An Open Letter To My Guy Best Friend

An Open Letter To My Guy Best Friend

They always say that guys “friend zone” women. But in reality, being “friend zoned” can lead to an amazing best friend relationship. Platonic relationships between both males and females are quite rare to find. But I wanted to say thank you for all that you do.

Dear Guy Best friend,

Thank you for letting me be 100 percent myself around you. Thank you for listening to me and thank you for always being there for me no matter what.

Perspective

You have allowed me to enter the male brain, for which I am forever grateful. I have gained insight, new knowledge, and new understandings. You welcomed me into your one-man wolf pack, and it’s because of you that I still stay hopeful that there are still good guys out there.

Bros for Life

When I’m with you, you bring out my inner bro, and I love it. We can joke around and be ourselves and be completely comfortable around each other. We can go from talking about sports to that really hot chick that just walked passed us. I don’t have to say excuse me when I burp, and I certainly don’t need an excuse to be ladylike around you.

Tough Love

You tell it how it is, and I need that. You are always honest with me, which is important. You don’t hold back, even if it may hurt my feelings, you know you’re only doing it to help a girl out. If a guy isn’t into me, you’ll tell me. If a guy isn’t good for me, you’ll tell me right away so I don’t waste months or even years being unhappy in a relationship that was a waste of my time.

You’re There for Me

You always accept me with open arms after a bad breakup, bad day, or even if I’m just excited to see you. You always text me back, return my phone calls, drop everything to come spend time with me if I need it and will go out of your way to make sure that I’m having a good day. You always have my back, and I always have yours, no matter what.

Judge Free Zone

I could pick my nose, burp like a man, have no makeup on, sweatpants, a messy bun, look like a slob, cry like a baby, pick my wedgie, fix my bra, vent to you like no tomorrow, laugh like a hyena, and you won’t judge me. At all. You accept me as the person that I am and always encourage me to become a better person.

Comfort

We can snuggle, hold hands, hug, or send kisses to one another, and it’s not weird. Thank you for giving me comfort without being creepy. Thank you for genuinely caring and not trying to get into my pants. Thank you for understanding that at my lowest moments in life you don’t try to take advantage of me, but instead you only try to make me feel better.

Love

The love we have for each other is indescribable. We would both do anything for one another no matter what. We have a strong, deep connection with one another. You always tell me how much I mean to you, how much you care for me, how much you love me, how you’re always there for me, and no matter what, you always want the best for me.

So thank you for being you, for being there for me when I need you most, and when I just need to see your face to know that everything is going to be OK. Thank you for being a big part of my life—without you in it, my life would not have been the same.

Love always,

Your girl best friend

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.
