A Love Letter To My Future Bridesmaid I Never Knew I needed

A Love Letter To My Future Bridesmaid I Never Knew I needed
SarahBeth Harrill

You came out of nowhere.

I thought you didn't like me but turns out all we had to do was bond over nails. Then one day my boyfriend told me I should invite you to hang out with me because he had to stay late at work.

It took so much courage to break out of my comfort zone and actually ask you to go to the mall with me. You said that you were free, so we went to the mall just like I did with my old best friends.

We talked and got to know each other more, but it seemed like we were so similar yet still a little different. We related on a level that I only did with my ex-best friend.

You were my first friend at school. Some people talked to me, but they were just being nice.

I thought it was weird that you have the same initials as my ex BFF. Even weirder that you have the same exact first name. The weirdest was finding out how similar your middle name was to her. You replaced her.

You understand my vine references, and you think I'm funny.

I feel like I'm writing a love letter. I pretty much am though.

You suddenly came into my life at the time I needed someone most. I had my mom, my best friend from high school, and my boyfriend. That's all I had before you.

Now I have someone to go shopping with, eat out with, work out with(well only once, but we'll work on that), and just someone to talk to.

I finally found a friend that won't steal my ex-boyfriend, someone who will tell me things honestly, someone who won't do the things my ex-best friends did.

I found the bridesmaid I never knew I needed.

So thank you for taking a chance on going to the mall with a girl that everyone thought was quiet.

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.
