An Open Letter To My Soulmate

Dear Soulmate,

No, I am not talking about my boyfriend (do love you, though). This one is for my best friend.

As I write this, we are getting ready: listening to your favorite Pandora station, and you keep dancing around the room carelessly. I remember all the times we have done this exact same ritual. You were my first roommate at Eastern, even though we both didn't think it was going to work out. Now, we finish each others sentences, eat the same thing at every restaurant, and love to hate the same things.

You're the ecstatic, extroverted, always-down-for-a-good-time personality, while I can sometimes be reserved and introverted. When we first met I had just gotten out of a bad relationship and really needed someone to fall back on, and you turned into that person, and I don't think you knew it at the time. You have always been there for my lowest points in life, and loved me during my highest. You know all the boys that have broken my heart that other people don't even know existed. You know what to do when I'm having a bad day, and you know what I like do to during the "best days." You have changed my life more than you ever thought was possible.

My funniest college memories were with you. Remember that one time when we had the same Bio Lab and didn't even know it until we walked to class together one day because we sat on complete opposite sides of the room? Or when we would get sick of campus and spend every single weekend in Lexington, and the best was when it snowed us in and it was up to our knees and we acted like it was the end of the world.

As we keep going through in this college experience we are sharing together, we are both changing. We are both more independent now that we aren't in that cracker box of a dorm room, even though I do miss that. I miss opening the door, accidentally smashing it into your closet door, and seeing you sitting there on your bed. But now, I either come to your place or you come to mine. Either works just as well (and usually my room is more clean anyway).

I really hope that I could have the same effect on your life as you have had on mine. I hope that I have made you smile just as much as you've made me smile. I hope that I have cheered you up at least a few times, even though you'd never let me know if I had. I hope that you'll always think of me the way I think of you: my very best friend. If a day ever comes that we aren't together, I really hope we get our shit together and find each other again.

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.
