Dear Long Distance Best Friend

Distance means so little when someone means so much

Dear Long Distance Best Friend
Media-Cache

How are you doing? Yes, I know we just talked yesterday. I know what you had for lunch, and dinner, and your snacks in between. I know that you skipped your 8:30 class, you rebel. Yet that's not what I asked. I truly want to know how YOU are doing.

Since I moved, we don't talk nearly as much as I would like. You are my best friend, but sister would be a more appropriate term. It is so great that even after not seeing each other for a while, we are right where we left off as soon as we're together. Sadly, our time together is now short, and we don't get a chance to indulge ourselves in each others lives like we used to.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I wish we had more time. I wish we could spend every day together like we used to, and have five different conversations with each other at once. I wish I could be there to know how you're feeling. I wish I could be there to help you through the good and bad days, or to help motivate you when you need to get up but are in a deep sleep. I wish I could just be there, instead of simply being on the phone.

I know that changes like this in our lives are normal, and a part of growing up. I know that we are adults now, and that we have other things to worry about rather than who is coming over to who's house in the morning, or if we want to go to the beach or the mall. We can't fly by the seat of our pants anymore, I get that. I just want you to know that no matter how many miles are ever put between us, you will always be my best friend. I will always be just a phone call away, whether you need to talk to me for something important, or just need to tell me about how you dropped your sandwich right after you got it, and that you are traumatized.

I wish you nothing but the best in life. I can not wait to watch you grow and thrive, and be the person you are supposed to be.

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.
