My Best Friend, My Sister.

An open letter to my best friend:

My Best Friend, My Sister.

You,

I don't even know where to begin. Let me start by saying thank you. Thank you for voluntarily tolerating me and never leaving my side. Thank you for encouraging my craziness and loving me despite the fact that I'm totally nuts.

You didn't have to stick around. We've fought. I've tested your trust numerous times. I've given you a bad attitude for no reason. You didn't have to stick around, but you did. You chose to see my flaws as perfections and we became more than best friends. We're family now. You're my sister.

No matter the distance between us, our friendship has always been a priority. We can not talk for months and pick up right where we left off. We've created this irreplaceable, unconditional bond.

We have gone through so much together. You've seen me at my very best and my very worst. You're the one who had to fix me after I was broken down. You're the one who took me on late night adventures to get me away from stress. You're the one who dragged me to parties to make me more sociable. I wouldn't be half the person I am today if it weren't for you.

You've taught me that it's okay to be different. You've taught me not to depend on anyone else to make me happy. You've taught me how to love every piece of me and how to not beat myself up. You've taught me that no matter what happens, I'll always have a friend in you. You accept me for me.

Here's to all the summertime adventures. Here's to being partners in crime. Here's to never having to worry about losing one another. Here's to us.

You're stuck with me for life, whether you like it or not. I know the one person who will always help me, even if it's three in the morning is YOU. I know you'll never leave me without a shoulder to cry on and I know that you're only a text or phone call away.

Thank you for being the only person who has never left me. Thank you for being the only person who understands every emotion I feel. Thank you for listening to me rant for hours on end and not complaining. Thank you for being you. I love you and cherish our friendship more than you could ever imagine.

Sincerely,

Your crazy best friend.

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.
