My Best Friend Of  7 Years Isn't My Friend, She Is My Sister

I can proudly call you the sister I've never had.

Hey, You are probably reading this right now. You have been there for me like no one else has and I wanted to write this down, and share it with everyone else.

You and I are sisters, there is no use in putting the word 'like' in that statement because you are not like my sister you are. You are the first woman I go to about relationship problems, if I feel unsafe somewhere, or even I just need someone to talk to. You are my person, and I would not trade you for anyone else.

Yeah, we have had our fair share of ups and downs, but any friend of our length is bound to have occasional rough patches.

I still remember us talking in the lunch line in sixth grade, it was simple and we did not talk too much after that, but then we happened to end up sitting next to each other in lunch the next year. We would pass notes in class, ranging from random useless things to problems we were having in life.

We stood by each other when we both felt alone and we have been inseparable ever since. You and I are like kindred spirits, and It feels like I have known you since I was a small child. Together the two of us have been through an insane amount of things.

We have been mistaken for sisters since we were fourteen, helped each other through tough relationships, performed together in color guard, dealt with the seemingly endless drama that followed us, became co-workers a one point, you and your family let me stay with you when I needed a place to stay, and we constantly bug each other.

I can not tell you how grateful I am for all the times you have listened to me whine, cry, and even rant over my ex, through all the times you and I 'stopped' being friends, and for all those late nights where I needed someone to just keep me company as I did my homework or someone to talk to when I decide to go to the dining hall by myself.

You have supported me through thick and thin, you helped pick me up when I fell into pieces. Lord knows I have done the same for you. We both have been each other's first line of defense and attack.

With you asking me to be your maid of honor when the time for your wedding to comes, I realize just how much we have been through as friends. We are more than sisters or friends, words can not describe my gratitude, and (friendly) love I have for you.

I can not wait to see what the future has in store for us. I can not wait to see you marry the man of your dreams, start a family and be there supporting you through it all. I can not wait for our future kids to grow up together as childhood friends, for us to grow old together, and to show the world just what the two of us are truly capable of.

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.
