An Open Letter To My "Person"

... or in this case, "people."

An Open Letter To My "Person"

To "My person,”

According to "Grey’s Anatomy," your “person” is the other half of you. They’re more than a best friend, and they’re always there for you. It’s very rare to find someone that understands you and accepts you for all that you are, so when you find your "person," cherish them forever and never let them walk out of your life.

There is no one else I’d rather spend my days with. Who needs a boyfriend when you have a best friend? A boyfriend won’t cry with you over throwback Avril Lavigne songs. A boyfriend won’t watch you eat a carton of ice cream without judging you. A boyfriend won’t let you share bras and have backup tampons when you need them. That’s what best friends are for. That’s what your "person" is for.

My "person" is not only the other half of me, but the better half of me. I can turn to them for absolutely everything that happens in my life. Through every tiny event, or any huge milestone, they’re always right by my side. And when they can’t be there, I wish they were, because nothing feels complete without them. And I think the icing on the cake of what really makes our friendship so strong is our different taste in men, but the same taste in alcohol (although some of us can hold that liquor down while some of us can’t).

I wish I could say thank you, but I don’t know how. Saying “thank you” wouldn’t even begin to convey how I feel, and how appreciative I am towards my "person." There are not enough words in the dictionary to string together that can even portray my gratitude.

In a world of so much bad and ugly, my "person" has given me so much love and respect, and I feel like they are a reward from the universe. We’re more than best friends or sisters. We’re basically soul-mates. I am who I am because of my "person.”

Finding your "person" and having that lasting friendship is, indeed, a blessing. Good friends are great pillars of life because they help us stand strong. Friendship can make or break us, and it could lead to outstanding things. It doesn’t matter how often you physically spend time with your "person," but it’s how much you care and feel for one another in good times, as well as in bad times. They’re a great asset in life, and I’m lucky enough to have not only one "person," but two people. Two best friends, two therapists, two supporters, and two partners in crime.

I promise to never leave your life. No matter what happens, “You’re still my person, even if I’m not yours.” – Meredith Grey

Sincerely,

Your “person”

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
