336 Miles

Distance doesn't matter because she is my person

336 miles.

Five hours and 45 minutes.

But those are just numbers.

Best friends will stick with you through thick and thin, and that's how you know they are real friends. Making friends and then moving away is hard, but when you have a best friend like mine distance doesn't matter.

My best friend is my rock, she's crazy and annoying and beautiful and I love her more than anything. She's basically my soul sister. She helped me get through starting a new school, she was my first friend there, and she helped me get through having to pack up and leave her. Even though we live so far away from each other, we still make regular trips back and forth whenever we get the chance. I only see her for a few days every couple of months but that doesn't change anything between us.

We can go weeks without talking and pick right back up where we left off. People will enter and exit your life at the most unexpected times and she entered mine when I needed her the most. And I hope she never leaves because without her I would be lost.

We basically lived together the first full summer I lived there and we worked together and pretty much the same schedule. Some days she would have to work late and show up at my house at 1 A.M and come jump on my bed to tell me good morning. She had her own side of the closet, her own drawer, and her own side of the bathroom. On pay days we would go to Walmart and stock up on lunch items for the next 2 weeks. When we had good paycheck we would go on best friend dates and go to the movies or out too eat.

I miss her crazy self so much.

We were meant to be best friends. From day one we just clicked, and even though we get on each other's nerves most of the time she's still going to be there for me and I'll always be there for her. She has been an absolute blessing and I thank God everyday that He put her in my life when He did. We both ended up getting tickets to the same concert and didn't know about it until a few days later, and I think that was God giving us a chance to see each other because neither of us had been in the best moods and we really needed the other. We both have decided to go to the same college, and we didn't know until I asked her while I was filling stuff out. The fact that I get to be close to my best friend everyday in just a few short months makes me more than happy.

I could easily go on and on about how absolutely amazing my best friend is but then I would never be able to finish this because there is an endless number of reasons as to why she my person. Because who else could I talk to about a new guy every few days and then not think I'm crazy because she's just as crazy as I am.

She means more to me than she will ever know.

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.
