An Open Letter To My Best Friend

And to imagine that we once hated each other

An Open Letter To My Best Friend

Dear "Turboslut" (Gymbody),

We have only associated with one another for just over a year, and before that we hated each other. But there was something about you that made me want to attempt to befriend you. Befriending you was the best thing I could have done. You are my other half, and I know that even hundreds of miles away, I still feel close to you.

We have had some wild adventures, adventures that I could never talk about. We have the same sick sense of humor, something that others around us will never understand. You are greater than I, and you have these goals set in front of you that I only wish I could set in front of myself. You are the wild to my boring. You keep me on my toes. I tone you down, but you keep my life interesting.

You are greater than you can imagine, and I hope one day you can open your eyes to see that. You will amount to something amazing, and even though you don't believe it yourself, my family and I can see you on the brink of success.

I wish we would have crossed paths sooner, but the timing we had was impeccable. We went from enemies to frenemies to friends in the matter of a week, and I couldn't have it any other way. Though it may seem hard at times to connect with me being away from school, the moment we are together again, it's like nothing has changed. Thank you for giving the best year and couple months I've had in a long time. I can't wait to see you again.

Love,

Swolebody

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.
