to my high school besties, as we venture off

Childhood friendship is the most beautiful memory that can never be replaced.

to my high school besties, as we venture off
Madison Skinner

To the crazy people I spent almost every day with since I was in kindergarten, I'm going to miss you. We have been through so much over the years, but I'm glad that we've been sticking together like glue since we were little. As we venture off to our new towns and schools, we will meet tons of new people. We will make new friends. We will make new memories, without each other. We will only be able to understand each other from the high school point of view, now.

No one that I meet in college will understand me the way that you do, but you will never be able to understand me the way that they do.

Guess what? That's okay. I hope that we will stay in touch, over the years. If we don't though, that's okay too.

We will no longer make spur of the moment decisions to go to Sonic anymore. We won't be able to stop at each other's houses anymore, and then text, "Is it okay if I come over?" We may not even know each other after we mold into our new, adult selves. I will always remember our crazy memories together, from getting cupcakes smashed in our faces to put tape all over the children's church door so the boys couldn't get out. I will always support you in your decisions. I will always be here if you need anything.

Most importantly, I will always miss the way we used to be.

As we go our separate ways, I want each of you to know that you all hold a special place in my heart, and always will. I am confident that you will all grow into strong-minded, intelligent young women. I hope that you will keep the word of God close to your heart, and follow your dreams. You guys will always be my people, and nothing will ever change that.

As I'm in my room packing to move three hours away, I am saddened and excited about this new journey I am about to embark on. I am overjoyed that we are finally going through the process of finding out who we are and what we are to do with this life that God has given us. On the other hand, I'm going to miss you all so much. I can't wait to see where life takes us.

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.
