An Open Letter To My Snapchat Best Friends

Because sometimes seeing you once a day just isn't enough.

An Open Letter To My Snapchat Best Friends

Dear Snapchat Best Friends,

I cannot even begin to express the comfort it brings me to know that you're only one selfie away. Every time your name flashes on my lock screen, I feel like our bond has grown a little stronger.

Our snapstreaks mean more to me than you could ever imagine. The dedication it takes to exchange a selfie each and every day reminds me of the true commitment of friendship. Three days ago, who would have thought that we would come so far?

Sometimes life gets in the way and it's difficult to keep in touch, which is why I feel so fortunate to have this bond with you. At the end of a long day, I know I can count on you. After all, you are my best friend, and there's nothing like hearing you sing with the bee filter, even though you sound bad.

I feel that we have gotten to know each other so well, from the bathroom selfies to the blurry pictures of your breakfast. I feel so fortunate to have this glimpse into your life, and that I can give you a glimpse of mine in return. We don't feel the need to filter our lives for each other to see, and that's what I love the most about our bond.

I can trust you like no other. I feel confident enough to send you unflattering pictures straight out of the shower and trust that you will not screenshot. But most of all, I feel #noshame double-snapping you. I know you won't judge me.

Your ability to climb to the top of my friend's list amazes me each and every day. It demonstrates such tenacity and confirms to me that you're in it for the long haul. You have an unmatched dedication that I cherish each and every day, and I want nothing more than to secure the same spot on your list.

It's upsetting when I notice that you have been temporarily replaced, and I begin to question whether our friendship is for real, or if it was simply a four-day fling. Sometimes we grow apart, and that's a sad but true part of life. But when you do climb back up and reclaim your spot, I know that you're not playing around.

Sometimes we're blessed enough to share best friends, and it reminds me of what a small world we live in... and how I managed to get so lucky to live in it with you.

Stay beautiful, and I'll see you later.

Love always,

Your Snapchat BFF

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.
