No matter the difference or miles apart I will always be there.

To my Best Friend 600 miles away

To my best friend who lives 600 miles away,

A best friend is not even close to what you are to me. You are a sister. You are blood. To my best friend that was there always and forever I will never find a way to thank you other than saying even though it may not be the same now one day it shall.

Girls always say they hate drama, that’s why they always hang out with boys. Well, me on the other hand, said I hate people that why I don’t have friends. The reality of this all was that I was once a quiet child until I met you and ever since then we never stopped talking. The funny part of it all was we should have gotten in trouble a million times and it only happened like twice. ( But we won't bring that up again) In First Grade i t all started when you got into trouble all the time and the teacher decided to stick you next to me. First grade was when it started but 5th grade is when you became my best friend. From 5th grade on we were literally inseparable, teachers even began asking/calling us each others names. Me and you literally were known as each other and our names were not mentioned without the other. From times of..green and gold day,5th grade luau, glue buddies, troll dolls, the golden book, and our record of who could break their phone the most (by accident of course). There was and still is never a dull moment with you. I even moved 12 miles away and we made it work two different high schools, two different lives. We always made it a point to hang or talk on the phone. We hung at least once a month and the summer was literally every day. The biggest hit to our friendship had to be college 12 miles went to 650 miles, and different friends, schoolwork piling up, boyfriends, clubs, social lives. Friendship became harder and harder. One thing that I have realized though friendship became harder was that no one else would understand my references to the golden book or the golden ass. No one would understand our obsession with Chase Utley or how ugly we were in grade school. No one would ever get what I mean when I say let's wear our mo mo.

No one would understand where I came from or why I became me. Only you would understand that I am me and you are you because we did everything together. No matter how many “fights” or months we go not seeing each other we still always seem to be us. Friendships like theses don’t disappear, they may fade but they don’t go away. I know the last couple months have no been the easiest, but I always think about the people who have come and go. You are standing here still even when I don’t want you there. You are going to be the person at my wedding telling all the stories that no one should know but you. You are going to be that person in my life who tells my kids all the stupid crap we did. You are my person even though you are 650 miles away you will always be my person.

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.
