An Open Letter To My Best Friend

Thank you for absolutely everything

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
Jessica Fisher

I don't say it nearly enough. I don't tell you everyday how much you mean to me, or how much better of a person I am with you in my life.

Because of you, I have someone who I can always talk to, about anything. I can come to you with literally any situation. You understand my anxiety, and can help calm me down without making me feel bad or embarrassed. I know you won't judge me, or be upset when I disappear for a week because I need time to myself. I can send you endless screenshots of conversations, and ask you if I'm being dramatic, or ask you for your opinion and advice. You support me, even when I make decisions you don't agree with. However, you don't sugar coat the truth, and you do call me out when I'm doing something I know isn't good. You keep me in line. You constantly make sure I know how much I am loved, even if I feel like everyone's walking out of my life.

I just want you to know how much everything you do means to me. I can truthfully say I'm not sure where I would be, or what kind of person I would be if we didn't become such close friends. You truly are a one in a million person, and I don't want you to ever forget that. You are kind, you are intelligent, and you really are an amazing and important person. You matter to me more than I could ever express. So thank you, for all the hugs, smiles, and memories. But above all else, thank you for being exactly who you are, and pushing me to always be unapologetically myself too. I really can't thank you enough for being an amazing friend, day in and day out.

We have this thing, where we always tell each other I love you. We start of saying I love you, then I love you too. Then one person says more, and the other person says most. Except today, I want to take that one step further: I love you beyond what words can really express, please don't ever forget that.

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.
