To My Selfless Best Friend

To my best friend,

Hi! You know who you are! I am writing this to thank you for being you, but most importantly for being my rock. Without you in my life, I wouldn't be the same person I am today. You have guided me through my ups and my downs, no matter how annoying I could be, you still deal with me and I thank you for that.

I may not be able to fully cover everything you have done for me in just these few words, but it is worth a try, so here you go!

Thank you for listening to me ramble on for hours about the most irrational topic possible and no matter how crazy I may sound you still decide to listen with an open ear. Your open ear for the time we have been so close is what allows me not to go insane at times because if you know me, you know I can't keep my emotions to myself.

Instead of being a friend who just listens to me and nods yes, you don't. As my best friend, you take what I tell you and voice your opinion, no matter how harsh it may be, because at the end of the day your feelings are mutual.

Not only do you, my best friend, have an open ear but you guide me into making the right decisions, on a daily basis. Trust me, I know my decisions are not always the best but with the help of you, I can confidently make a decision that I wasn't so sure on before.

Thank you for adding to my food addiction and loving food as much as I love it. I never thought I would see the day where someone would love something as much as I did so thank you for joining me, three times a day (including family dinners), just to eat some delicious food. Seriously, I am not sure who else I could fathom to see three times a day and not be bored of.

Thank you for motivating me to be the best version of myself, even if you are having a low day. Times can get the best of us, but at the end of the day we have each other and I know that we both are ready with a plan of action, the second something goes wrong.

Thank you for being the first person to come to my rescue in times of need. Whether it's to help me hang a picture on my wall or being my shoulder to cry on, you have always been there for me.

Thank you for being my number one cheerleader and fan. You truly are the most selfless person I know. You have supported me in every endeavor I tend to take on. You have shown up at events without me even asking. And with that, I show an abundance of gratitude toward you.

Thank you for being my best friend, my partner in crime, and my go-to person. You, my friend, hold a special place in my heart that would take a lot of replacing to do. And with that, I love you more than you will ever know.

XOXO,

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.
