Dear Best Friend

My best friend deserves the highest appreciation that anyone can get.

Dear Best Friend,

You are my platonic soulmate. I can't imagine going a day without talking to you. You cheer me up when I am feeling down, you and I go on crazy shenanigans together; we just click.

There is no one else I'd rather go on random drives at 3AM with. No one tells me about their ghost stories and the many houses they've lived in. Who else would just decide one day with me that we want to go on a trip during my first break in college? We haven't even known each other for two and a half years. We are crazy close and it's almost embarrassing. Almost.

Whenever people ask me what my plans are that weekend I just say probably with my best friend because if we go two days without being together we might just die from heartbreak. Honestly thinking ahead into the future when we both have our lives and I have a family, I can't see us not seeing each other every day still. Who knows, we probably will even live next door or across the street from each other or something.

No one else was in the same toxic friendship as me and suffered the same ways. You know firsthand what I went through because you were going through it too. Maybe that's why we are both so angry about it, because whatever was done to you made me almost as upset as you were.

Where would I even be without you? Who knows. You've been such a big influence on my life. You made me want to get a job and save for a car and a trip but also not spend all of my money, even though I still do, and you didn't even have to try. You've been a great influence on my life. You make me a better version of me. It's hard to picture where I would be in life if it wasn't for you. Would I be the same weirdo I was in tenth grade or some completely different person? I'll never know the answer, nor will I ever really want to because then I'd know life without you again. That's super cheesy and lovey-dovey but it's true.

No one would sit up at night singing me '90s R&B music just because. You're one of a kind. I think I keep saying the same stuff but who cares. You are one hell of a person bud. You might not know exactly what you want to do in the future or even next week but it doesn't make you any less of a successful person. I wouldn't just spend my time looking at cheap apartments and cars on craigslist for anyone.

You are a special person with an amazing mind. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you to tell me the crazy thoughts you have, like eventually everything now will not be taken seriously compared to the future technology, similar to how we think of telegraphs as antient things compared to our cell phones.

I consider myself lucky to be your friend, I'm happy that I don't have to know what I would do without all of the things you do that I adore. I love you bud.

Sincerely,

One of the lucky people that get to call you a 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.

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.
