An Open Letter to My Person

"You're my sister, you're my family, you're all I've got."

An Open Letter to My Person

Dear "my person,"

"You're my person" A term conceived by Meredith Grey and Christina Yang, TV's greatest friendship power duo.

18 years ago, you were involuntarily made my person. We had no choice but to grow together and to change each others lives. Fortunately, I probably would have chosen you anyway. Although I don't quite remember the first six years of our lives spent together, I do know that little you thought you were going to jail but ever so kindly planted the stolen stress ball in my dresser because somehow I was more equipped for the prison life at 6 years old??? And yes I just called you out, exposing you for what you truly are.

Although you may be a stress ball thief, you are still my stress ball thief. And because I refuse to ever say any of this to you in person, I'm willing to thank you via this letter. So thank you for being my built-in best friend and always encouraging me to strive. Thank you for being so unbelievably inspiring and accomplished that it pushes me to do the same. Thank you for being a phone call away at 3am whenever I need you, and know that that will always be reciprocated. Thank you for judging me and telling me when to get my sh*t together cause I honestly really need that sometimes. Also, thanks for being 4,957 miles away because if you were any closer I'd probably go crazy.

Being on complete opposite ends of the country has made me cherish my life with you 1,000 times more. It makes me so ridiculously grateful that our parents were stupid, but that they were stupid together because if they weren't, one of us would've had to survive these crazy families alone and I can guarantee that's just not possible.

I'm basically trying to tell you, in the most sarcastic and least sappy way as possible, that I love you, and I wouldn't be me without you. I also never would have watched Grey's Anatomy if it wasn't for you and to be honest, I can't tell if that's a good or a bad thing. But regardless, you are my best friend, my better half, my "twisted sister" and my person for the rest of our lives.

Love you to the moon and back sis, and forever remember: "He is not the sun, you are."

Always,

Your Person

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.
