To The Friends I Couldn't Live With

But I Could Never Live Without.

To The Friends I Couldn't Live With

From the outside looking in, it probably seems like the saddest friendship story ever- but it's in fact, my favorite one. There's something to be sad when you walk into a room without the one another and people ask you where they are, what happened, if everything's okay. It's because the only times we ever separated were either to shower or pee, and even those things we sometimes did together. Attached at the hip would be the saying, except we were actually attached at the hearts- and you guys will forever have a place in mine.

So we did everything together. We knew everything about each other. Everyone knew it was us, and only us. Perhaps we were too young, too dumb, too dependent. Or perhaps we were simply too close. Our obsession crept its way towards agitation, "can I have like an hour alone?" "did she really call my bowl a plate?" "why the f*ck is your cup back over there when I JUST put it in the sink?" It's hilarious actually, looking back at these little fits, but these little fits took something away that I sincerely wish to get back.

Our agitations led to behind the back talking and siding and disappearing (guilty, I know). And then one day we all made the wrong decision. We chose to separate. We chose to allow our sisterly acts to get the best of us. We chose not to live together. We chose to pause our friendship.

Well it's no surprise that we're older, wiser (a bit), and much more independent now. So what do you say we press play again? Wreak havoc one last time? Maybe I couldn't live with you, but I damn sure know I can't live without 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.
