A Letter To My Best Friend's Next Boyfriend

A Letter To My Best Friend's Next Boyfriend

Dear lucky guy,

So here's the deal... you've somehow landed the smartest, most kind-hearted, hard working, beautiful inside-and-out girl there is. So I guess that means you're an okay guy.

Not to scare you, (okay, maybe to scare you a little) but I know way more about you than you probably want me to. I've stalked you to the point where I know what your first tweet/Instagram picture was, I've seen just about every Facebook picture you've ever been tagged in, I've heard about why it didn't work out with your last few girlfriends and I've even read every cheesy flirtatious text you've sent to my best friend. So basically kid, you want me on your side.

As part of the package that comes along with dating my best friend, I have extremely high expectations of you. She deserves to be taken out on fun adventures, surprised with her favorite coffee, challenged, inspired and most importantly, genuinely adored. Don't be some boring, clingy guy with no aspirations in life. Most importantly, don't hurt her. She's been hurt before and I really don't want to ruin your life, believe me kid, I like you - I really do, but I can and will ruin you if you make her cry.


She's my person. We watch cheesy movies and cry at 3 a.m. together for no reason. We have the weirdest, most personal conversations that you probably don't ever want to hear. We drop anything and everything for each other at any time of any day. If something good happens to the other, we both share that joy. So you hurt her, you hurt me.


In the end, all I want is my best friend's happiness, so I'm okay that you're here. This isn't a competition and we won't be fighting for her love and attention, in fact, I really do want to be your friend. Just know that I'll be tagging along while you two hang out, making fun of you, talking about personal things in front of you and always making sure you're treating her right. You are one lucky guy and I'll never let you forget that.

Sincerely,

Your girlfriend's 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.
