What would we do without them?

Best Friends Make the World Go Round

Elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and in the work place, one of the most important things that anyone needs through all of these is a best friend. There are many reasons why everyone needs someone to depend on and a best friend does just that.

1. Comfort

A best friend is someone you don't have to fill in the blanks with. They already know all the your life, you can cut to the chase and get right back to the conversation without a second thought.

2. Avoiding Loneliness

One of our most basic fears is being alone.Whether your best friend is around the corner or in another time zone, just knowing he or she is there provides comfort. So if you find yourself feeling isolated, whether physically or emotionally, pick up the phone and call your closest pal. Both of you will feel better for it.

3. Unconditional Support

You have yet to shower or even brush your hair and your best friend calls. What do you do? You get in the car without even changing because you don't have to. Best friends have seen us at our best and worst, and they love us either way. It's important to have someone in our lives we feel totally at ease with.Someone we can be ourselves with, sweats and all.

4. Honesty

Best friends will also be totally honest with us. They know you well and are able to tell you like it is. So thank your best friend the next time he or she looks at you, shakes their head, and suggests you rethink through this silly decision, trust me it is in your heart's best interest.

5. Loyalty

Loyalty means never having to worry about someone spilling your secrets or talking about you behind your back. Most likely, you've spent years building your bond, which just gets stronger over time. A loyal friend will be on your team no matter what.

7. They're Great for Weddings

Rather it be a Maid of Honor or a Best Man, you instantly think of them when you talk about your future together. A best friend will always be there, but they will especially be there for you through your big day.

6. Another Member of the Family

There is no one like your best friend. They add themselves to your family and are just considered one of the kids. This bond that you have made is much like what siblings share. You might bicker here and there, but no matter what, they will always be your best friend.

Dedicated to Kimmy,

No matter what we go through, there is no one like you that I could possibly replace you with. I am so glad to have you in my life and to call you my best friend. Thanks for everything that you do. Xoxo

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.
