A Letter To My Best Friend

Best Friend,

Thank you for sticking by my side through thick and thin. Thank you for being brave enough to tell me when something doesn’t look good on me even if it might hurt my feelings. Thank you for judging me for things that I rightfully deserved to be judged for. Thank you for calling me out when I’m being unreasonable. Thank you for knowing what was right for me all along, even if it took me too long to realize it. Thank you for never being selfish...ever. Thank you for going out of your way for me at all times even when it’s annoying.

Thank you for putting thought into every gift that you give me. Thank you for buying things for me for no reason other than that it reminded you of something that I want/need. Thank you for texting me 24/7/365. Thank you for motivating me when I need it, but more importantly, thank you for being lazy and eating like shit with me when I need that more. Thank you for constantly boosting my self-esteem. Thank you for always having my best interest at heart. Thank you for spotting me on that cup of coffee because you knew I’d get you the next one.

Thank you for making fun of my middle school self, and thank you for letting me make fun of you as well. Thank you for sending me funny Vines and tweets to help me get through a hard day. Thank you for giving me new music to listen to because we have the same taste. Thank you for encouraging me to spend way too much money at the mall because “I deserve it.” Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on. Thank you for having a drink with me at any time of the day, just because I need it. Thank you for ripping the pictures of my ex-boyfriend off of my wall because it was too hard for me to do it myself. Thank you for listening to me talk about every detail of my day, including what I ate for every meal.

Thank you for hating the same people that I hate. Thank you for giving every person in my life a chance. Thank you for loving my family as much as I do. Thank you for becoming a part of my family. Thank you for being just as afraid of the future as I am. Thank you for already agreeing to be in my wedding. Thank you for supporting all of the decisions that I make, good and bad. Thank you for being equally as excited about a good opportunity in my life as I am.Thank you for doing my hair and makeup when I have no idea what I’m doing. Thank you for letting me eat your food, even when I won’t let you eat mine. Thank you for watching the same shows as me so that we can talk about it together. Thank you for being as weird as me. Thank you for letting me sleep in your bed. Thank you for always asking if I need anything when you go to the store. Thank you for understanding when I need to be by myself.

Most importantly, thank you for being yourself, an overall selfless person. I don’t know how I would live without you.

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.

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.
