An Open Letter to the Friends Who Picked Me Up

Thank you for wiping my tears away

An Open Letter to the Friends Who Picked Me Up
Alyssia Vieyra

It was you..Those nights when I kept staring at my phone, waiting for a text from the one person who stole my heart but didn't care for it. Or when I would be crying my eyes out, hidden under my covers wanting to disappear from the world. It was you who was always there to lift my head up and tell me that everything was going to be okay. It's like you knew me better than I knew my own self. You were the mirror I looked into and found the truths about myself. You were the one who gave me the harsh truths in the gentlest of ways.

Over and over you would watch me make the same mistakes, and still you never left my side. Every single time, you would have to shake me while screaming at me my worth. It's like you had to walk around with a stash of tissues and your hand ready to slap me back into reality when needed. Sometimes I even saw you wipe a tear drop from your own cheek from feeling my pain. Those are the times that I will never forget; We couldn't be any closer then in that moment.

You are the only person who I get in a fight with and it can't ever last longer then fifteen minutes. My heart just can't hold in hate for you longer then that. I mean who else am I going to have crazy dance parties or rap battles with in the car. Or take midnight trips to buy out all of McDonald's cookies and point out every plane we see flying above us because of an insider we have with each other. You are my soulmate of a friend that can never be replaced.

You have been there when I was at my highest moment in life and the lowest. The only thing that changed was how tight you hugged me because with each time they got tighter and tighter. You hold a place in my heart because of how special our friendship is to me. Every moment spent together helped mold me into the person I am, even in our most craziest of times.

Saying thank you is not enough for all you have done for me. You are more than a friend to me, you are now who I consider family. You are my soul sister, my double mint twin, the peanut butter to my jelly, the Robin to my Batman, and the Ying to my Yang. You know how all of those quirky sayings go, well you are all of those in one. I can't think of anybody else who could make my heartbreaks bearable and my single lady phase the most enjoyable ever.

So this one is for you best friend. Cheers to many more years of unforgettable memories.

xoxo

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.
