To My Best Friend On Her Birthday
Daenne Dolce

Dear best friend,

I can’t believe you are already this old! I will certainly buy you a bright color can for your big day. See, this is exactly how we greet each other (it’s all love).

I was thinking of a great way to wish you a happy birthday while telling the world how awesome you are, so I decided why not write you an open letter? When we met three years ago, we were just lab buddies. Who would have thought that I would be writing you an open (cheesy) letter today? That semester we met, there were many, but only us two stick together. Now I am asking myself where were you those other 19 years of my life, how did I live without you? Since we met you have been here for me and have supported me on all the important events of my life. You have never missed a birthday, any important celebration, or my crazy girls’ nights. You've always been there when I need to vent even at 3 am, to help me pick outfits, to help me make hard decisions, and most of all to support me no matter what. I knew you were the best, but this confirmed it.

Me @ 11pm: so, Bestie this happened... and the only thing that would make me feel better is Denny's (oh yes I love Denny's).

Bestie: I'm sorry to hear that, but did you want to go the one in Midtown or the one by your house?

Me: by my house.

Bestie: OK, be there in 25 minutes.

Me: I love you, I'm in my PJs, I'm not changing.

Bestie: I love you more, and same.

There have been so many of these moments and of course laughter; I feel like I don’t thank you enough for our relafrienship (relafrienship in my life dictionary = a friendship which is more like a relationship) and for dealing with me daily. I still don’t know how you do it. So, on your birthday I would like to thank you for being an amazing best friend and most importantly my go to girl! I am very grateful for having you in my life; I can't imagine one without you. I thank God for the day I met you.

I must say I am very proud of you! You already know that “mama” is always proud, but I had to point that out. I’ve seen you grow into a fine young lady( not to say old), we have struggled together and I have seen you overcome them all. I don’t say it often enough, but Bestie I am proud of all your past and most recent (you know which one wink wink) accomplishments. I am confident that you will be going places.

I am very sad that I am not physically in Miami to celebrate your 23rd birthday with you. If I could I would be there and you know it. I am just happy that I could help you plan your celebration. I hope to you get to have fun; I know that nothing is the same without me (wink, wink) but please make the best out of it and WE SHALL CELEBRATE WHEN I GET HOME EVEN IF IT’LL BE MONTHS LATER.

I have so many pics I could post from our relafriendship and so much I want to say, but I think these should do.

Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BESTIE!

I wish you the best; I can't wait to see what the future hold for you. I pray that God continue to bless you with many more years to come.

I love you to the moon and back!

A lot of people don't have a best-friend, but I am blessed with two amazing souls (readers you will learn about the other one on another article).

Xoxo,

DD

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.
