Thanks for being my best friend through the thick and the thin, and for never leaving me wondering on where I needed to be in life.

A Thank You Letter to my Best Friend of 10 years

Well, we made it!!! Ten years ago you walked into my life and it has not been the same since. You came at such a young age that I do not have many memories that don't include you in them. You came at a time that I desperately needed someone like you, so for that I thank you.

You came at the most awkward stage of my life so far…middle school. These were the years of growing into yourself, Bermuda shorts, and every single t-shirt saying “aéropostale”. Thank you for not thinking I was weird and for sticking around.

Our relationship has not always been rainbows and butterflies. We argue like sisters, and sometimes fight like cats and dogs but without it my life would be very dull.

Our good moments way out our bad moments by one in a million. I have never laughed, cried or gossiped with anyone else as much as I do with you. You can turn my crappy days into my happy days with just one word, or one look; it’s astonishing that only you can do that. For that I am very very thankful.

You know when to yell at me and pretend to be my second mom when I am doing something I probably shouldn’t do. Yet, you also know when I need the right amount of cuddles on the days that nothing is going my way. You know my favorite ice cream and are always down for some binge watching of all the Nicholas Spark movies, which I need probably once every 2 weeks. You know when I need what before I do, and for that I am forever grateful.

Ten years is a long time to know somebody, one whole decade, half of our lives have been together. Thanks for being my best friend through the thick and the thin, and for never leaving me wondering where I needed to be in life. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for always giving me a place to stay if need be, a second family, but also thank you for being you and choosing to be there for me the last 10 years, here is to ten more.

- Love, 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.
