Why Two Best Friends Are Greater Than One

Why Two Best Friends Are Greater Than One
Ashton Overby

Having a multitude of friends is great. I am able to see the different diversities that people have and be around so many different personalities. Some of my friends are really introverted, while others are extroverted. Through these different types of people, I am glad to say that I have found a few that I can call my best friend. These are the people that I know I can always turn to and they will always be there for me.

I have heard time and time again that you can only have one best friend. This is furthest from the truth. Having more than one best friend is perfectly normal. Each best friend holds a special place in your heart. Each best friend has a different reason for being in your life. They all mean something dear to you. Even if one is with you at college and another is back at home, they both have different assets that are valuable to you. Knowing you always have someone to call whenever and wherever is such a precious feeling, and knowing you are that same person for them as they are for you is just as satisfying.

So why are they my best friends? Why can these people so different than me mean so much to me? These girls have become some of the best parts of me. Not only have I completely opened up to them about my life, but they have showed me that I can truly trust them with my life. Whether I have had a horrible day and need someone to listen to me cry, or I am just bored and do not want to sit and eat Goldfish alone -- these girls are always there. Having more than one best friend is wonderful because I know I always have two girls in my corner. I know that even when I am down, I have at least two people to try and pick me up. I would take the two best friends I have, over a million average friends any day. So take a minute and realize exactly who your best friends are. Tell them you love them and make sure they know it.

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.
