A letter to My Person

Because I wouldn’t be me without you.

A letter to My Person

My Person,

I know there are hundreds and thousands of articles that have been written on what makes a best friend and why we’re the luckiest people in the world because we have the best one out there… this isn’t one of those letters.

It’s said that “Everyone you come across is placed there for a reason.”, but I will never understand what I did so good that God decided to place you in mine. You truly are one of my biggest blessings. In my hardest times when everyone decided to leave, you were the one person that stayed.

I really can go on and on and on about how much you have changed my life along with how much you’ve changed me in the process, but I could write a book. You are the most caring person I have ever met. You have such a heart of gold; you put everyone before yourself even when you need to put yourself first. Your happy spirit radiates through a room and you can cheer everyone up just by your presence and amazing attitude. You have made me want to become a better person for not only myself, but for others around me as well.

Thank you. Two simple words that mean more than you will ever know. Thank you for believing in me and loving and caring about me when all I was doing was pushing you away. Thank you for putting me first and always asking if I’m okay (we all know you know how upset I am so fast even if it’s over text message). Thank you for not only asking if I’m okay, but genuinely caring and putting all your effort into fixing whatever the problem is and putting a smile on my face. Thank you for being that person to consistently text me. Thank you for being my backbone, my therapist, the person who keeps me in line, my stylist, and my go to.

I wouldn’t be me without you. I know that no matter where life takes us, we will forever take on the world together one step at a time.

I love you always.

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.
