An Open Letter To My Lifelong Bestfriend
Brigid Zarrick

Dear My Lifelong Best Friend,

You are my past, present, and future. You’ve seen me through all my ups, my downs, and all of my awkward phases. I want to thank you for standing by me because looking back, I don’t even know if I would have. You have grown to be more than just a friend to me, you are a sister.

You are someone who I can always count on. Things change, but I know I can always count on you. We have experienced some huge changes together, but we are something that is unchangeable. Whether we spend one day apart, or one hundred, we always start right where we left off. And I love that about us.

Thanks for standing by me when I shopped at, Limited Too. When I played with my Webkinz more than you. And all of the phases in between.

I am so proud of the people we have turned out to be. I didn’t realize it when it was happening, but we have really grown up. And we still have a lot of growing up to do. We went from awkward little people who barely had our own opinions, to two grown people who are ready to handle adulting to the best of our abilities. And I am beyond glad to have you to go through life with.

I am so thankful for all of the memories we have had together. Some sad times, some horribly embarrassing times, and some absolutely amazing times. I will never forget any of them. Not only do I want to thank you for all of the significant times that will forever be in my memory, I also want to thank you for all of the times we just experienced nothing together. Even though I may not be able to pull out a specific one in my memory, I am so thankful for all the days we sat around together doing nothing, eating everything, or even just mutually napped.

You are not a guest at my house anymore, you are family. I mean, you really don’t even have to knock anymore. I am so glad that the guest stage ended so long ago. I never have to offer you something to drink, or something to eat. You know where my cups are, and you know how to work my oven and microwave just as well as I do.

Thanks for being the cream to my oreo, and the puzzle piece that matches mine.

Promises made by children usually aren’t kept, because they are made without thinking. However, when I said you would be my best friend forever, I couldn’t have meant it more. Back then, I didn’t even realize what forever meant, but knowing now, I’m ready to take that on with you. Thanks for being that person to me, I love you more than words, or cheesy articles can say.

Love,

Your Forever 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.
