Thank you for dealing with me daily.

A Thank You Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Gwen Adams

Dear best friend,

After seven years of sending daily “I’m annoyed” texts, I don’t know how you deal with me. Even after seven years of receiving your daily “Dylan O’Brien is perfect” texts, I wouldn’t want to imagine life any other way. Not only am I thankful you're my best friend but, I’m thankful for Teen Wolf and O2L for bringing us together. Here’s to seven years and counting.

West Virginia and Florida are nearly a thousand miles apart. Thank you for waking me up to daily pictures of Florida sunrises. It’s honestly better than getting a good morning text.

Nothing makes me happier than you going on one of your Dylan O’Brien sprees. If you're not talking about Dylan, you're talking about Kelsea Ballerini. I wouldn’t want to listen to it from anyone else. We don’t have the same taste in music, TV, or movies except for a few things and that’s okay. Just because we don’t have the same taste doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be friends. We can both agree that the office is wonderful. On Wednesday’s, we text each other about Riverdale as we watch it. I am so thankful to have someone to talk to about my favorite things with even if you don't like them.

Also, your daily snaps of bunnies outside your house are nice to get, rather than “hey what’s up”. After all, your favorite animal is a bunny. I mean - who wouldn’t like getting pictures of cute bunnies?

The best part about you is that we both LOVE Boston. We both love the New England Patriots. Having a best friend who loves the same teams as me is honestly a blessing because no matter the day, we can ALWAYS talk about our boys together and never disagree. Plus, it’s nice having someone by my side when I'm getting trashed talked about liking the best team. And we can both agree Julian Edelman is the best-looking player.

Another reason why I’m so thankful for you is that whenever I’m having a bad day, I know you are always there to listen to me. I know I can always count on you. I can trust you with anything and everything. Whenever I need advice, you are my go-to person. You always say, “I’m not the best person to ask but”, and then give me exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for always knowing what to say and when to say it.

I’m so thankful for our friendship. We don’t fight but, we don’t always agree, but I know that you are the best best friend anyone could ever ask for.

Thank you for always knowing what to say, for always listening to me rant, for always listening to my boy drama even friend drama, for listening to me in general, for the daily sunrises, and for everything. I’m so lucky to call you my best friend. I wouldn’t want anyone else to be my best friend. I am so blessed to have you in my life. 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.

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.
