A Soulmate Is Not Necessarily A Lover

More than just a best friend.

A Soulmate Is Not Necessarily A Lover
Natalie White

At 17, I think it's safe to say that I've found my soulmate. It's also safe to say that my soulmate is my best friend, not my actual lover.

A soulmate is someone that you connect with instantly, someone you can trust with your life and can't live without. After 17 years of making new friends and watching many friendships go down the drain, I came across a girl by the name of Heidi Marie.

It might sound like we've known each other for quite a while but, the truth is that until last year at this time, we've never acknowledged each other. It's even crazier to think about the fact that we were in the same dance class for that entire year and never said one word to each other. Now here we are, a year later, closer than ever!

Now the best part about having a soulmate, is that they know you like the back of their hand. If your sad or hurt, they automatically pick up on it and attempt to cheer you up. And just like any relationship, you will have those stupid, pointless fights. But the great part, is that no matter the situation, this person will always be there to pick up the phone.

For me, I knew instantly that I had found my soulmate. The more that I got to know Heidi and spend more time with her, I discovered she only wanted the best for me, as I do for her. She never dragged me down and made me feel bad about myself. Instead, she taught me to be proud of who I am. Heidi Marie is the type of girl who never talks behind my back. She always tells me what I need to hear, straight to my face.

Most importantly, a soulmate is your 'ride or die.' Always there for you, no matter the day, time, weather, etc. They're always there when you need them the most. They'll bail you out of any situation, except I know my soulmate, Heidi Marie, wouldn't be bailing me out. She'd be in handcuffs right beside me, lol. But that's how I know she's not just my friend or sister but, my soulmate!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
