A Letter To My Best Friend's Boyfriend

Welcome To The Club, I Hope You Don't Mind Me Third-Wheeling.

Hey there,

Well, it's nice to finally meet you after I've heard so much about you. And to start off, I want to say thank you for making my best friend so happy. She's one of the greatest people I know and I know you can see that. But I also want to tell you the top three things you should know about your girlfriend's best friend, aka me.

1) We will get to know each other pretty well, and we might even become really close friends, but know that no matter what, I will always choose her. I'm sure you can understand that.

2) I will third-wheel and I hope you're okay with that. Sometimes dinner dates will include me (because who can pass up Olive Garden), but also I know that sometimes you two need alone time.

3) And this is the most important one, so listen closely. I like you because she likes you. I will most likely be the one that she talks to about anything stupid you do, so just know that I will be the best friend who listens and ultimately gives my honest opinion. I am not the best friend who will tell her to stay with someone who doesn't treat her right. I will be the best friend who tells her she should have the best and, most importantly, deserves the best.

You are my new best friend's best friend, so welcome to the club (we meet every Sunday). It's good to see her finally get the cute relationship she has always talked about. And I could not be more ecstatic that I get to listen to the stories of her falling in love. I will try to not get too emotionally involved in your relationship, but it might happen (because I really love all the cute stories, mostly). But I will not be creepy about it, I can promise you that.

I am not the type of best friend to avoid hanging out with you, and will make any effort to get to know you. I think it's important to make you feel welcomed in our friend group, because I know how intimidating we might come off to be. And soon you will be a crucial part of our friend group, so again, welcome.

But just know that if you hurt her, to quote Liam Neeson, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you. Okay so maybe not literally, but I think you get the point. I was never blessed to have older or younger sisters, so this girl is the closest thing I have, and I will protect her feelings as much, if not more than my own. But let's hope that never happens.

So, welcome welcome welcome. I am so thankful that you make my best friend so happy.

With all my best,

Your girlfriend's 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.
