An Open Letter To My Current (And Ex) Bestfriend(s)

An Open Letter To My Current (And Ex) Bestfriend(s)

This is hard for me, because there's so many of you that I call my best friend. Are you the one that let me cry on your shoulder for an hour after my first heartbreak, or the one who calls me every day just to talk?

Why can't it be all of the above? I feel selfish sometimes for claiming that I have so many best friends when some people claim they don't even have one. Why is there a limit, though? It's OK to have more than one best friend. In fact, I recommend it.

From having all of you, I've learned something different. I've learned you can be best friends with someone you've loved. I've learned that sometimes, just having a friendly voice to tell you that you're a bitch and absolutely wrong is what you need.

So, to my best friends, I want you to know how grateful I am for all of you. Not just because you deal with me when I'm completely irrational or still love me after I say some pretty mean things (sorry for what comes out of my mouth when I'm angry), but everyday you teach me more and love me endlessly. Thanks for helping me stand on my own two feet when I felt like I was losing the ground below me. Thanks for all of the hugs. The kisses. The late nights in hammocks or trampolines or under the stars where we talked for hours.

Thanks for talking to the nerdy new kid. For sitting next to me. For being by my side through hell (high school). Thanks for asking me out to dinner even after you saw my lame moves at that one party. Thanks for being my lovers, worst enemies, boyfriends, girlfriends (because according to some rumors we acted "a little gay" in high school), and thanks for being the biggest support in my life.

And to my ex best friends, know I still think of you every day. No matter what we put each other through, that bond will always be there. We will always mean something to each other, even if it means we only meant something to who we used to be. Who we were before something changed and someone moved on.

And finally, to current, old, and futures best friends, I'm sorry for hurting you. We always tend to hurt the people we love the most. I'll always wonder why it's like that.

I love all of you guys and never want to take you for granted. It's rare to find people that stay by your side. I'm lucky to have some of the best.

Of course, I'm biased.

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.
