An Open Letter To My Long Lost Best Friend

Dear b,

The days we have both dreaded for some time have unfortunately arrived. We are currently 1,000 miles away, but that doesn't stop the unbreakable friendship that we share. I know it won't be long till we see each other again (29 days), but I can't help to think if maybe things will be different when I come back. Will I be a completely different person? Could college really change me in a matter of three months? Will all the things you and I shared just be a faint memory from our childhood? All these thoughts racing through my head and then I remember of course not. Our friendship is one that will last a lifetime, and I'm forever thankfully for that.

You have been there for me through literally anything you could possibly imagine. You have sculpted me into being a better person. You have been the shoulder to cry on when there was nobody else around. Your family has so kindly taken me in as one of their own. I couldn't imagine going through my high school years with anyone else.

I want to say thank you for everything. Thank you for encouraging me to be the best individual that I can be along with standing by my side with any decisions I make. Thank you for holding onto all of my deepest darkest secrets that only you and I will share. Thank you for being there through all of the boy problems and showing me that I deserve someone who is willing to give me the world. Thank you for the endless nights of staying up late to just talk. Thank you for accepting me as who I am. Lastly, thank you for being my best friend.

I will always remember our late night drives downtown around midnight even though our curfew was at eleven, our Walmart trips because we just couldn't pass up on the cookie dough, our daily health kick visits, the time we almost burned your house because we were making fried Oreos, and of course me always having you paint my nails. I cant' wait to create more memories with you, but we will have to wait a little while until we can do that again.

It feels weird without you by my side every minute of the day. Whenever something interesting happens you are immediately the first person I want to tell. Going through college without you has been extremely hard. You have made the adjustment easier by the daily snapchats and of course the FaceTime calls.

I want you to know that no matter who I become friends with in college nobody will ever be able to replace you. For you are my number one for life. I know we are miles apart, but I want you to always remember that I will be here for you whenever you need me. You are my person and I'm forever grateful for that. Love you longtime b.

Sincerely,

Your long lost best friend Ki

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.
