7 Things You're Blessed To Know To Be True, If Your Best Friend Is Your Cousin

In This Article:

I was born in January and Gaby was born six weeks later in February. We've been best friends ever since. We've basically been inseparable ever since whether its spending weeks together every summer or snapchatting everyday. I love her with my entire heart (even though she goes to University of Iowa and I go to Iowa State.)

You've been at it since the beginning

Serving looks together our whole lives.

We've been best friends since we were born and there are no signs of stopping yet.

Holidays Are Never Boring

Featuring Scooter also known as The Best Dog Ever.

I mean how can you be bored when your best friend is sitting across the Thanksgiving table from you or you're opening Christmas presents with her?

You're each others number one support systems

Here we are at state cheer with our other amazing cousin Morgan.

She supports me through everything I do (even the dumb stuff) and I would 100% defend any decision she made.

You Have A Built In Travel Buddy 

We went to Oregon over spring break to see my sister and it was the best trip ever.

Your parents can't say no to you traveling with family so you always have someone to set off with and lets be honest its the only person you want to go with anyways.

You do everything together

This is her first tattoo that I went with her to get (and I got one too).

There is nothing too big or too small to do together.

You can be your truest self around each other

We went to Maroon 5 together. It was one of the best nights ever.

She has seen all of my phases so I am not scared of doing whatever or being whoever in front of her.

You know you're going to have a friend forever

She is the only person I'll go to sports games with.

She's family so she can't leave me. We're still going to be tearing up at 90 like we are at 20.

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.
