Why My Best Friends Are Actually My Soulmates

Sorry boys, I'm taken.

Why My Best Friends Are Actually My Soulmates
Alise Jonville

There comes a day in all of our lives where we realize who our true friends are. It may be in high school or college, but regardless of where you met them, they are your people. This group of friends knows you like the back of their hand, and is your rock through thick and thin. These are your soulmates, I promise.

As a child, I moved from school to school. This gave me the blessing of being able to meet so many extraordinary people. I have had many best friends throughout my life, and having the time of my life with them without even realizing it! Though getting to college, I am realizing that the friends I have made here, are actually my soulmates.

I feel like we are all on the search for a significant other and love, when we should realize what is right in front of us. In high school, I was in a committed relationship for a long time. I thought that I had found a soulmate even, but soon realized that even though boys say they will always be there, they (probably) won't. And yes that is sad, but it is the truth. Friends are there with you through everything, and will support you no matter what. I figure that when you search for love, it won't come easily, and when you don't search, you find just what you need.

This year, I have gotten so close with all of my best friends. We have all been there for each other through everything -- boys, stress, drama, and school. We have seen each other in our peak and at our lows and still continue to love one another. The most fun part of being with your friends is just being your crazy, weird (kind of psycho) self, and knowing that they would never dare judge you. I know I can say the weirdest, riskiest things around them, and we will all just laugh hysterically. This is the kind of thing that people go searching for in life, but soon realize that they've had it all along.

During this semester, all of us have either had a boyfriend, "thing" with someone, or been single. Even though all of those things are fun to be in, being single with your girls is the happiest time of your life. You don't have to worry or stress about boys being, well -- boys, and you just have each other to comfort, support and be super weird with each other. My friend group is so much happier and fun when we all just spend time with each other. We all understand and help each other in ways that I can't even understand myself. My friends are my soulmates in life and, frankly, boys are just around for fun.

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.

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.
