Everyone Needs a 'Person'

Going beyond what it means to be a best friend.

Everyone Needs a 'Person'
AllsWalls

In the TV show 'Grey's Anatomy,' there is a theme that follows around the main character, Meredith Grey. She is constantly talking about her "person," who is her best friend/partner in crime: Cristina Yang. Meredith is always shown going to Cristina for everything, even personal things; before her husband. The same went for Cristina, she always went to Meredith because that was their relationship.

Why am I telling you about this? Because I believe everyone has a "person," and if you don't then I highly suggest getting one. They are always someone who is always on your side, who can always be your voice of reason and who can even encourage you to do the things that you're maybe a little hesitant about doing. They are always the one who is there to pick you up whenever you're down. They are the bridge between your sanity and insanity. They are people who are always there for you no matter what it is that you are going through. They have no sleep schedule, because if you need them, they will be right at your door at 4 in the morning with coffee, an open ear, and a hug.

Having someone always in your corner is what gives you the stability to do what your heart desires. If you know that once you go out and take a risk, that someone will be there cheering you on, making you more confident. Your "person" is essentially your personal hype man (or woman). They will cheer you on when you're succeeding, and will definitely cheer you up when you fail. They don't care how many times you come crying to them, or begging for their help, or their assistance with anything. They don't care about anything other than making sure that you're okay. They are never judging, but always loving.

A "person" can be anyone that you find fit to be. You may not even know that you actually already have a person. Do you ever have anything happen, happy or sad, and you immediately have to tell someone about it? Can you always count on this person to never tell another soul what it is that you've talked about? Is there anyone, that as soon as you get into a pickle, that you think of to help you out? If there is, then more often than not, that person is your "person." They don't have to be a boyfriend/girlfriend, a wife/husband. They can simply be a friend, not even a best friend, just a friend that you can always rely on.

So please, find yourself a person. Get you someone in your life that no matter what, you can always turn to in times of turmoil or happiness. The someone that can always exchange conversations and in the end make each other happy, and hype each other up. You get on each others' nerves, but love each other unconditionally. A person is someone that you may already have, you just haven't noticed it yet.

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.
