Thanks for being you.

To The Girls That Keep Me Grounded
Michael Kelley

To say that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without you is a serious understatement. You have introduced me to so many amazing things that exist in this world. My taste in music, movies, and clothes have improved since meeting you. My view of the world, in general, has changed. You’re each so unique, and I’ve become more positive, empathetic, and open-minded now that I’ve made efforts to understand the way your minds work.

It’s crazy the way this friendship operates. You’ve expressed time and time again that you are thankful for the strength I provide in your own lives, but I wouldn’t be wouldn’t have that strength if it weren’t for you. Your continued support and guidance through my highs and my lows have allowed me to grow into the person you need. I know that none of us really have this “life” thing all figured out yet, but you make fumbling to make sense of everything less terrifying.

I have an insane amount of trust in you. I know that no matter what, you will always be honest with me. You’re the best listeners and even better sources for advice. Especially during those times when I don’t want to hear the truth, but you know I need to. I can trust your judgment because I know that you always have my best interest in mind.

I know what it means to be a good person because I have you as living examples. Your kindness, selflessness, and unconditional love continue to motivate me to be the best person I can be and to chase my wildest dreams. We’re not just friends, we’re family.

Thank you for everything you are for me.

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.
