Dear (Insert Name Here),

We have known each other ever since Pre-K. We started talking in 4th grade, and ever since then we have been inseparable! I have had your back for as long as I can remember, and I know you always have had mine. You always talk so nicely about me, and it makes me feel amazing to know I have an amazing best friend like you! Remember we would meet weekly with a teacher in elementary school? We would have group meetings and we would play these fun games and always talk.

I have learned so much from you! Everything about your disability makes me more curious every day. It has opened my mind about kids/ adults with disabilities. Everyone is not the same, and no one will be the same! We are all different, and you my wonderful best friend are not different, or "normal"; no you are none of those! In my book you are unique! You have opened my eyes, and I can't thank you enough!

Your disability never stopped you. You are a positive, and wonderful young lady! I have seen you grown from a little girl with a walker to a wonderful young lady who can walk faster than me! You smile all the time, with that smile you light up the whole room, with that smile you will never be put down! No one will shove you around and no one will make you fall with that smile. Your laugh is very contagious, when you laugh I will always laugh! You laugh at the smallest things! if I say the word "booty" you would laugh. Your jokes are very hilarious, sometimes they don't make sense, but I laugh anyway because you are my best friend and I love you.

Now I am in college, and its the first time we have been a far distance away from each other. You call me every day, and whenever I can't pick up you will leave me the most amazing voicemail's that make me cry sometimes.

Being with you ever since Pre-K has been life changing! You have taught me everything that I never knew before I had met you!

XOXO

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.
