To My Best Friend

A special note to you. I think you know who you are.

There's something wonderful about the fact that you actually understand what I go through. Sometimes I talk to people about something I'm facing, and they're wonderful listeners, but they can only offer so much advice. When I talk to you about it, and you tell me what I should do, I know I can trust what you say, because you just know. I think we have a little bit of an advantage with our similar situations, because that means our conversations can come equipped with beneficial advice.

How do I even begin to tell people about the wonderful memories we've made over the past five years? Strange, bittersweet, exhilarating, you name it. Whether it was accidentally ending up on the other end of the state by subway or going crazy from sleep deprivation during late nights, you made these memories a little too difficult to forget. It goes without saying that these past years would be totally different if I'd spent them with someone else. You always keep things exciting and original.

Even though you're farther away now, I think we've gotten closer this past year, and I just know that'll make for a fantastic friendship. It's also good for us to get a glimpse into the other's life. We're in two different places, but all that means that is that we now have an excuse to take vacations to see each other.

Relief: it's what I feel when I look at you and talk to you, and I'm forever glad to have that. Maybe all of these new things happening in my life have me a little more frightened than I need to be. No matter what, though, you always remind me that I can handle it and everything will be fine. You may not understand how much this has meant to me lately.

Each time we see each other, we seem to discover that our tastes are incredibly similar. It's great that we can recommend books to each other, or that we can get excited when we find out that we've just discovered our love of the same band. That could be part of the reason we get along so well. Our similar interests in books, music, and even in pastimes can give us things to talk about for hours.

So much has happened in the past year alone, and you've been right there to listen. Your insight has been incredibly helpful to me. I love that you've been able to point things out to me that I wouldn't have recognized before. I appreciate the strength you pass on to me that makes me believe I can take on anything.

Always remember how special you are. You truly set yourself apart from everyone else, and I've noticed that about you for as long as I can remember. I admire that about you. You're a beautiful, splendid, incredible person, and I am just making sure you know that. I love you so much, and thank you for being so wonderful!

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.
