Thank you for making me the best me.

A Letter To My Forever Friend

I have had many great friendships in my 18 years of life, but none of them have compared to ours and for that I am grateful because you are the truest of all my friends. We have been friends since middle school and have faced many obstacles that would have torn any regular friendship apart by now, and that is why I say we are forever.

Dear Jershai,

I remember the first day we met like it was yesterday. We were in middle school, and you were a year younger than me, but somehow you bypassed the schools "top flight" security to sit down at the table every morning instead of standing. I think that is when I knew you were an over all bad ass and you were going to be my friend. Our first conversation was about Pretty Liars (because Teen Wolf was not a "cool" thing yet).

As the next two years went on our friendship grew closer, and I realized more and more everyday that you were someone I could tell anything and not face any judgement for it; For that I am forever grateful as well and could never provide you enough thanks. When I graduated and went to high school we still had weekly conversations and talked just like we used to because of the glorious invention of Face Time.

While we did not see each other very often we were able to maintain our friendship where if left off every single time. We texted basically all day and we still do now. In addition to being a best friend you are also a sister to me. Your problems are mine and my problems are yours.

Fast forward to now, I graduated high school in May, I was so unsure if we would still be able to maintain our friendship after I moved 101 miles away to go to college, and yet we did. Our bond is arguably closer than it was when we lived in the same city; for that I am grateful. This year is your senior year of high school, and I just wish you understood how great it was and that eventually this time next year you will be living hundreds of miles away from home and living with someone who is arguably a complete stranger to you.

When I was going through school you gave me a reason to go, and actually try. You were the person I wanted to be a better person for. Thank you for not allowing me to disappoint you, or myself.

Love you mostest,

Kylee (a.k.a Big Momma)

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.
