Thank you for being you.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
Casey Goulden

It is an amazing feeling knowing there will always be one person in your life who will be there for you when you need them the most. A best friend is a person you can count on to give you advice, let you know when you’re being stubborn, and someone who will pick you up at your worst times. Many people claim to have the world’s most perfect best friend, but in my heart, I know the world’s most perfect best friend just so happens to be mine.

Dear Best Friend,

Where do I even begin? Well, I can start off by saying that you are truly a blessing to have in my life. Meeting you was most definitely one of the best days of my life. You are such an inspiration to me and everyone around you. I aspire to be the smart, loyal and most caring friend that you are every day of my life.

I will never forget the day I met you for the first time. Quite honestly, I never would have expected that we would become best friends the way we did. But, we did, and I have never been happier.

I couldn’t possibly thank you enough for the countless amount of nights where I would cry on the phone to you for hours on end over something totally not worth crying for, like boys and pointless drama. You have been my “go-to-girl” ever since I have met you, and I, quite frankly, would not want it to be any other way.

Despite some of the fights or arguments we may have gotten into every once in a while, you have always been the person to still stick by my side no matter what the situation. I can always count on you to be the one to stick up for me/defend me in any given situation. I apologize for any time I may have been irrational or stubborn. I most likely was caught up in the moment and did not mean to take it out on you.

Having a best friend to look up to in life is one of the most amazing things I could have ever wanted. You push me to want to be a better person in life, and I could not thank you enough for that. Before I met you, I always wondered when I would meet my best friend. And now, I realize that having you as my best friend was worth the long wait.

So, best friend, I again thank you for being you. Thank you for being the most caring, loving and selfless person I have ever met. I can’t wait to see what the future holds with the two of us being by each other's sides. Please never forget how much I love you and appreciate everything you do for me. Without you, I would not be the person I am today.

Much love,

Your best friend

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.
