For Emily

Because you inspire me.

For Emily
Cierra Donnelly

Well, here it is. The article I promised you. An article all about you.

I'm so thankful you let me sit with you on the swings that day in first grade. Can you believe that was almost two decades ago? Since then we have experienced so many things together. Concerts, relationships, late night convos, all nighters, late night Wesco and Mcdonald's runs, and wine nights. You're truly such an amazing friend.

I don't know what I would do without you. I'm so thankful to have someone like you who is brutally honest. If I pick out a haircut or outfit and ask you about it I know that you would be completely honest with me. You're not afraid to hurt my feelings if you know it's in the best interest for me. I love the fact that I can call you at three in the morning and know that you'll be there no matter the circumstances. You make sure to remind me that I have dealt with so many things in my life and that it's okay to reflect on them and feel weak sometimes.

You are undeniably one of the funniest people I have ever met in my life. Whether you're chasing the puppies around and screaming or yelling random things at people while we drive past them you never fail to make me laugh. I'm so thankful that I have you whenever I need a laugh. I could be in the worst mood possible (like that day I punched the hole in the door...oops) and know that I can always count on you to turn the situation into a joke.

I also love the deeper, more intellectual side of you. When we sit out in the car and talk for hours because there's just too much happening. I know that I can count on you to be there when I need a realistic point of view. When I need my heads out of the clouds, if you will.

Life can be changed in an instant, but you're the one thing that has always been consistent and for that alone I am grateful.

Thank you for being my best friend. 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.

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.
