An Open Letter To My Right Hand, My Go-To

The “Drake Era” is amongst us, people. Let’s face it. Drake completely revamped and overturned Meredith Grey’s “person” by replacing it with our “right hand.” For those of you who don’t know (and probably should), your right hand, your go-to, can be your best friend, boyfriend/girlfriend or any other person who’s consistently there for you whenever you need them. When you first hear the lyrics to Drake’s song “Right Hand,” you’ll automatically know who your right hand, your go-to, is. If not, you better start looking for one, 'cause they’re awesome.


You’re my right hand, you’re my go-to.

I go to you for any problem I may have. Whether it’s when I have no motivation to clean my room or when I need someone to tell me to get myself together, you’re the person I’m going to go to (hence the go-to part).


Told me everything about you, that’s a bold move.

Let’s be real: not everyone is trustworthy. However, once you have a right hand, a go-to, chances are you’re probably their right hand and go-to as well. They’re going to spill their guts about themselves because they know you’re going to have their backs for them.


I know that you’re out here and there’s things you gotta go through.

Who could be more understanding of what you’re facing at the moment? Clearly, your right hand, go-to will always be understanding and ask if there’s someone they need to knock out for you.


Just know that these streets just don’t love you like I do, and they never will.

Your right hand, go-to might be your bestie from home or from college. Whatever the case may be, you’re from a common area. No matter what goes on in that area or who’s in it talking smack, you’ll always love your right hand, your go-to. You’ll always love them and defend them whatever the streets have to say.


Whoever your right hand, go-to is, you should text them right now and thank them. Thank them for never leaving your side, thank them for reminding you that you’re not crazy (no matter how many weird texts you send to them), and just thank them that they’re able to experience the “Drake Era” with you (because you wouldn’t want to experience it without them, anyway).

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.
