Ten Reasons Why Having A Person Is Important

Recognizing the special role our "person" plays in our lives

Ten Reasons Why Having A Person Is Important
Redbubble

The way I've always understood having a "person" is that he/she is the first call you make after you've killed someone, so they can help you drag the body across the living room floor, help you hide the body, help you get the blood off of the floor, and then be your alibi.

After finally finding my person, I realized just how important they are and how much they bring to your life.

1. Hanging Out

You can hang out with each other when you are so irritated with everyone around you and don't know how to deal with people anymore. This works because you don't consider your person to be "people."


2. Complaining

You can complain about all of your problems to them because you know they'll listen, and while they might not have the answer, they'll agree that whatever it is sucks.

3. Your Value

Your person reminds you why you are valuable, especially when you don't feel valuable.

4. Laughter

Oftentimes, your person will be the only one who can make you laugh after a particularly difficult day.

5. A Different Version Of Normal

It's perfectly normal to go over to your person's house or dorm room and just take a nap.

6. Secrets


When you tell a normal friend a secret and ask them to keep it between the two of you, there is almost no guarantee they'll keep the secret. With your person, there are no doubts. When my person says "this has to stay between us..." I always think, 'well duh.' This is because every secret we've shared has stayed that way.

7. Speaking Of Sharing...

Your person is someone you can share 100% of your life with. There are almost no lines in regards to what can and can't be shared.

8. Teammates

No matter what, you and your person are always on the same team. It doesn't matter what it's about or what it would require you to do.

9. You Have Your Own Language With Your Person

There are always certain phrases that you can't use around people other than your person, because they won't understand what you mean. Oftentimes, this is a way you've explained a certain, ridiculous way of feeling to your person, but your person gets it.

10. All in all, your person is the best person you'll ever know. They'll tell you the truth (even when it hurts), they'll love every part of you (even the ones you see as broken), and they'll always be there to help you, no matter how far away they are or what time it is

So, thank you to everyone who is someone's person! We can't wait to grow old and be crazy old people together!

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.
