Open Letter To My Best Friend

Dear best friend,

If we are being honest, starting this article off with "dear best friend" made me feel a little uncomfortable. I feel like we are more sisters than we are best friends at this point. We have definitely been through more than best friends should go through together.

I guess I am just rambling on at this point because I do not think I have ever actually tried to tell you how much I actually love you. I know occasionally we say "I love you," but I do not think you have ever fully grasped how much I truly do adore you.

Dear best friend,

I really really really really love you a lot. I know I might say it a lot, but I just wanted to remind you how much I really do love you.

You have helped me through so much. I really do mean it. You have been by my side through thick and through thin... and hopefully, you think that I have been there for you through thick and thin.

Dear best friend,

I know we have our differences. Trust me I do. And I am so so sorry if I ever did anything to you that I should not have done because of our differences... lord knows I have.

Personally, I think our differences bring us closer together. I never get tired when I am with you... and I think the reason why is because we never run out of things that keep us engaged with each other... even if we are just sitting on the floor next to each other, not saying a word.

Dear best friend.

Thank you for keeping me grounded. Thank you so much. You really do not know how much that means to me. I know that sometimes I can get away... like the time a guy hurt you and I suggested we kill him....... that was probably a bit much on my part (though I definitely do not regret suggesting it). You manage to calm me down no matter what mental or physical state I am in, and that will never cease to amaze me. I do not know how you do it.

Dear best friend,

Thank you for letting me stay at your house. I know that I can always count on you for an extra bed to sleep in if things ever got rough at my house. Thank you for welcoming me into your home and letting me eat your food. And thank you for letting me play with your pets... maybe that is the actual reason I would show up to your house unannounced all of those times.

Dear best friend,

Now that I am done, thanking you for everything you have done for me... I should probably apologize for being a shitty friend while being compared to you. Just know that I love you so so much and I am so beyond grateful that you are in my life.


Love,

Your 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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
