An Open Letter To My Group Chat

Thank you for letting me lose my filter completely.

An Open Letter To My Group Chat

Texting you guys can truly make my day.

I appreciate that we can talk about any and everything - food, relationships, makeup, politics, dogs, sex, literally anything. I know that I can text my unfiltered thoughts into our chat, regardless of how insane they are and one of you will agree with me, or at least entertain said thoughts.

I can text the chat when I am having a good day, and I know that everyone will be genuinely happy for me, even if you guys are having a horrible day. You'll be engaged and ask about what happened, or say that you're happy for me. I appreciate this more than you guys know.

I love texting our chat when I'm having a bad day, or when something or someone makes me mad. I can type paragraphs or a million short messages; you guys don't mind. I can say every curse word known to exist and type the most questionable things, but you all just thrive off of it and then we end up in some heated discussion. At that point, I'm not even mad anymore because I'm laughing so much at all of our messages and it makes my bad days so much better.

Our group chat is so uplifting. Anytime someone sends a selfie that they feel good in, we all make sure they feel like a queen. When someone doubts themselves or their ambition, there's a 99% chance that we are all writing paragraphs about that person explaining to them why they are so wonderful and telling them to stop being so hard on themselves. When someone says that someone outside of our group chat was rude to them, our chat transforms into a "Comedy Central Roast" - it's great.

Anytime something big happens, you already know it's getting sent to the group chat. We can go from obsessing over expensive makeup to in-depth discussions about social injustices around the world in a matter of minutes. We can have conversations about the stupidest things and about things that are really important. You're all so smart and strong and I admire what you have to say immensely.

We talk about things that I feel like I could never talk about with other people. We talk about things that I'm not sure most people even discuss with their friends, but I love being able to tell you guys literally anything. If someone read our messages, they'd be very concerned and question our sanity without a doubt. But you guys taught me to that it's perfectly fine to talk about things that we're taught to keep quiet about it. I love that we have absolutely no filter and can be our true selves around each other.

Thank you for supplying me with endless laughs, correcting me when I'm wrong, uplifting me when I'm down, and for being the funniest people on the planet.

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.
