Open Letter To My Best Friend Since Elementary School

You got me through more than just school.

Open Letter To My Best Friend Since Elementary School
Bailey Laytham

Through the years, we've grown up, changed in every way possible, and had to many heart breaks to count. Our friends came and went, but you didn't. Since day one, we clicked. I was so excited for the lake trips with you, weekend sleepovers, and the secrets that kept us close.

You are one of the only friend I graduated with who was with me since elementary school. As most of my friends in middle school got new friends, worked toward getting in with the "it" group, and pushed me to the side for staying true to myself, you never left me. You accepted that and stayed with me through the years when I was walked on, used, and talked about, for wanting the same friends I had in elementary years.

It took me so many years to figure out that girls are really mean and they push you aside when you have nothing to give them. You were different. We spent the weekends together, laughed and sang in the garage for hours. Our parents are friends so it makes dinner with family ten times better.

I'm so glad we made it through all these years together, and without you, I wouldn't be the same person I am today. You've helped me grow into the person I am, and I can honestly say that one day I hope to be half the person that you are.

Now that we're in college, I was worried we would grow apart, but like all my other predictions, you've showed me to be wrong. We still talk more than twice a day easy with us being almost 2 hours from each other. You're finally happy with a guy who isn't treating you awful, and I love him already. However, no guy will ever my enough for you. You are so pure and kind-hearted and no one will ever match up to what you truly deserve in a man. I know when you read this you'll say the same thing to me, but when you find someone who treats you like this new boy of yours does, you'll know how well I've been treated and have been trying to get you to understand for months.

To end this love letter to my best friend, I want you to know a couple things:

1. You are worth every single thing that life throws at you

2. Insecure is just a word, you're so much more beautiful than that.

3. No matter what hardship you face, read God's word, and you'll find comfort in Him.

4. I'll always be here for you, no matter what

5. I love you

P.s. You're gonna change the world one day, and I can't wait to be there to see you when you do.

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.
