An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend

Just about three years ago I was lucky enough to become friends with the most caring, loving, funny, generous, and selfless person. Over time, she has become more than a friend She has become my best friend and in most aspects, a part of my family.

Even though she is just about 800 miles away from me most of the time, I know no matter what she is always there for me and I know that she knows the same goes for her. I literally can count on her for anything. Something so minor as not knowing how to do my hair or makeup. Sometimes not knowing what shoes to wear or what sweater. Even something so serious as me crying and I just need her to talk me through it. Those 800 miles never get in the way of anything.

There any many things I would like to thank her for but there are just so many things you do for me that the list can go on and on.

Always being a phone call away

No matter what time it is, where you are, what you’re doing, or who you’re with, if I call, text, or Facetime you I know that I will get an answer in just about a minute. Thank you for the texts every day to tell me how much you miss me and love me, and the never-ending facetime calls, I love you.

For always being honest with me

You literally get a play by play of my day so you know all the drama, all the little details, and every move I made. Thank you for always being non-biased of the issue I have come across and always telling me if I was wrong. Although you aren’t here you are always the person that gives me the best advice. Also, thanks for always giving me the best advice and knowing what’s in my best interest. I know that since you’re not always here you just want to see me happy.

Never getting sick of me

You would think since we talk pretty much 24/7 you’d get sick of me, my attitude, my jokes, my hyper-ness, my laughing or my mood swings. NOPE. Thanks for always dealing with me. Sometimes you deal with me more than my friend’s at home do.

Always reminding me that you're always standing right behind me

Sometimes when I’m feeling down and I feel like the world is too much to handle, thank you for the never ending paragraphs reminding me how much you love me and how you’re always going to be here for me. Thank you for standing behind me in the worst times and the happiest times. You’re the best.

For making every time I see you special

No matter what it is, you always make your visits special and make me the most excited to see you. Thank you for the countdown, the surprises, the ice-cream dates, the movie dates, the music dates, the concert dates, the sleepovers, the hours of gossip, the tips on nail polish, holding me when I’m crying, making me laugh when I’m sad, the never ending jokes, but most importantly making each visit the very best.

Thank you for being the best human. I love you most.

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.
