Open Letter to my Long Distance BFF

Dear Best Friend,

33
Open Letter to my Long Distance BFF
Mallory Root

"Distance makes the heart grow founder."

No, actually distance sucks. I miss having my best friend by my side, showing up to each other's houses uninvited or just taking drives with the sole purpose of blasting music and having a sing-a-long. But, while we may not be right next to each other everyday anymore, just know you have shaped me into the person I am today. I would be nowhere without you. The stupid fights and sassy, unnecessary comebacks have actually taught me that everyone fights and getting over the arguments shows true character. Thank you for all the food you (and your parents) have made me or blown money to get me because I'm a bottomless pit. Thank you for all the horrible pictures we took when we were younger because I can now use those as blackmail, or more importantly, on your wedding day to show your future husband how puberty hit you like a truck. Thank you for all the deep conversations we've had at 2am because our minds won't sleep. Thank you for knowing every secret about me and still loving me anyway. Thank you for staying in with me when everyone else wanted to go out. For sitting through horrible movies, unable to stop watching because we're in too deep. Thank you for listening to me complain all day and all night and not judging me. Thank you for taking me on vacations and letting me become a member in your family. Thank you for walking right into my house and for knowing where everything is. Even through the distance, we find ways to talk and stay up-to-date in each other's lives. FaceTime is our new most useful tool. Thank you for knowing when I'm in a bad mood, and for knowing how to get me out of it. We may not be right by each other anymore, but just know you have a special place in my heart and are stuck with me forever. Distance means nothing when friendship means so much. Forever & Always BFFs.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
