An Open Letter To My Best Friend

To the one who has refused to give up on me.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
Brian Rodriguez

To my best friend,

And the one who has stuck by me through it all. There are no words to describe how much you mean to me. Our paths crossed at the perfect time and I am beyond grateful for that. We’ve been through so much together, almost too much, but it only strengthens our friendship. You’re like the sister I wish I had, even though I already have two. I’m positive you would have been my favorite.

Thank you for believing in me when no one else did. Thank you for listening to me complain about the boy who would never reply to my messages but leave them on read. Thank you for working hard to build our friendship back up after we hit a huge bump in the road this past year. Not having you in my life is unimaginable.

I need that friend who will make me laugh just by looking at me a certain way. A friend who knows when something isn’t right and will bring me whatever it takes to make me feel better. Most importantly, I need a friend who doesn’t think I’m crazy for having my wedding completely planned by the age of 16.

Although there are too many to remember, my favorite moments are ones spent with you. From riding bikes around our neighborhood, and crashing family parties just for a slice of your mom's delicious pie. When people think I’m being weird, you encourage me to keep doing my thing. I know that wherever life takes us you will be right there with me.

I already see you standing next to me on the altar; assuming anyone is brave enough to marry me. You encourage me to become a better person each day and although we’ve had our fair share of fights there’s no one I would rather call my best friend. Thank you for being there to keep me sane, and to help me see my true potential.

PS: Don’t forget about the promise we made when we turn 40

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.
