Never in a million years did I ever picture myself writing this, much less it actually being real.

We had 6 amazing years of friendship/sisterhood, you were my other half, my rock, everything I did you were right beside me. Little did I know it wasn't a forever thing.

First of I want to say "thank you." Thank you for showing me what a true friend is. For always being there when I thought my life was horrible. You never left me when I assumed my world was being turned upside down just because my 13-year-old boyfriend dumped me at the community pool. Staying up late watching Twilight movies, even though I was always sleep 30 minutes into the movie because I was "exhausted." You always told me that we would stay up all night long when you deep down inside new that we would be out by ten,

Thank you for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself, there were countless times in high school when you had to remind me who I was and what I capable of. Our summer vacations are something I will forever cherish.

I honestly can never thank you enough, you moved mountains for me. Your family became my family and my family became yours. Not only were you an amazing friend but you showed me that not all family members are blood. I will forever miss our random trips to Hemphill to get pie at midnight, summer trips to the lake to visit Papaw and Nana, and last but not least our heart to heart talks about life.

Last but not least thank you for teaching me how to be a friend, you were my first true best friend. Even though we parted our ways I will always be here for you. I sometimes wonder what it would be like if God didn't part our ways, I hope and pray that you're doing well in life and that maybe someday we can reconnect. We promised to always be here for each other and I intend keeping that promise. As long as you live, you'll forever have a friend in me.

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.
