A Letter To My Lifelong Best Friend

Because of you, I laugh a little harder, cry a little less, and smile a lot more.

A Letter To My Lifelong Best Friend
Summer Eckles

Who would have thought our friendship would come this far. Having you in my life has been one of the best things to ever happen to me. A best friend is someone you can count on for everything, and at this point in my life, you have fulfilled that purpose. Looking back to when we were kids fills my heart with joy. There were so many memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. From playing tag, to making up dance routines, to having endless sleepovers over the summer, I can honestly say that those were the best days of my life.

I can remember the day we met like it was yesterday. To be able to say that we have been friends for our whole lives makes me so happy. I can still picture every memory we have together in such vivid detail because you have made such a strong impact on my life. We've been through so much together, some good, some bad, but our friendship only grew. We could sit and reminisce about places we've went over the years, but we would be talking for days.

Thinking back on my life, I don't remember a time without you in it. We have literally been friends for as long as I can remember. Our friendship means more to me than you will ever know. I value who you are as a person, and I truly believe that people should strive to be like you. You are so genuine, trustworthy, honest, and beautiful. I don't even think it is possible to picture my life without you in it. I can not thank you enough for always being there for me.

The first person I call when something eventful happens is you. The second my mom would tell me I could "bring a friend" with me to a family trip or event, I called you. I have cried on your shoulder many times, laughed so hard I snorted, and annoyed you like I was your sister. I can completely be myself around you, and I know you would never judge me.You have always been there for me when I needed you the most. A friendship like ours is one of a kind, and for that, I am forever grateful.

As life goes on and we have our own lives, families, and busy schedules, I am not worried about our friendship ever fading away. What we have is a bond that can never be broken, and I know for a fact that we will be best friends for a lifetime. I can not wait to be in each others weddings, be the God parents of each others children, and grow old together. I just want you to know that you can always count on me for anything, and I will always be there for you no matter what. I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for being you, best 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.
