A Letter to the Girl Who Only Has Guy Friends

There was a time when I wish I had this letter. I wish someone had taken the time to tell me that all my worries and insecurities are not valid. I was the girl with only guy friends. I had a few girl friends that i considered my best friends, but in reality they were not. They were friends with me when it was convenient, when it fit their schedule. My guy friends though. Those guys were the most loyal, the most kind, the most forgiving, and the most fun people that I had in my life. They were always down for food. They were always there to beat someone up if I needed them to. They were always there to give it to me straight when it came to my boy problems. They were my best friends. They were the ones that got me through college and showed me what true friendships are. But, I struggled with only having guy friends. I wondered why no girls ever wanted to be friends with me. I wondered why so many girls entered and left my life so rapidly and without reason. I wondered why I couldn't keep girl friends to save my life. In the end, it was simple... the people who truly care about you will put in the effort. The people who truly want to be your friend will show you. For me, it was my guys. I wasn't made to have girl friends, and thats okay!

So I am here to be your voice of reason. IT'S OKAY!!! Stop pressuring yourself. Stop putting up with horrible, abusive friendships with other women just because you feel like you have to. Find your people. IT'S OKAY if your people are guys. It's okay if you are the only girl in your friend group. It's okay if you just wanna be one of the guys. It doesn't mean you hate women. It doesn't mean you are a s**t. It doesn't mean you are unworthy. It means that God made you to have a squad of good guys that will always have your back and will not walk out on you when life gets hard. Oh, and one more thing... LEAVE THE DRAMA BEHIND. That's the best part about the guys, no drama.

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.
