A Letter To That Friend With So Much Energy

You know who you are.

A Letter To That Friend With So Much Energy
Gretchen Lynch

Dear Friend,

When I first met you, you seemed so quiet and normal - what a silly mistake on my part! We made small talk, bonded over some things we found relatable, and with time we got to know each other a little better. You quickly became comfortable enough around me to show me your true colors - and boy are those colors loud, energetic, and nearly certifiably insane.

Our friendship has gotten to the point where I don't even take notice to your weird noises or loud comments in public anymore. There have been numerous times we've engaged in conversation with strangers and they laugh because I'm totally unphased by the fact you squeal like a dinosaur or laugh with your entire body flailing. I'll admit it is pretty funny because I've just accepted the fact that all of these things make up who you are as a person.

I'll just come out and say it though - you're embarrassing. You run instead of walk, screech instead of sing, and talk in so many different voices it's hard to keep track of them all. You are probably one of the most interesting humans I've ever met and I can say with all confidence that there is no on else quite like you. The thing is though, that is so incredibly special.

Although you may be loud, different, embarrassing, and all around a giant ball of energy...I love you to pieces. You've been there for me through it all and encourage all of the weirdness I contain within myself. You bring out my goofy side and I want you to know how important of a quality that is to have as an individual. You make others feel comfortable even if you've just met them (although, it usually starts off with you frightening them somehow...) and you can make other people smile with no effort at all on your part.

So, although you may act like a seven year old more than half the time, I cherish you for every goofy and silly quality you obtain. You make me want to become a better person who appreciates life to it's absolute fullest and for that - I'll say it again - I love you to pieces.

Love,

Your 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.
