Life wouldn't be the same without you.

An Open Letter to my Best Friend

I just want to say….

Thank you for everything you’ve endured with me so far. I know I can always count on you to be there for me when times get rough, and I know I can be stubborn at times. I sure as hell know I’m going to be there for you when times get rough.

I feel like I’ve known you for forever. It has only been a few years, and it’s a great feeling. I remember when we first met how awkward it was. Little did we know we’d become instant best friends, room together, and just be inseparable. No one will ever, EVER replace you. You’re my number one best friend.

No matter how hard life gets, or whatever life throws at us, I know we’re always going to be best friends. No matter the distance, and no matter how many guys, you will always be my number one. Nothing will ever change that. Let's not forget, I feel so welcomed at your house and by your family. It’s like I’m one of you guys. I really do feel like I am. Shout out to your parents for bringing a wonderful person into this world.

Words cannot express how proud I am of you. Just with all that you’ve accomplished so far in your short life. I know you’re going to do so much more. I’m so excited to see what you do next and what life has in store for you.

I wouldn’t give up our random conversations in the wee hours of the morning for the world. Just as long as I have you by my side, I’m good. I know everything’s going to be just fine because no one can ever stop us. We literally do almost everything together.

It’s so nice to see how much you broke out of your shell since we both met. I remember how quiet we were and how we wanted to be a part a group of friends. But luckily, we made our own group of friends that I’m happy we’re apart of. I’m so glad that we shied away from the other group. I’m so happy that we decided to room together when we found out about roommate switch week at school. That was probably one of the best decisions we have ever made. Other than going on adventures together.

Speaking of our adventures, I cannot wait to go on more once school starts again, and how much easier it’ll be. I know they’re going to be so much better than our previous ones. We’ll somehow make sure of it. We always do, right?

I know I can always count on you for things. No matter how small or no matter how big. This is what best friends are for. Just know I’m always going to be here for you, too. I’ll make time to make sure you’re okay and to make sure it won’t happen again. I’ll be there to get your ass back in gear when times get rough. Or just be a shoulder to cry on for however long you need it. You’re more than just a best friend, honestly. You’re my sister and nothing will ever change that. I love you, 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.
