22 Promises to My Long Distance Best Friends

Best friends forever are never apart, maybe in distance but never at heart. I love you both even though you live far away now. Like all long distance relationships, the long distance best friendship takes work. (I'm not saying it’s harder than a long distance romance, but it’s harder than a long distance romance.) But, no matter what stupid places you guys live in, I have some promises for you.

1. I will try to make all of our FaceTime dates.

2. When one of us flakes out, I will trust that we're still BFFs even though we suck at communication!

3. If the call gets dropped, or FaceTime has a poor connection, we don't need to call back. We take forever to get off the phone, anyway!

4. I will only complain a little about the weird place that you now live in.

5. I will always check your Snapchat story so that we can simulate living in the same place as much as possible.

6. My other friends will know all about you, whether they like it or not.

7. I will try to learn the names and faces of all of your new friends so that I know who you're complaining about.

8. I will also get a handle on my jealousy for when I see you Instagramming your brunch with some other friend.

9. Even though brunch is totally our thing.

10. I promise to always give you romantic advice, even when I've never met the guy so I can't grill him in person.

11. And you will be hearing every detail of all my romantic possibilities because your long distance approval is still required.

12. You will also still be required to weigh in on all haircuts, piercings, and new exercise regimes.

13. I will always try to remember that you have a life and not freak out if you don’t text me back right away. (Oh god it's been ten minutes, is she dead?)

14. I promise to always make time to watch Netflix with you over FaceTime.

15. I will always text you when I remember our weird inside jokes because my other friends won’t understand what 2 a.m. humor means.

16. I will always be there if you're having a crisis.

17. And I will always call you if I'm having a complete and total meltdown because I know that you miss me and my drama.

18. I will also call you if I have a brilliant idea for something because I know that you'd want to hear all about it.

19.When I do finally get to see you, I promise to ditch all my other friends for you.

20. We will make the most of our time together, even if it's just hours of dumb TV and sitting on the floor giggling.

21. And I promise to always be so happy to see you that everyone around us is slightly embarrassed.

22. And, of course, I promise to be your best friend forever, no matter where you go or how bad your Internet connection is. But you already knew that!

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.
