7 Things Only Best Friends Will Understand

I mean, am I right?

You've been together since you can remember. You went to the same kindergarten, the same elementary school, the same penitentiary and you may have even come out of the same womb! Here's seven things only the best of best friends can relate to.

1. You've made at least two blood pacts since you've met.

No one can call their favorite pal a "best friend" unless they've done this one. It's a tell-tale sign that you two are in it for the long haul. You know the drill: You both draw a small amount of blood from each friend, mix it, say a small prayer to the death god Cthulu and cheers! This one's sure to come up when you and your pal are in a tight spot with the cartel!

2. You synchronize your respiration patterns.

What better way to let everyone one around you know that you're besties than by spending hours, days, even weeks meticulously timing and synchronizing the rate at which you breathe. Some find it unnerving, but others find it terrifyingly cute! With each exhale, your best bud inhales. That's so friendly it's almost poetic!

3. You've committed a felony together.

What better way to spend a Friday afternoon with your pal than by engaging in high risk, high reward criminal activity? It's not so much about the grand larceny as it is about quality time with your favorite person in the whole world. You even share a joint Swiss bank account — that's true friendship.

4. You've both agreed to wear a shock collar that doesn't allow you to be farther than 10 feet apart at any one time.

OK, so you're a little protective, but that's OK, your bestie is too! You both wear the shock collar, but you just know it's unnecessary. You'll never leave each other's side. Except that one time. But Christine learned her lesson. She'll never leave again. Ever.

5. You find it hard to use the bathroom without your bestie nearby.

This one really hits home with me. I could never manage to pee unless I knew that my best friend was nearby, standing guard and cheering me on. Thanks to my pal, I went from being a pee introvert to a pee extrovert!

6. You have learned, and can recite by memory, their entire life story.

It's second nature by now. You have drilled and repeatedly studied the most minute of details of your bestie's life. You can pretty much write a psychoanalytic profile of them by now — everything from their birthstone to their favorite color to the shirt they were wearing on their 15th birthday. Creepy? No, caring!

7. You both love the same kind of music.

Like, am I right? Best friends!

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.
