To My Best Friends, Thank You

​ “You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart always will be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.” -Miriam Adeney

To My Best Friends, Thank You
Nicole Gambino

Not everyone is lucky enough to say they found their best friend in 6th grade. Thankfully, I can say I not only found one best friend at the age of 11, but two. You both deserve to hear this from me everyday. Thank you for your friendship and all that you do for me..

Thank you for being the two most selfless and down to earth people I have met thus far in life. You guys have never failed to drop anything/everything for me, and you would do just about anything to help someone out. Both of your hearts are filled with nothing but love and kindness.

Thank you for having that crazy, goofy personality. This is easily my favorite thing about the both of you. Whether it’s hideous double chin selfies that you send me once a week, awful dance moves, or overall acting like a weirdo, you never fail to make me laugh till I cry. Sometimes I catch myself watching old videos of the both of you making a fool out of yourself just for a good laugh. Even from a distance, you tend to make my bad days better.

Thank you for making me feel loved and good enough. On some of the worst days of my life, you were always their to cheer me up and keep me going. You consistently put positive thoughts in my head.

Thank you for being spontaneous. I know I can always count on the both of you if I randomly wanted someone to get a tattoo with me or possibly jump out of a plane. Even if sometimes I have to beg you to do something a little reckless, you never let me down. I was definitely blessed to find two people who are just as crazy as I am.

Thank you for always being a phone call away. Even though college has taken us in different directions, you’ve both always remained right over the phone if I needed you. Whether it's been to talk about life, vent my heart out, or cry for hours, you've always answered and gave me your full attention.

And lastly, Thank you for all the advice. From problems with school, to family, or boys, you've helped me out with it all. You never sugarcoated anything or pushed me in the wrong direction. You were always there when no one else was. You told me the truth, as hard as it was to hear. The honest advice and opinions throughout the years have helped me make so many better decisions.

The both of you have no doubt changed my life and formed me into the person I am today. It’s said that you find your best friends in college, but I know for a fact that I found my lifelong friends 8 years ago in middle school. I don't know how or why I was so blessed to have met you guys at a young age. Being able to experience the true meaning of friendship throughout middle school and high school was such a gift. There’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll be at your weddings and watch you both grow into successful, beautiful adults.

I love you both.

Thank you for everything.

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.
