Moving On Without My Person

Just like any long distance relationship, it's going to take work.

Moving On Without My Person

Everyone has seen Grey's Anatomy or at least heard of it. Meredith and Christina are the ultimate friend goals. Besides being the friends we all hope to be, they've brought about a term that we hear more and more.

"You're my person" is something everyone seems to say now. But I don't think anyone really appreciates what it means to have a person.

When someone is your person, they could be a boyfriend/girlfriend but more than likely it's going to be a friend. It's the person you call to hangout with when you need to do something and can't put your finger on what exactly it is. It's the person who knows when you ask "hey can we talk" that that means 911 emergency. Your person will show up at your door no matter if it's 2 pm or 2 am.

Your person is the one you call when you have something that needs burying and doesn't ask any questions. To have a person means there's someone to hold you together when all you want to do is fall apart.

So what happens when it comes time to move on to the next milestone in your life and your paths just aren't the same anymore?

College is scary enough just thinking about the course load. When you start thinking about what you're leaving behind, a whole new world of scary. How are you supposed to take on that much change with out your Yang by your side?

Just like any long distance relationship, it's going to take work. Your person may not be right down the road but they'll still be a phone call away. You'll have to find time in between your busy schedules to fill each other in on everything that's going on in your new stages.

Make sure to send each other your schedules and never forget Skype dates or daily updates. The distance has just given you guys new places to road trip to.

College is full of adventures and those include maintaining connections. As hard as it's going to be moving on without them by your side, just know they'll always have your back. Goodbye doesn't always mean goodbye. You'll always have your person through thick and thin.

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.

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.
