friends And Huge Memories

Distance is not an excuse for a friendship failing.

To My Long Distance Best Friends And Huge Memories
Rachel Daly

Thank you for always being there regardless of the distance between us or how often we speak. Some of you have been in my life for 10 years, others only two. Nevertheless, you are some of my best friends, and I am so grateful for each and every one of you.

When it comes to our individual friendships, each one is unique in its own way. Whether we talk every day or every few months, each friendship is just as strong. I can run to each of you about absolutely anything, and I hope you can do the same. Our disagreements, that almost never occur, blow over in a matter of five minutes. Our conversations range from ghosts and food to depression and anxiety. There is truly never a dull conversation between any of us; we always manage to keep things interesting, even if we do talk every day, all day.

Our memories, I could go on forever about. Whether our memories are made in some exotic location or each of our hometowns, they are always unforgettable. However, showing each one of you around my beloved city or college town is always a blessing. My family knows each of you as their adopted daughters a thousand miles away, and they look forward to you coming for a visit almost as much as I do. But don't get me wrong, I do also love adventuring your lives when it is my turn to hop on a plane.

The best thing about our friendships is that regardless of how often these visits occur, we still remain incredibly close. We do not let the distance or the amount we see one another affect our friendship in any way. Each visit seems to get better and better as we grow older, and I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for our friendships.

Hopefully one day each one of you will be present at my wedding or there at my children's birthday parties as their long-distance aunts, and I hope I'll be at your weddings or children's birthday parties. I say hope only because we always joke about never getting married or having kids. Who knows, maybe we’ll even move closer to one another, but ultimately, I hope our friendship lasts a lifetime. No matter what I will always remain only a phone call away, at all hours of the night.

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.
