A Letter To My Hometown Best Friend

Thank you for being you.

A Letter To My Hometown Best Friend
Dylann Werkmann

Dear BFF,

After being inseparable for almost 10 years, I can’t believe we have managed to live 388 miles away from each other for almost four of those years. Going from living at each other's houses, fighting with each other’s siblings and basically calling each other’s parents mom and dad to living apart and actually having to plan visits, I actually don’t know how we’ve done it. We might talk every day, 24/7, but that doesn’t mean I thank you enough for everything you still manage to do for me. The list can go on forever but here are a few things you should always thank your BFF for.

Thank you for being there through the awkward stage.

Thank you for taking ugly photo booth pictures with me, having the same taste in clothes in middle school, and helping me talk to boys. Looking back now, I’m glad you were just as obsessed with Hollister and putting too much makeup on as I was. I think we can both agree that all those photo booth pictures now need to be deleted and burned (as well as the weird Facebook status’ we used to post).

Thank you for being my sanity keeper.

If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be half the person I am. Not only are you my other half but when anxiety takes over, a mental breakdown is on its way, you know exactly what to say. Whether it be agreeing with me even when I’m wrong, or telling me how it is instead of what I want to hear, I can’t imagine it being easy. (Especially when it happens almost every day)

Thank you for always supporting me.

Sometimes I can make the dumbest decisions but it’s so great to know that you’ll always be by my side cheering me on...or picking me up. Thank you for being my go to at any time of day and basically hearing about every detail of every day in my crazy life.

Thank you for being my person.

Thank you for being there when my family was falling apart, for being there for my first heartbreak and for helping to pick up the pieces. Thank you for being the person to listen to things that you may not know a single thing about but will still give your best advice.

These are just a few of the things that a lifelong best friend should be thanked for. I’m sorry I don’t thank you enough for all that you do but know that it means more than you could ever know. Thank you for being my BFF.

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.
