An Open Letter To My Best Friend

We survived the growing pains.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
Madison Huffman

You were there through the awkward stages and the boy crazy stages. You were there to laugh with me when awkward things happened, and there to cry with me when things went wrong. I can't express how meaningful our friendship has been throughout the years, I can only hope to paint a picture through words of how much I love you.

When we first met, I had no idea we'd become sisters. People laugh, but I'm serious when I say you're my soulmate and there will never be another friend like you in my life. The trust we've built is rock solid and something I can rely on. You're the first person I've been able to share my deepest, darkest struggles with and not fear judgement.

I only hope I have showed you the same love and support that you have shown me. I've made it my goal to always make sure you know you are cared for, that you know I'm someone you can always turn to no matter what, and that when you have nothing else, you always have me. Death will not do us part, because I'll come back to haunt you, I promise.

Not a lot of people will understand our jokes about Mexican food, or our deep love for coffee, but we understand it and that's all that matters. I cherish the small similarities we share (which is a lot, because we're basically the same person). I love that when I hang out with you, I can expect to laugh until my stomach hurts and we'll sound like dying geese together. You are my best friend, my sister, my soulmate, and the greatest love of my life all in one.

If there's ever a time we are not friends, the world will have stopped spinning because nothing could wreck the bond we have. There's nothing I can say besides thank you; thank you for being everything I've ever needed even when I didn't know it. Thank you for the donut runs when I felt like I couldn't breathe through tears, thank you for the memories of following around cute guys in the mall when we were in high school *cringe*, and thank you for always loving me. I hope you know I will always love you too.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
