An Open Letter To My "Sisters"
Anthony Robinson

You guys have been there for me through thick and thin and I don't think I will ever find the right words to thank you. There will never be enough words to show my gratitude towards you. You all have made such an impact in my life and helped make me the person I am today, and for that I owe you everything.

Whether I've known you for 17 years or 5 years... you guys have been there when no one else has. You saw me through my darkest of times and was able to bring me out and focus on the light. You helped me appreciate the little things in life that I took for granted. You gave me words of encouragement when I had no fight left in me. You guys have been my rock and I honestly am terrified for the day I will no longer have you in my life. You gave me the best memories that I will hold on to until I'm on my death bed.

I don't think I ever give y'all enough credit. I feel awful when you are always there for me but I can't always return the favor. You guys have answered my 4 a.m crying calls, held my hand through tattoos, went on vacations with me and stood by me when all I did was hurt you. I don't understand why you put up with me, all I know is that you are truly amazing. You know my deepest secrets and fears and put me first when you had more important things going on.

I just want you to know that your actions are recognized. I love you all more than you will ever know and I will always stand by you. I will do anything for every single one of you, y'all are my partners in crime. I honestly consider you a part of my family. You are my sisters and I cannot imagine any kind of life without you.

Leaving you behind while I went to school was the hardest thing ever. For one of you, it was our first time apart since 1999 and it's completely heartbreaking not seeing you pretty much everyday of the week. Not having you just around the corner from me is saddening. Not being able to physically be there for you in your time of need breaks my heart. I long for our phone calls or FaceTimes, or even our short text messages. Those are the things that make my day a little bit better. Knowing that our friendship has survived being miles and miles apart makes me realize how special you are to me.

I plan to have you in my life forever. I plan for you to be my bridesmaids and maid of honor. I plan for my kids to someday know your name and have a friendship like we had... both the good parts and the bad. I plan on being those crazy old ladies who have no clue what's going on. You guys are the best part of me and I want you to stay with me forever. Now I know that not all friendships are made to be forever... but I can hope and pray that we aren't the case. I will fight and die for you. I will go to the farthest of lengths for you. You guys are the only soulmates I need.

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.
