50 Reasons Why LDF Are Harder Than LDR

Being away from your best friend may actually be harder than being away from your boyfriend.

50 Reasons Why LDF Are Harder Than LDR

Here are 50 things that happen when you’re in a long distant friendship:

1. You are sending massive amounts of screenshots because you can’t just hand
them your phone to show your most recent drama.

2. Because of these said screenshots, you are constantly deleting photos from your phone because your storage is getting full.

3. Sending five texts in a row is completely normal…

4. You can rely on them to answer each and every one of them, too

5. Did you actually even do anything important today if you didn’t update your
best friend about it?


6. No one will ever take your top spot on Snapchat. As long as you’re miles
apart, your best friend will be number 1. (Have you ever gotten the pink
heart next to their name?)

7. You can’t go to your favorite restaurant because it’s not the same without
them


8. You don’t race out of work as fast as you did when you had plans with them.

9. You now have to send them pictures of your new crush. It’s the only way they
can know who you’re talking to. (And sometimes pictures aren’t the most
flattering)

10. They know what’s best for you, even if you don’t want to agree to it.


11. You have to plan Facetime calls around each others schedule.

12. Then the connection is terrible and you just keep calling and get nowhere
with your conversation.

13. But they are always the first person you decide to call when you have to walk
a far distance and want to look busy.

14. You can’t show up at their house just to vent about your most recent
situation.

15. There is no one who will actually wait for you to try everything on while
shopping and give their most honest opinion.


16. You’re forever low key jealous of their roomies because they’re around her
all the time.

17. There are no more spontaneous adventures with the best playlist you both
know every lyric to.


18. She knows the in’s and outs of every boy that has ever walked into your life.

19. You text her more than you text the guy you like and your mom, combined.

20. You have been friends so long you can talk through your eyes. (And use it to
your advantage)


21. When you take a picture you already know which side you’ll both be on.

22. No one knows your favorite things like they do.

23. Other people don’t understand those weird songs on your phone like they do.

24. When you figure out how many days are left until you see each other is better
than knowing how many days there are until Christmas.


25. You begin making a bucket list of things you want to do when you’re with
each other next.

26. There is no one else you can do absolutely nothing with and not feel like you
have to entertain them.

27. You could actually just have them get comfy on your bed while you clean
your room and it’s fine.

28. They are someone you’ll never get into a fight with.

29. They think you’re funny when no one else does, and they laugh at all your
jokes.


30. They listen to everything you say, and when they’re not, they’ll admit it.

31. They see how much you have grown as a person while you have been away
from each other.

32. They fully accept your laziness. But they know when it’s time to say enough is
enough and to get your work done.

33. When you feel like you’re about to fall apart, they are right there to comfort
you at any time of the day.


34. And they help you plot a plan for revenge on who hurt you.

35. They know when you’re too good for him.

36. They keep your secrets that not another soul knows.


37. You can say absolutely anything and you are not judged at all.

38. You can keep their clothes for months on end and they don’t ask for it back.
Sometimes they just have to steal it back.

39. An old memory popping into your head is always an acceptable reason to call
them.

40. People-watching is so much better when you’re with your best friend.

41. It’s okay that your stories or rants last a little too long.

42. You can always count on a good morning or goodnight text from them.

43. Saying goodbye to them is harder each time

44. But every reuniting is better than ever.

45.They remind you that sometimes you need to have a little fun.

46. But not too much fun, because they can't be with you.

47. You are the best version of yourself when you are around them.

48. While you’re away from each other, you’re planning your future with them,
not a guy.

49. They are your soul mate.

50. You could not imagine your life without them.


You could bring your best friend anywhere and everything would work out. But for
now, you can’t be with them everyday. But being away, only makes your bond
stronger and it will always give you something to look forward to. Here’s to the best
friends who once came into your life and never left your side.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
