An Open Letter To My Friends Who Deserve The World
Myself (Erin Blackburn)

Dear you,

Yes, I am talking to you. I know there are so many times you do not think much of yourself. You claim to be “an awful person” or “not a good friend”, but guess what though? You are wrong. You are one of the most amazing people that I have met, so stop being so hard on yourself. If you were the “awful” person you claim to be sometimes, I would have stopped being your friend a long time ago because I only have the most amazing people in my life. I know that no matter how many times I tell you that you’re the best, it’s still hard for you to believe. I just wish you could see yourself through my eyes, or the eyes of all the people who love you. So I am here to tell you about how special of a person and a friend you are.

You are incredible. You have been there for me through all my ups and downs. You always listen to me no matter what I’m saying, and trust me I know I can be quite annoying sometimes. It can be hard to find a friend that is always there to listen, so I am glad I have someone like you.

You are beautiful inside and out. I know it can be hard for you to see that in yourself, but I PROMISE you it is true. I find that inner beauty is such an amazing quality for someone to possess, and you definitely have that. You are always able to see the good in bad situations, something that I struggle with from time to time. Also, you give so much of yourself to everyone. Always putting people first even when you are feeling down. Just remember though, sometimes you have to put yourself first and that is okay.

You are hilarious. You have the ability to make me laugh until my stomach hurts. I love surrounding myself with people who make me smile, and also people that I can make smile too. Happiness is such an important part of life and you bring happiness to everyone around you.

You are lovable. I know there are awful people out there that can bring you down, but do not listen to them because they are so wrong. You are kind, caring, and selfless. If someone says otherwise please do not listen. There will always be there people that will tear you down and make you feel worthless and not lovable, but try not to let it get to you. I still love you and so do so many other people, and you do not need anyone in your life that does not.

Lastly, I want to say thank you. Thank you so much for coming into my life and choosing to be my friend. Thank you for being there for me for my ups and downs. Thank you for driving me places, the car rides full of singing, long talks, late nights, and adventures. Also, thank you for never leaving my side and sticking around. I cannot wait for you to receive what you have put into this world because you deserve it. You absolutely deserve the world for being the amazing person you are. I love you so much and I will always be here for you.

Love,

Your 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.
