You mean more to me than you know

An Open Letter To My Best Friend Who Has Been through It All
Arielle Lewis

Dear best friend,

As you move to the other side of the country, I wanted to thank you for being an amazing best friend. A lot of people have come and gone in my life, but you never left. Even if we ever had our ups and downs, you were always there for me. Also even no matter how many idiots come into our life, we've always managed to push through.

You always believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself and I thank you for motivating me to do well! Not only that, but you are the strongest person that I know and no one can take that away from you.

I remember it was September of 2012 and it was freshman year orientation. I also remember coming up to you and introducing myself and we instantly hit it off so quickly. Now we're basically part of each other's families and I pretty much know where everything is in your house, starting with grabbing dishes and a fork.

At this point, I pretty much live in your house. When we're not hanging out, we're always filling each other in with tea and laughing on the phone for hours until my mom texts me to go to bed. Even when I decided to go to school in another state, we would always manage to talk pretty much every day like I was never away, well because we have to keep up our Snapchat streaks that constantly fail. (And the fact that I spent all of that money on the cruise just to keep the streaks alive.)

Now that you are moving, I am excited about your new journey and I can't wait to visit. This gives me a good reason for my parents to let me fly to your new state for Spring Break. I also hope everyone has someone like you in their lives because if they don't then they're missing out. Thank you for being an amazing best friend and don't worry, no matter how far you are, you will still be my maid of honor okay? I have to save that in my notes somewhere.

Also, and please stay away from cacti, creepy dating sites, f-boys and don't scream at people on the road (even though people in that state are horrible drivers). You'll also be an amazing Nurse by the way!

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.
