An Open Letter to My Childhood Best Friend
Liily&Val

Dear Childhood Best Friend,

Thank you for being my friend when I was that “new girl”.

Thank you for doing homework with me right after school (at the same time, we knew how to be professional procrastinators).

Thank you for going through that super duper awkward stage with me. (How did you bear to be in public with me when I wore green basketball shorts and purple flannel as one outfit?)

Thank you for spending almost everyday with me for 3 years straight.

Thank you for supporting me through everything and anything, no matter what.

Thank you for keeping God alive in our conversations and encouraging me through Him.

Thanks for introducing me to tumblr and knowing how to deal with all the coding, that was cool.

Thanks for embracing the Korean Culture with me.

Thanks for wanting to beat up the same people as me.

Thanks for dreaming about the future with me.

Thanks for teaching me not to eat ramen late at night, because it gives you a bloated face.

Thanks for joining my first sport with me, even though I failed miserably at it.

Thanks for all the endless laughs over absolutely nothing at 5 am (and thanks for pulling that first all-nighter with me).

Thank you for helping me survive 8th grade math class by passing tiny little notes with test answers on them.

Thanks for being humble and teaching me what to not take for granted.

Thanks for knowing how to have a blast without a car. Walking around and riding bikes never failed us.

Thanks for being so giving all the time, you are truly a selfless person.

Thanks for attempting to teach me how to play piano again.

Thanks for being rebellious and getting in trouble with me.

Thank you for always picking me up and pushing me to be a better person.

Thanks for all the silly, awkward photos we took together.

Thank you laughing with me right after our first fight.

Thanks for practically being a part of my family.

Thanks for teaching me some of life’s most important lessons.

Thanks for a beautiful friendship that I’ll never forget.

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.
