Dating your best friend is like having the best of both worlds. Your relationship gets to be just as romantic and passionate as it is comfortable and carefree. You can be completely yourselves around each other and there's no one else you'd rather spend the majority of your time with. Here are some clear signs that you and your boyfriend are more than just a couple, you're also bestfriends.

1. You Tell Each Other Everything

I mean literally everything. You two don't have a filter when it comes to talking about your day, your emotions, or that random puppy you saw across the street. They aren't afraid to tell you anything that's on their mind, and you can't wait to listen.

2. You Have Tons Of Inside Jokes

You have so many inside jokes that it can sound like you're speaking a foreign language at times. It's easy for you to find yourselves laughing out loud in public, only to realize everyone around you is confused at what's so funny.

3. You Love Just Spending Time Doing Nothing With Them

When your boyfriend is your best friend, you can literally have fun just doing nothing together. Sometimes a cozy night in with Netflix and takeout can be more appealing than going out. You guys are happy no matter what you're doing, as long as you're doing it together.

4. You Know All The Weird Stuff About Each Other

You know all about each others weird habits and quirks and you don't care. In fact, a lot of the time their unique traits are what make you love them even more. Both of you aren't afraid to be your total selves around each other, weirdness and all.

5. You're Almost Grossly Comfortable With Each Other

You're so comfortable around each other that you're not afraid to be real and authentic. Things that might usually gross you out about someone else they somehow make look cute. Don't be surprised if you start bursting out in giggles each time one of you farts or have contests to see who can burp the loudest.

6. You Accidentally Read Each Others Minds

Even though you know mind reading isn't real, there are times when you guys feel like it must be. Maybe you're craving Chinese food and all of a sudden he appears with takeout, or you keep finishing each others sentences and saying the same things. Whatever it is, it feels like you two are in sync in a way that you've never felt with anyone before.

7. You Take Ridiculous Pictures Together

Your camera roll isn't only full of romantic pictures and flattering photos. There will also be plenty of pictures that either make you cringe or laugh so hard your belly hurts. You'll find yourself always wanting to capture the moment with them, no matter how ridiculous it may look.

8. Your Arguments Are Less Serious

Having huge fights is rare, and you mostly find yourself arguing over things like who gets to eat the last slice of pizza. Even when you do fight, you usually resolve things quickly knowing that you two can work through anything.

9. You're Brutally Honest With Each Other

You're not afraid to be honest with each other and give your advice and opinions. Instead of tearing each other down, you try and help each other grow. Nobodies perfect and you recognize that. In fact, you love each other even more for it.

10. You Don't Mind Doing What The Other Person Loves

This can mean he doesn't mind sitting down and watching the Notebook with you for the 5th time, and you don't mind curling up to watch his favorite game. It's all about compromise and you love seeing each other happy.

11. You Always Look Great To Them


Yes that means even on those days spent wearing sweatpants and no makeup they say you're the prettiest girl in the world, and mean it. No matter how rough you may be feeling about yourself, they always seem to think otherwise.

12. You Know Exactly How To Cheer Each Other Up

Whether that means bringing you your favorite food, or binge watching your favorite moves, etc. they know just what to do to lift your mood. You find yourself laughing and smiling with them more than you do with practically anyone else.

13. You're Partners In Crime

Lets face it, you guys are perfect together. You feel like it's you two against the world and there's no one else you'd rather be with. They're your partner and best friend all in one, and it doesn't get much luckier than that.

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.
