Thank You.

A Thank-You Letter To My Best Friend
Melonie Kinkade

"Friendship is one mind, in two bodies." -Unknown

Thank you for being my secret keeper, my partner in crime, and my other half.

Thank you for all of the times you stayed up and talked about boy bands with me.

Thanks for getting up and taking a jog with me at 4 in the morning because I told you I wanted to lose weight, even though you didn't agree.

Thanks for being my date to so many dances, even though you really didn't have to.

But, I'm glad you did.

Thank you for all of the late night car rides to the lake because, I was having a bad day and the lake is my favorite spot.

I need to say thank you for so many things, because I don't tell you enough.

Most importantly, thanks for being you.

Our friendship means the world to me.


I don't think anyone could put up with me the way you do.

We've grown up to be incredible people together.

We're not perfect by any means, we've had our fair share of fights. One that almost cost us our friendship. But what set of best friends don't have their fair share of fights?

It didn't though, and I am so thankful for that. Because even though we only went a few months without talking, it was awful.

Our friendship is irreplaceable.

We don't hang out as much as we used to, and I miss that.

It used to be, if there was one, then the other wasn't far behind. We've both grown up and started doing our own things.

We're growing up, and I miss seeing you everyday.

There are not enough words to express how thankful I am to have you in my life.

You've seen me and my darkest times, and you still chose to stay by my side, when everyone else decided to walk away. I can't thank you enough for that alone.

You've helped me figure out who I am and who I want to be. You've helped me learn to love myself.

I'm so glad I had all of those summer days and nights with you.

I'm so glad I started my freshmen year with you by staying up all night and regretting it later on that day.

You've been there through some of the toughest losses.

You were my shoulder to cry on when I lost a few important people, who had become your family as well over the years.

My family is your family, and they always will be.

Thank you for the many times you had my back in an argument.

Thank you for all of the dates you have tried to set me up on.

Even though most of them were awful, I'm still glad you did it.

Thank you for being the person I can tell anything to.

Thank you for every thing you've ever done for me. I appreciate all of it.

But most importantly, thank you for being my best friend, my secret keeper, my partner in crime, my sister, and basically my other half.

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.
