A Letter To My Low-Maintenance Friend

Thank you for always being there, even though you may not always be physically there.

Hey you,

We may not be those kinds of best friends who talk every day, who have a Snap streak of over 100, and spend every waking moment together but I just want you to know that cherish our friendship.

Our friendship is something special, we can go days, weeks or even months without talking and when we finally meet up in a local bagel shop it is like no time has passed. You will forever have a special place in my heart no matter how many days have passed since the last time we talked. Whenever there is something big that happens, you will be the person I will want to tell. We’ve been through a lot together, and even more without each other, but it’s always nice to have someone to lean on or an outsider’s opinion. I love that no matter how much time has passed our friendship will remain as close as we were when we were little. There are certain people who come into our lives with the purpose to stay by our sides so we can experience life together. I know that you are that person for me. Sometimes we will go through differences, life happens and we just cannot make time for each other like we used to, other friends may come into the picture, but I know that no one can replace the friendship that we have.

With that being said, I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for being there for me no matter how many days or weeks have passed since the last time we talked.

Thank you for always being in my corner and always wearing a blue jersey for Team Shannon.

Thank you for the Insta likes, the Snapchats and the random “I miss you” texts.

Thank you for never leaving. We have been through a lot but we are still here supporting each other.

Thank you for showing me that a friend doesn’t always have to be someone who is physically with you all day every day. A friend is someone who you can trust with your secrets, who you can show your silly side to and they won’t judge you.

Thank you for just being you. You are my crazy best friend and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Thank you for being silly with me. For not judging me when I uploaded super contrasted-edited pictures to Facebook when I was 12 and supporting me when I thought that cutting my hair was a good idea.

Thank you for holding my hand when I was getting my ears pierced.

Thank you for being there for me. There have been times when life has gotten in the way, but you have understood and I am thankful for that. You have been there for me for as long as I can remember and I am thankful for that. We are currently in a difficult part of our lives, we are growing up and life is starting to happen and life will take us to different places in America but I know that you are always a phone call away.

Thank you for supporting me. For as long as I can remember you have always been one of my biggest supporters and always encouraged me.

Thank you for those 2 a.m. chats when I cannot sleep.

You will forever hold a special place in my heart and I always look forward to our breakfast dates that slowly turn into us ordering lunch because we aren’t finished catching up yet.

Love you long time.

Love,

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.

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.
