An Open Letter To My Best Friend

Sorry if this is all jumbled; it's hard to write about how much you mean to me.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend

How did I get so lucky?

You are honestly the brightest and most genuine person I have ever met. You are so caring even when you're being Greg Pikitis.

I know that you would do anything for me (except let me hug you for more than 5 seconds). You met me when I was at my lowest point. I didn't know how people could like me let alone love me when I was so messed up, but you did. You showed me that even though I hated me, you didn't. You made me feel like I wasn't so alone and that talking about things is healthier than keeping them hidden. I have only known you for a year, but you have helped me grow so much and you have helped me love myself.

You know me better than I know myself. You know my likes and dislikes, my favorite food and my least favorite, you know my whole freaking family. You keep me on track with my homework, my medicine, and my cheese consumption. You love me even when I'm being annoying and making stupid jokes or when I'm crying on the couch because I ate way too much dairy. Even though I tell you I hate you about 99% of the time, you mean so much to me and I could never actually hate you. You know how to make me laugh and you know which videos about pugs or SpEd will make me cry. You encourage me to become a better person. You're always there when I need moral support when I need a shoulder to cry on, and when I just need to rant.

There is no one I would rather go on adventures with. Whether those adventures are getting lost in San Marcos at 3:00 in the morning or going to your uncle's house on the lake, we always have a good time. I love our late night Walmart and HEB runs and our random Target runs. I would never trade any of our adventures for the world.

I don't know how I have made it without you. You are my rock and you are my person. I love you so much and I am so thankful that God has brought you into my life. I can't wait for what the future holds for us. I don't know if I've ever told you this, but I am so proud of you. You know what you want and you know what you have to do to get it.

Love, Sam

"Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses."

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.
