To My Long Distance Best Friend, You're Still My Number One

The miles are nothing to friends like you and me.

To My Long Distance Best Friend, You're Still My Number One
Meghan Owens

Dear Bestie,

It’s been a long time since we tore up the town on 'Thirsty Thursdays,' or lived only minutes apart. With the end of college came the end of our time in the same cities, and for a while, even the same state.

We’ve grown so much in the short year since then, but there are some things that haven’t changed a bit: you’re still my ride or die, my friend turned sister and my shoulder to cry on. Above all else, I’m still one of your biggest fans.

To the friends who become family, it takes more than a little distance for our bonds to fade.

I want you to know that I miss you all the time, even if I don’t always say so. I smile every time I think about all of the good memories we had together, even if we haven’t seen each other in a while.

It means the world to me when we do get to see each other. I know that no matter how much time was spent since our last shenanigans, we’ll pick up right where we left off.

I will never blame or resent you for being too busy, just like I know you understand when I get lost in my own life for a while.

Know that I’m only one call away when you need to cry because Derek Shepard died on Grey’s Anatomy, or if you just want to vent about what’s going on in your world. And I love every silly snap and picture you send my way — they help keep me up to date on your adventures even when I’m off having my own.

Life is crazy, winding, and unpredictable. There’s no telling if we’ll end up living down the street from each other, or in different countries. But one thing I can promise is that the miles are nothing to friends like you and me.

Love,

Meghan

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.
