An Open Letter To My Best Friend

Sometimes we just really need to acknowledge our ride-or-die girls.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend

There are probably around a million and five articles out there about best friends and why "mine is way better than yours." Well, consider this one the million and sixth article, because sometimes people need to hear just how much they mean to us.

Dear Best Friend,

You are the person I turn to for absolutely everything, big or small, and that means the world to me. I'm not sure how long I could live without being able to tell someone my exact, step-by-step thought process about overthinking something that won't be important in 2 months. You save me from my own insanity, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Sitting back and thinking about an awesome memory from a spur-of-the-moment adventure is great, but being able to think back to the nights all we did was drink wine, watch movies, and bitch is even better. I remind myself that it's okay if we don't go out and do something, because the party is right wherever we are. We laugh, cry, and ugly-Snapchat away the night, and honestly, I'd rather be doing that over anything else (most of the time—we gotta stop being such homebodies).

We have a great time just driving to breakfast and dancing in the car like complete imbeciles because, who cares if anyone sees? We look adorable doing it, and we have no intention of stopping. Catching up after an absence of a couple days or a couple months is slightly obsolete, only because we might not see each other every day, but we sure as hell do text on the reg. Except face to face, we can see each other's exact expressions when we talk about something we definitely shouldn't have done (it so seemed like a good idea at the time).

Every best friend relationship is different—they grow from being new friends, to good friends, to best friends, to basically being sisters. Every step of the way to you becoming my family has been emotional, exciting, nerve-wracking, and absolutely beautiful.

I have absolutely zero idea what I would do without you, and I have no intention of ever finding out. Sorry love, you're sorta stuck with me, and I know we wouldn't have it any other way.

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.
