An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend

To the person who lives 300 miles away and still continues to be my rock.

An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Haley Colton

To my person,

I truly believe God places specific people in your life at just the right time, and you are the perfect example. The greatest of friends have come and gone out of my life, but for some insane reason, you're still here. I'm so blessed to have deserved an amazing person like you in my life.

I could go on and on about all the positive impacts you've had on my life. You have the biggest and purest heart I have ever seen, and it's the reason why you love the people in your life so deeply. I have never watched someone work so hard to get to where they want to be.

You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. You loved me when I was hard to love. You listened to me when I didn’t have a voice and let me cry to you when I was broken. Most importantly, you never gave up on me; that is special.

It's also very special to find another person who is the spitting image of yourself. It almost freaks me out when I think about how similar we are. Stubborn, too caring, extremely spontaneous and full of so much love and passion. We're each other's worst enemies, but I can't imagine being so brutally honest with anyone else.

You know me better than I know myself sometimes. You know what makes me die with laughter and the silly little things that make me so mad. You can tell through a text message when I am upset and then continue to do everything in your power to make me feel better. You keep me motivated on those days when I'm extremely unconfident and all I want to do is be lazy. You understand my little weird quirks and think I'm the most tired person in the world but you continue to stay by my side.

Wherever our futures take us, I know you'll be in mine every step of the way, and I wouldn't have it be any different. You fill my life with so much happiness, and I live for the moments when I get to spend short time periods with my long distance best friend.

You are the epitome of a beautiful human being. I hope that every person in this world has someone like you in their lives.

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.
