An Open Letter To My Best Friends

All the things I've wanted to say, but never got the chance to.

An Open Letter To My Best Friends
Favim

I wanted to start off by saying "thank you," but all of the “thank yous” in the world would never be able to express how grateful I am to have you in my life. You pick me up when I fall, and remind me my self-worth. And when everything is going wrong, and I don’t have any answer to my problems, I know you will be there to guide, comfort and support me. Thank you for not always agreeing with me, because looking at your point-of-view on things makes me a well-rounded person. Thank you for telling me when I am wrong and for applauding me when I’m right. Thinking back to all of the times you knew I was wrong but still continued to accept and forgive me, reminds me of how lucky I am to have you all in my life. Your love and acceptance go beyond the words you speak and the advice you give me, but instead goes into my memories where they are stored for all the times I need a reminder of who I am and that the most important people in my life love and support me.

Thank you for turning all of my bad days into good ones. Whether it was a funny Snapchat you send me or a hilarious video on Twitter, it is a guarantee that I will laugh out loud. Thank you for all of the crazy memories, some that I don’t always remember the next day but will laugh at when you remind me. I will forever be grateful for all of the late night talks and confessions, and for just letting me rant non-stop about what’s bothering me. Thank you for never laughing at my crazy ideas and ambitions, but instead cheering me on from the sidelines, and if my ideas are a little too crazy I appreciate your upfront honesty towards me. I will always admire and value your opinion, even if I don’t agree with you. I will take into consideration what you tell me, and even if it might not seem that I took your advice on something, I can guarantee that your voice will pop into my head when I’m faced with a difficult situation.

I promise that I will always be there to pick you up when you fall, and to remind you of who you truly are. I will laugh at your funny videos and Snapchats, and I promise to send one back (regardless if I know you will screenshot them). I will always accept who you are and respect the mistakes you make. When life isn't looking so great for you, I promise to always be there to wipe your tears and remind you that everything will be OK. Most of all, I promise to support, love and help you throughout life. When things go wrong, and you feel as if there is no way out, remember that I’m always here.

Love always,

Your best friend

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.
