All of us have one, or a few, of those people in our life who don't simply fit the label of "friend." Sometimes a bond is so strong that you guys start to become one person. It's like you were destined to find each other. Those are the best types of friendships. The ones where you spend 90% of the day together and spend the other 10% briefly passing by to say "Hi" to your actual family. But sometimes you guys can be too close, and these are a few signs suggesting that just might be the case.


1. You call each other's parents "Mom" and "Dad"

You’re basically part of the family at this point and their front door is always open to you. You're also probably the one their parents call if they can't find their daughter.

2. You know the details of each other’s bodily functions

Details of what happens in the bathroom don’t stay in the bathroom.

3. Your significant other is more excited to see them than they are to see you sometimes

They are basically an extension of you, if that makes you feel any better.

4. You take jokes a little too far and it’s not weird

Things that would get you weird looks if you said to anyone else are just part of a daily conversation with them.

5. You have matching articles of clothing

And you know you when they have new ones.

6. You finish each other’s food, drinks, and sentences

They are always there to finish the rest of those fries or your drink at the bar to make sure you’re not wasting a single penny.

7. You are the first to know EVERYTHING that's happening in their love lives

Whether that be the boy they are talking to, the boy they find cute in class or the boy that doesn’t even exist.

8. You're always on the same page

All it takes is one look to know what the other person is thinking.

9. You share all of your possessions with them naturally

What's mine is yours and what's yours is mine... everything is really just ours.

10. You guys spend more time in each other’s beds than your own

Watching tv shows, showing each other funny videos, scrolling through Instagram in silence... it’s just more convenient.

11. You always grab them the food they love if you see it while you’re out

Because seeing their face light up when they have new junk food to snack on brings as much joy to you as it does to them.

12. You’re rarely ever out alone, though, because you travel as a unit

Your other friends basically to refer to you as one person.

13. You’ve started keeping track of the memories you will use to embarrass them at their wedding and to their children

Because what better time to embarrass them than in front of the people who should respect them the most.

14. You have adopted their signature phrases and mannerisms

Somehow things you never said two months ago have become part of your daily vocabulary.

15. 90% of your camera roll includes them

Embarrassing pictures, organized photo shoots, you need to capture every moment.

16. You’ve planned the rest of your lives together

Because there’s no one else you’d rather live or explore the world with than your best friend.

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.
