A Letter To The Guy My Best Friend Loves Next
Grey's Anatomy

Dear the lucky one,

Congratulations! You have somehow caught the attention of the most kind-hearted, compassionate, beautiful inside and out girl there is and she loves you. So I guess you’re alright…

I know a whole lot more about you than what you think, not to scare you or anything. I’ve stalked your social media, I know why you aren’t still with your last girlfriend and I’ve asked around about you. Basically, don’t try to play any games. She’s my best friend, and someday she may become yours as well. So please do everything in your power to keep her smiling and love her unconditionally (even the days you want to hang her by her toes).

She’s been to hell and back hitting every road block along the way so don’t give up on her when she doesn’t open up immediately. Be patient with her because she will eventually, but she finds it hard to trust people. She’s extremely independent, so don’t feel like she’s shutting you out. Just know that she’s gotten used to doing things on her own. She’s had the hard love, so give her the simple uncomplicated love that she deserves.

She’s used to people walking out of her life, lying to her and using her. She’s used to her emotions being toyed with and being let down, but she deserves so much more than that. She deserves flowers simply because it’s Thursday, someone who genuinely cares about her and does everything in his power to make her happy because seeing her smile is the best part of his day. So I hope that you are him, because if there is anything I know about her it’s that this isn’t just a game with you. If she is interested, she’s all in. Don’t take that for granted.

Don’t make her choose between you and me. If you truly love her, this won’t even be an issue but it still needs to be addressed because it’s happened. We’re loud, we’re sassy and many say we’re a lot to handle, but if you’re the one for her you’ll fit right in. You won’t find our midnight drives pointless, you’ll understand that dance parties and nugs solve the majority of our issues and you’ll understand that sometimes we just need to cuddle so you’re gonna have to move over. But just like you’ll learn, so will I. I get that she has you now for a lot of these things, but just don’t make her choose. Realize there are some things you will give her that I can't and vice versa. Our love for her is just different.

Most importantly, I hope you love her as much as I do. She’s a woman. Women are meant to be loved, not understood. So on the days you want to shake her she drives you so crazy, I hope when you look at her you are reminded of why you are with her, why you love her. She deserves the world and if you aren’t going to give it to her watch out because she’ll get it herself. I love this girl. She makes me laugh, cry and scream but I’ll always love her. I just hope that you can pick up where I fall short.

There’s so many little things you will learn about her and I pray you fall in love with those things because that’s what makes her, her. Her little quirks are things that don’t change and she deserves someone who appreciates them. She needs someone who will push her to be the best she can be, not someone who makes her settle. She may be the most hard-headed and stubborn person you’ve ever met but she has a heart of gold and she deserves someone who will treat it as such. So be that person for her.

If you’re fortunate enough to have my best friend as a partner in life, consider yourself lucky. You’ve got one of the most genuine and down to earth girls by your side. She’ll love you through the highs and lows, she’ll put your happiness before hers simply because that’s her. Don’t take it for granted because if she truly loves you, she’ll let her walls down and open up to you. She’ll trust you and that is the most important thing to her. So don’t break that.

She’s my best friend and I hate to see her hurt. I also would hate to have to hurt you for hurting her, so, please... Just love her. And if you don’t, don’t lead her on because she loves you with all of her heart. She deserves so much happiness in life and I am trusting you to help give her that.

Sincerely,

Her overprotective best 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.
