For The Forever Friends, Not The Fairweather Friends

We hold each other up and love each other unconditionally and that's all I could ever ask for.

To my best friends,

Thank you for being one of the best things that have ever happened to me.

I’m so incredibly grateful to have you in my life. You have held me through my first semester of college and for that, I am so thankful. While we’ve only been friends for a little while I know that our friendship will continue to grow and flourish. I am so proud of all you have accomplished this far and all that you will accomplish in life.

Being able to stand next to you and walk, run, and dance our way through life together is the most amazing feeling in the world. Screaming to Jamie All Over and The 1975, and our Friday night date nights, or Lizzie McGuire Marathons will always be my fondest memories. Dancing around concerts in our matching outfits and laughing when I fall to the ground out of sheer embarrassment will forever make me laugh.

Spontaneous hair colors, and trips to the mall, jeep hoodies, and ice cream will be my favorite Saturdays, and chicken nuggets and french fries ( nugs and fries) and crafting till 5:30 am will be our friendship staple. I have never met a person so similar to me until I have met you. I’ve always had a hard time making and keeping friends, whether they be fair weather or just people I don’t mesh well with. You’ve pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best ways possible. I know we will only have more adventures of makeovers, spontaneous hair dying, random Chik-Fil-A and Sushi dates and I can’t wait to see what other adventures we inevitably go on.

Our pasts, presents, and futures will always be weirdly intertwined and I’m so excited to see what a lifetime with you will bring. People always gush about their soulmate and how they knew the second they met them that they were the one, but one thing people don’t speak about is how that very same phenomenon happens with best friends. You are the most beautiful soul on the planet and I’m not just saying that because we’re two peas in a pod. You’re the Varchie to my Bughead, the moon to my sun. We hold each other up and love each other unconditionally and that's all I could ever ask for.

Thank you for coming into my life.

Love always,

Your Forever Friend

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
