To my childhood best friend who became my soul mate

When I say soul mate, I don’t mean spouse, significant other, none of that jazz. I mean soul mate, the one who completes me. The one who has been through every up and down of my life. She’s not my girlfriend, but she is my other half. And I would give her the world if I could. I met my soul mate when I was six years old when I moved across the street from her.

I have no idea where I would be without you.

We have countless of late night sob sessions or long night cruises because sometimes life just sucks. You have walked me through so many milestones of my life. We've went through grade school, that awkward junior high phase, made it through high school, and now here we are in college living our dreams. We've obviously have had our fights, but I wouldn't want to call anyone else my best friend. And you have been there for my life shattering moments. Our junior year was a hard time for us, but with you gave me light in the dark. You understood what I was going through. You kept me sane (kinda, not really, we're crazy) and here I am today.

You have no idea how many times I bring you up in conversation.

Being 67 miles away from you, is one of the hardest things I have ever done. We obviously have made new friends at college, but all my friends here at school know you. I obviously have to talk about you because else am I suppose to do when I'm not with you.I never realized how many memories we had until I started telling them about you. And boy, do we have some crazy memories.

I'm silently rooting from you, always.

Every time I see you post something on Facebook about your life, I get extra happy for you. You deserve to be happy. I love getting updates on your life. I'm rooting for you even if your decision pisses me off, but I know you're stubborn behind is going to whatever you please. No matter where life takes you, don’t ever for a moment forget that I am always rooting for you. Just like Tyra was rooting for Tiffany.

I’m really upset you’re moving into an apartment.

But I’m so excited you're moving into an apartment. It’s just really upsetting that I won’t be able to walk my happy butt across the street when I see your car there. Just to let you know I cried. Even though I am being a little selfish here, I can’t wait to see your place and crash on your couch almost every weekend.

I just want to thank you.


There are not enough words in the world to express the countless times I need to thank you. Thank you for understanding I have a busy schedule and can’t always keep up with you. Thank you for being by my side even when I was still in the honeymoon phase of my relationship. Thank you for being weird with me. Thank you for being a sarcastic ass with me. Thank you for being you.


I'll keep you safe, you keep me wild.

I love you.

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.
