An Open Letter To My Friends

I cannot thank you enough.

An Open Letter To My Friends
MrkReport

To all of the wonderful people in my life that I’m lucky enough to call my friends,

Thank you so much for the unconditional love, support, guidance, and encouragement you’ve shown me. Thank you so much for the memories, both good and bad, we’ve formed. Thank you for all of the lessons you’ve taught me about life, happiness, sadness, pain, joy, love, and loss. Thank you for being there for me, sticking around, and for helping me through some of the hardest times of my life.

Thank you for being you.

Despite saying “thank you” five times in a row, I seriously cannot thank you enough. The truth is, I’m not sure if I can even properly express how grateful I am to have you in my life. It doesn’t matter if we’ve known each other for three months or ten years. It doesn’t matter where or how we met. Even if we don’t talk every day or see each other very often due to our hectic schedules, I’m still so thankful to have you in my life. My day gets better by just talking to you, whether we hang out or simply just text and Snapchat one another.

You’re all special, unique, and amazing in different ways. You have your individual talents, strengths, quirks, and hobbies– things that make you, you. And with these strengths and talents, you’ve taught me so much about hard work, dedication, and passion. You’ve taught me to follow my heart's desires and to do everything passionately and fearlessly. You’ve taught me how to love and accept others. You’ve taught me how to let go of my burdens and stressors and have fun.

You’ve helped me realize I was worthy of love, happiness, and respect... Even when I hated myself, you still stuck around and encouraged me to overcome my pain and discover self-love.

Thank you again for being a part of my life.

I cannot express how happy I am to have you there.

Sincerely,

Joanna

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.
