A Letter To My Best Friend

On our second year of college

A Letter To My Best Friend
Nadia Palma

College wont be easy for the either of us and I know that life itself is going to test us. I just want you to know that no matter where we choose to go in our lives, I'll always be by your side. This letter comes from the bottom of my heart and I just want to remind you how much I appreciate you and all your support. As we get closer and closer to achieving one of our biggest dreams together, I want you to know now that our friendship is unbreakable and that I value you so much as a person. Without you, I don't know how my life would've turned out. While this letter alone isn't enough to explain my adoration and appreciation for you, this is just a taste.

Dear Best Friend,

I can't forget those moments we laid across my living room floor talking about our lives, the majority of the things you say still linger in my mind. Remember when I fell out of love and didn't know how to let go? You were there to correct me throughout all my wrongdoings and you still had enough love in you to hold me close when I needed it the most. I don't know where life will take us, but I do know we've made it past difficult patches and rainy days. I want you to know that you're special to me. It's not about how easily you make me laugh or how quickly you make me smile. It's the way you listen to all I have to say without judgment. Trust me, I know I can be annoying at times and I like to believe the world is out to get me at times. But when was the last time you told me I needed to change? Never.

As we get older, there is no doubt we will change. The only things that don't change are memories and what we've said. The other day, I was watching a movie called "Remember Me" and a quote said stuck to me, "Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we've touched". Do you believe you can make an impact on someone's life, that you leave an aura behind even after you're long gone? I do. I used to think the term soul mate meant finding someone to share your life with - preferably your partner. That was until you came into my life. I mean who is going sit down with me and binge watch Netflix while eating ice cream? Who's going to sit next to me and actually listen to all my thoughts? Now I think a soul mate is someone you love deeply and share an unbreakable bond with, whether it be your best friend or partner. Maybe you're best friend and soul mate all in one. How lucky can I get?

In our second year of college, I just want you to know that no matter what is thrown at us, we can get through it together like we always do. I mean we survived high school anatomy together! We can definitely handle college. Thank you for always believing in me and supporting my goals, even when I doubted myself. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us both, and I can't wait to see the day we're both holding our diplomas...We're one step closer to our dreams. I believe in you and all your abilities. I know we can do this.

Sincerely,

Your 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.
