A Letter To My Furry Friends

Thank you for loving me unconditionally and for being my best friends.

A Letter To My Furry Friends
Kayleigh Garrison

To all of my furry friends,

To say you are lucky that I gave you a home would be an understatement, because I am lucky that you have shown me unconditional love for as long as we have known each other.

It's difficult to explain how much you mean to me or how grateful I am that you are in my life. Besides that fact that you can't understand me, how do you tell your best friends that they mean the world to you?

From the moment I brought all of you home - one by one, that is - I knew we would be best pals. It was love at first sight and I knew you would be in my life for a very long time. However, I had no idea that you would impact my life in such a profound way.

Human friends come and go, but you have always been there for me. You are always the first to greet me at the door, rubbing your fur up against me and getting hair all over me as soon as I walk through the front door. You are the first to jump up on your back legs to say hello.

Thank you for cheering me up on a bad day.

Thank you for craving my attention.

Thank you for being my cuddle buddy when I am sick, and a listening ear when I need to vent. I've never been good at expressing my emotions, but having you sit next to me is comforting enough.

A furry friend's love is different from anyone you'll ever meet. Dogs and cats need basic necessities like food and water, but they don't ask for anything in return (I know, animals can't talk, but you get the point).

I don't deserve the unconditional love you give me every day, but you give it to me anyway and for that, I am so grateful.

Having you in my life is like having guaranteed best friends. You're always ready to hang out, you're always willing to go on a walk, and I feel so much joy every time I hear you meow or watch you chew on your dog bone.

You remind me to appreciate the little things in life because that is what you do every day.

People have always judged me for owning so many animals, but there's no greater feeling than going home and seeing a house full of furry friends. With pets, you're never alone because your trusty companions are always nearby.

Thank you for loving me unconditionally and thank you for being my furry friends.


I love you so much and promise to take care of you, always.

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.
