An Open Letter to My Best Friend Forever

The friend I have known, and will know, forever.

We may not have been friends at birth, but being friends since we were 6 or middle school already seems like forever to me! You know me way better than I know myself sometimes. You know my deepest secrets, as well as all the celebrities I would love to date!

I have cried with you and thankfully laughed with you many more times. We have had our ups and downs but through everything, I know that you are the one who will always be around. We are apart with school but when we finally talk to each other it's like we never missed a beat! Calling on the phone has not gone extinct probably because of us! Talking for hours never seems like enough time and even if we did talk every day we would still always find something new to say!

As my best friend, you have taught me to take chances and you have taught me to forget what people may think. You constantly push me out of my comfort zone and I could never be more grateful! After dancing and playing Marco Polo in Target, I don't think I have been judged by more people ever. Through you, I have learned how to truly be myself even if people are looking.

I know that I will never be alone and that my family is not the only family I have. Through every snarky remark and eye roll, we have made it out of those crazy teen years and into our adult lives. Soon we will be even further from each other; as we embark on our lives after school. Even though we were never at the same university, I feel that it was tie holding us together. I know that nothing will change and we will always be a best friend.

When my world seemed to be crumbling around me, as it has on multiple occasions, I knew I could count on you to help me hold it up. And when your world was crumbling, I was by your side — not because I had to pay you back but because you are my best friend and when you are hurting I am too. I have never known a person who could read minds until I met you! You have been able to know exactly what I am thinking and knew how to tell me! You constantly remind me of who I am and who I am going to be by not telling me what I wanted to hear but telling me what I needed to hear.

Thank you for allowing me to become a part of your family — and I apologize that you are now a part of mine. Not only do I know you will forever be by my side, but I know that I will always have your family as a support system alongside mine. And you must know that myself and my family are always here rooting you on!

Know that I appreciate your friendship. It seems like you have already been a part of my life forever, and I hope that forever continues on and on. Our personal families will grow and we will grow along with them and I cannot wait for that moment. Best friends forever is an understatement. Thank you for this forever and the future forever, I could not do this without you!

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.
