An Open Letter To My Best Friend

I'd be truly lost without you.

Dear best friend,

When we first met, I had no idea you would end up being my partner in crime. Now years later, I can't imagine my life without you in it.

Through the years, you've never missed a thing. You were there at 2 a.m. for my anxiety attack that stemmed from yet another irrational thought. You were there for all the drama with other friends, the recurrent heartbreak and fights. You were there for everything throughout the high school years. You have always been my biggest cheerleader and my greatest support system. No one was happier than you when I got accepted to college and we both knew I was onto my next chapter in life. You are such a huge component to who I have become as a person. You are my inspiration and my motivation to keep pushing forward and to keep putting my best foot forward every day. You are my person.

I want to thank you for your unwavering commitment to me and our friendship the past few years. Thank you for being there for me not only when I need you, but especially when I don't. Thank you for never giving up on me even when the rest of the world walked out. Thank you for your compassion in times of sadness and your cheerfulness in times of joy. Thank you for constantly encouraging me to take risks and discover new things. Thank you for having my best interest in mind at all times. Most of all, thank you for being who you are because who you are is wonderful and I love everything about you.

When I look back on memories with you, I can't help but smile. All those Friday nights we wasted together just sitting up in bed talking for hours. It was nothing at the time, but now it's everything. Going anywhere and everywhere once you got your license. It's always been us against the world. We've spent years making this unbreakable bond between the two of us, a bond I will forever cherish even if it one day breaks.

I owe you the world for these past years we've spent by each other's sides. I anticipate what the future holds for us and I thank God for every day I spend being able to call you my best friend. I hope there never comes a day where I'm unable to say that. Even if there is, I want you to know, more than anything, that I will still always lend an ear or come running when you need someone. I butterfly promise.

Yours truly,

Your best friend

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.
