To My Best Friend With Low Self-Esteem

You doubt yourself when there's nothing to doubt at all.

Hey love,

You know what I love the most about you? Your ability to see the best in me. You never judge me, and you're always extremely honest. In a world full of fake characters and stuck up females, I treasure those special qualities in you.

Let me return the favor and be honest with you. You worry about your looks more than you should. You worry more about other people than yourself, and you doubt yourself when there's nothing to doubt at all.

You're one of the strongest and most independent women I know.

You don't care what life throws at you because you're always ready to combat it. You are wise well beyond your years and have no problem acknowledging when you're wrong. That takes guts.

I look up to you in so many ways.

You can dye your hair whenever you want, whatever color you want, and it always looks flawless--even when your adorable boyfriend does it for you.

You work your butt off because you don't want to have to ever depend on anyone, but part of me thinks you believe yourself to be a burden. That's the farthest thing from the truth.

Those of us who acknowledge your unique character and love you for it would do anything for you. We love you.

Babe, you mean the world to me. I know we don't talk every day, and I know life gets between us a lot, but I want you to know that I would do anything for you.

If you're feeling low about yourself, call me. I'll remind you why you're so amazing. I'll remind you of how beautiful, smart, and genuine you are.

You're worth so much more than you could ever see.

Our friendship over the years has blossomed into a beautiful relationship that I consider one of the most important ones in my life.

Thank you for making such a huge impact on my life.

Thank you for being true to me and never letting me down. Okay, maybe there was one time, but then we talked in an Applebee's bathroom for 15 minutes, cried, and worked it all out. So that doesn't count.

Don't ever let tough situations beat you up.

Beat them up and show 'em who's boss. Remember, your strength will lift you back up when you fall. Also, always remember the people who love you, including me, will brush the dirt off your back and butt. I've got your butt, no worries.

Stay confident, and keep your chin up.

I know sometimes it seems like life can never be figured out, but just remember the journey is the fun part. In the words of Rascal Flatts, "I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow, and each road leads you where you wanna go."

I love you.

Your latina twin and forever love,
Lesly

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.
