An Open Letter To My Person Who's Far Away

Sometimes this 'person' of yours unfortunately isn't three houses down, more like three-hundred miles away.

"If I murdered someone, she's the person I'd call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor. She's my person."

Every college student is more than well aware of one of the greatest shows ever created, Grey's Anatomy.

Although there are parts of Grey's that are completely unrelatable to our non- surgeon, exciting lives, there are a few relatable ones.

Within your life you meet someone, who's not your boyfriend or girlfriend, but someone you realize was meant to be your best friend, who balances you out and will go miles if that means they'll be able to be there for you. This individual is your 'person.'

Sometimes this 'person' of yours, unfortunately, isn't three houses down, more like three-hundred miles away.

So this is a letter to them...

To my 'person' that's far away,

Thank you for being "my right hand, my go to."

Whenever there was an issue in my life that no one seemed to understand me with, I've always found myself running to you about it.

It was more than devastating having to follow our dreams and transfer schools, not for leaving the lives we had there but not having you around 24.7 anymore.

Being separated from you meant I had no one to fully 100% get me, no one to understand our crazy memories and no one to just hang out in silence with and be 100% comfortable with it.

Distance hasn't affected our friendship one bit, we may not get to talk every day, all day, but there isn't a day I don't brag about you to my friends or random strangers.

In fact, our friendship being revolved around distance has made it kind of exciting and made me appreciate you 1000x times more. We both get to see each other lives that we have in different states, meet each other's friends and create many more memories that we don't really recall, that's what makes it fun though right?

Everyone knows you're my person and knows how inseparable we are and I love that.

I can literally be with you a week straight and not want to jump in front of a bus, like I'd normally want to do if it was anyone else.

Thank you for being there for boy advice and letting me spend countless times crying on your shoulder to only stop, eat cupcakes on your dorm floor and forget why I was crying in the first place.

Thank you for understanding that 'one more' is really more like 'five more.'

Thank you for picking me up in a random town in Pennsylvania, when I got off at the wrong train stop.

Thank you for ALWAYS being down for an adventure, I'm glad it was with you because when we're thirty and have "mom bods" I'll have something to tell my children about their godmother.

Thank you for understanding my love for ice cream and always making a hike to Coldstone in the dead of winter, and the car rides filled with blasting music as we scream sing and wonder why we haven't become famous yet.

Thank you for always reminiscing back on our 'glory days' and wondering why we're twenty but feel like were in our late thirties.

I could go on for days but more importantly thank you for being you, for showing me what true friendship is and for not letting distance effect our friendship.

Although distance may separate us, no matter how far you are, you'll always be my 'person' and that'll never change.


P.S. can't wait to become nurses together, practically live at each other's houses and have our husbands want to kill us...

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.
