A Letter to my Best Friend

Thanks for being the Dwight to my Michael.

A Letter to my Best Friend
Lani Vanlandingham

Dear best friend,

I haven’t known you my whole life. I didn’t even meet you until a few years ago, but that’s okay. Sometimes you annoy me like no other. Sometimes I can’t stand you. But still, every day, I look over to see you right beside me. You're the peanut butter to my jelly, the sunshine to my rainy day, the chocolate to my Snickers, and the Dwight to my Micheal. I simply couldn’t, and wouldn’t, be here without you.

We have had so many great memories together, such as staying up for 2 days straight, watching nothing but Harry Potter, and not sleeping until we watched every single one of them. Often times, we call each other and talk about nothing else rather than how cute that one boy looks. We never pretend around each other. I can feel completely like myself when I'm with you. I can call you at 2 in the morning and just cry through the phone, and you would still be on the line.

You have helped me through so much. No matter what it is, you are ALWAYS there. And I love that about you. You never make me feel stupid about my mistakes or get angry when I'm a little witch to you.

But I want you to feel just as safe with me. I want to be the first one you go to when you have problems. I always want to be the shoulder you have to cry on. I don't want you to feel like I'm only there when something is wrong with me.

You make me laugh so hard I'm crying. You make me question whether the sun is not really the moon, and if the color yellow is really green. You are just simply you. So thank you.

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.
