A Thank You Note To My Lifelong Best Friend

When I first met you I didn't know you would be this important to me.

A Thank You Note To My Lifelong Best Friend
Michelle Russell

Dear Best Friend,

What I am about to tell you you’ve probably heard me say millions of times in every single birthday card I’ve ever written you, but there isn’t enough words or a multitude of times I can tell you how much you mean to me. I miss you. This letter is me telling you that I’m thinking about you. They say that people come into your life for a reason, and I know that to be true since meeting you.

We’ve been through it all. From our lunchbox days with those god awful straight across bangs and matching pigtails, to middle school when we were the epitome of awkward, to high school when we were trying to fit in and wore too much eyeliner. As we’ve gotten older we both are caught up in our own lives in different cities. Even though we go days without talking, it’s ok. I know the moment we reconnect it doesn’t take but a second for us to be right back to where we left off. That’s the thing. We've learned how to stay close for years while being miles apart. There are no limits in our friendship because we have built one that will last, and that I am thankful for.

Thank you for opening your house and sharing your family with me. Thank you for sending me gifts when you couldn’t make it for my birthday. Thank you for never being judgmental. Thank you for dealing with me, seeing the good, the bad, and the ugly. Thank you for making me feel special when I needed it the most. Thank you for being loyal and never turning your back on me. Thank you for letting me confide in you. Most importantly, thank you for being you.

You have been my rock and my person through all these years. I know that you are only one text or phone call away. There was never a time where I had to second guess myself if I needed advice because you hear me out and tell me like it is with your honest opinion even if it’s not what I want to hear. You've kept me on track when I started to fall off the path, forever by my side. There are many moments when I realize how blessed I am that we met years ago, and you never left.

You have been one of the most constant things in my life. I’ve always had your constant support, love, and friendship. You will always have a special place in my heart as my best friend. Your kind words of encouragement is something that I always keep close. I will never be able to express how much you’ve impacted me and have shaped me into becoming who I am today.

When you do read this I want you to know how loved you are. I’m so proud and forever grateful to call you my lifelong best friend. I don’t know what I would do without you. Cheers to us and a lifetime of friendship and memories.

Love you long time,

Your Best Friend

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.
