15 Signs You're Accidentally Dating Your Best Friend

1. You hold hands or link arms when you walk. Like, all the time. You don't even know why at this point, it just seems like the thing to do when you're walking.

2. She will reach over and brush something off your face, or play with your hair, or other such gestures.

3. You have definitely spotted each other for food at a coffee shop or restaurant at least once, like a chivalrous gentleman.

4. You share food, by which I mean you literally will use the same fork, water bottle, or french fry etc. without thinking twice about it.

5. There is no such thing as TMI. Did you have tummy troubles today? Is your period being weird? Tell me all about it.

6. You compliment each other. You regularly say or hear "you're so pretty," "you have nice eyes," etc.

7. You have an uncanny ability to know where the other one is at all times.

8. You cuddle. Like, hardcore, I'm-cold-keep-me-warm, head-on-her-shoulder kind of cuddling.

9. You hug all the time, especially that standing-spoon sort of hug. The "I'm-standing-behind-you-and-wrapping-my-arms-around-you" and then stay like that until someone points out you look like a couple.

10. You've slept in the same bed. Story time: I slept over at my best friend's dorm room one time and we ended up sleeping for several hours in the same bed even though I started on the floor.

11. You've probably called each other "bae" or "boo" but you definitely have pet names for each other.

12. You speak in unison. Forget finishing each other's sentences, you literally say them at the same time.

13. You communicate silently. Seriously, you can have a whole conversation just with facial expressions.

14. You love her to the moon and back, up and down, side to side, and to be completely honest any real bae is going to play second fiddle for quite some time.

Last but not least,

15. You can't imagine what life was like before you met. How did you survive without her?

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
