A Letter To The People Who Date My Friends

A little vote of confidence but also a little more of a warning.

A Letter To The People Who Date My Friends
Madeline Grace Mullins

To the person dating my friend,

First of all you should know that I’m not necessarily rooting for you but mainly my friend’s happiness and as long as you can continue to give them that then we shouldn’t have any problems :)

Okay, so my friends are some of the greatest people in the world. They are intelligent, passionate, clever, funny and understanding. These are the people that I have chosen to do life with so understand me when I say that I would do anything for any one of them. They are people that allow me to be messy and clueless without ever judging me. They take time to listen to me and help through my problems big or small. They love me no matter what even when I don’t deserve it. They know when to tell me that they love me and everything will be okay, but also when to tell me to straighten up and move forward. Having said all this I understand why you decided you wanted to be with them-- any person would.

But listen, I’m not trying to give you a “hurt them and I’ll kill you” speech (even though i most definitely will) I’m just telling you now that you have someone who is truly amazing in more ways than either of us could count. You have someone in your life who will never stop being there for you and will do anything to make you happy even if it means sacrificing themselves sometimes. They would go to the ends of the earth and back for you-- trust me I know. Some of my friends have been hurt bad by people like you. “People like you” meaning people that saw how lovely and wonderful they were and said “I’ll give you the world” and then they never did. Or maybe they really honestly tried but just couldn’t do it. And if that’s you-- if you think that something will keep you from giving them every last thing they deserve then realize that now. Because I can’t even begin to tell you how much they are worth.

But if you’re reading this and know it and feel it that you are going to love them to the best of your ability then I’m glad that my friend has found you. Do your best. Listen to them, kiss them often, and reassure them every chance you get. You have a gem. You’re gonna a mess up and so is my friend but I hope more than anything that you and I want the same thing… for them to be happy.

And if so then we should get along just fine.

PS don’t misunderstand my gentleness. If you hurt my friend or cause them unnecessary pain I will personally kill you. Think of every tear you make them shed as a promise from me to you that I will ruin you :) I have tabs on everybody so you believe you me that before you ever came into my friend's life I was so far into stalking you I know your grandmother’s birthday,everything about your last three exes, and who coached you in middle school. Don’t. Test. Me.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
