Thank you for always being there for me. You were the one person who had ever truly gotten to know me and wanted to know what I was thinking and how I felt. Thank you for never calling me the "b word", even when I was acting like one, that just reassures me that you're a great guy and I'm lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for putting up with me crying about my broken family, when you have never experienced such issues and I hope that you never do.

Thank you for staying even when I fell in love with you and couldn't figure out how to fall out of love with you. It took me 3.5 years, but I finally did it. Thank you for making us take a break so I could move on and we could both be happy and making me learn to not need your attention everyday. Thank you for helping me find myself. Thank you for being brutally honest with me when you needed to be, even though I had to pry it out of you. I know you've never wanted to hurt my feelings but as my best friend, it's okay that you do, I need that kind of honesty in my life. I know we aren't speaking right now, and I miss you a lot, but I'm okay on my own. You forced me to realize my feelings weren't helping me or our relationship and I was isolating myself from any other friends I had. I hope that you decide to make up with me soon, but if you don't, I can live without you, even though I don't want to.

You are the brother I never knew I wanted. Someone I can hop in the car with and have no destination and just enjoy driving and sharing music with each other. Thank you for always being supportive of everything I do, even if you weren't so happy about my decision at first (like when I told you I was majoring in English). Thank you for being my #2 fan when it came to field hockey, even though you haven't been able to make it to a game. Thank you for listening to me whine about my freshman year at college, when you are just as busy as me. Thank you for being mature for your age, sometimes acting more mature than me. Thank you for dreaming about the future with me. I can't wait to swap crazy travel stories with you and hopefully experiencing some of them together. I can't wait to meet your future wife and hopefully she and I can be best friends too. I want to be the cool aunt to your kids even if I'm not really their aunt. I want you to be the crazy uncle for my kids and be able to have guy nights with my future husband.

This is only little bit of the never-ending list of thank you's I have for you and I hope you see this. Thank 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.

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.
