A Letter To My Best Friend

For our friendship over the years.

A Letter To My Best Friend
Amanda Herbert

When I look back to middle school now, I can't believe how much has changed over the years. However, one thing has remained constant: the relationship between my best friend and me. I'm grateful to know her. I like that I can talk about anything. I remember our handshake from middle school. If anything our friendship has only grown from over the years. We have been there for each other through the good and the bad. You have accomplished so much and I couldn't have picked a better person to be a lifelong companion.

I don't know what it would be like without being your friend. Our inside jokes are perfect. We always know exactly when to look at one another to make each other laugh. Our daily trips to Soho are the best, but I think the best thing we can go anywhere and just honestly have fun. I am never bored. We always have stories to share with one another. I know I can rely on you for anything. I know you will always be there.

It's funny to imagine that we were sitting on a hot gym floor 10 years ago in a gym at P.S 92. You have come so far and I am so proud of all you have accomplished and will in the future. We hardly argue. We know each other to the point where they can't be disagreements. I hope we never do but only continue to grow and prosper.

I want you to know that I will be with you through thick and thin. I will be with you every step of the way. We are on the next path of our lives soon. I know that even after college I will count on you for advice.

You're my confidant, literally my other half.

I hope that we're roommates. I hope that we never lose ourselves. I want you to always remember all the good times we have shared with one another. We have reached so far.

I just wanted to say thank you for sticking by me. You have never left my side once. You allowed me to be myself. You accepted me for my flaws and my choices. I hope you know I will never judge you for anything. This is us!

Don't let anyone tell you can't do anything. You're awesome and most of all you are my friend.

Now we are in our senior year of college. We have been through different crossroads in our lives. We both made new friends, but there will never be another us. I'm blessed to have had a friendship like this. I hope 20 years from now that we're still as close as we are now.

I know you're going to shine in the future. You will accomplish amazing things. I pray that all your dreams come true. You deserve every inch of happiness in the world. This is for you. This is for our friendship and everything for the years to come.

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.
