30 Things To Tell Your Friends They're Loved, Appreciated, and Valued
Chris Robison

Kind words can brighten anyone's day. I can think of numerous times a kind word from a friend turned my entire day around. Let your friends know how much they mean to you, here are some ideas of simple things to say.

  1. Text or call me when you get home so I know you’re safe.
  2. You look great!
  3. I love that dress (shirt, shoes, scarf, etc). It fits your personality perfectly.
  4. I know you’re having a hard time lately, do you need to talk?
  5. I admire your determination.
  6. You’re someone I’m proud to know.
  7. Good morning, I hope you have a lovely day!
  8. Thanks for the positive influence you’ve had on my life.
  9. Seeing you brightens my day!
  10. I’m really struggling with this, could you help me?
  11. Hey, I’m grabbing coffee what can I get you?
  12. I’m reading a book I think you’d love. I’ll bring it to you next time we get together!
  13. What are you struggling with right now and how can I help?
  14. Thank you for everything you do!
  15. You’re a wonderful asset to this company (job, organization, class, group).
  16. I appreciate your hard work!
  17. You’re a wonderful friend to me and many others.
  18. You really care about the projects that you participate in!
  19. Thanks for listening!
  20. Thanks for making sure we have time together!
  21. I’ve noticed how patient you are with others, even when it’s hard.
  22. You always try to look on the bright side of things.
  23. You’re a fabulous cook (dancer, singer, knitter, etc).
  24. I’m excited that I get to be here with you as you accomplish your goals.
  25. You’ve helped contribute to who I am today, thank you.
  26. I know this is a busy time for both of us, but I’d love to catch up, when are you free?
  27. I found a new band I think you’ll love, I’ll send you a link!
  28. Can you give me some advice, I know you handled a similar problem?
  29. Remember when we…? That was such a fun time!
  30. Thanks for being my friend!
It can be so easy to get caught up in life and just assume our friends and family know how much we care about them. These examples are some of the things that I have thought about my friends or even words that had been said to me in the past. Think about the people that matter in your life, and tell them how you feel about them. It can be as simple as sending them a link to something you know they’ll enjoy or shooting them a quick text of appreciation. There are only positive outcomes of loving others more.

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.
