A Thank You Note To My Free-Spirited Friend

Dear Free-Spirited Friend,

I always knew you were a force that couldn’t be tamed. You are a dandelion and will go in whatever direction that the wind takes you. You are always down for adventure and excitement with all different kinds of thrilling people. And yet, I know you will never forget about little ol’ predictable me. You respect that I like to play it safe and won’t pressure me to try and be as wild or free-spirited as you. I love that you never try to change me. We have changed as individuals over the years and grown in totally different directions, but still, you always float your way back into my life. And for this, I am forever grateful.

Thank you for giving me space. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for understanding that I cannot talk to you every second of the day. Some amazing friends and I talk daily, however, our relationship is quite different than the one I share with you, and I totally understand that. My free-spirited friend is either too busy enjoying real life, or unintentionally forgetful to message daily. I am guilty of the same at times, and I do not ever take these actions to heart!

I actually enjoy the space in between our visits because it makes our eventual get-togethers that much more exciting! A wise man once said that absence makes the heart grow fonder. I believe you are a blessing and a very meaningful part of my life, even if we don't see each other every day. I’m okay if we hang out once every three months or even more. The bottom line is that I know you are always there for me when it matters most.

Thank you for not changing at the core. Sure, you may have new things going for you and I do too, but the best part of our friendship is that no matter the length of time between our hangouts, our friendship always takes off exactly where we left it. I believe that this is one of the most genuine measurements of true friendships, as well as other worthwhile relationships. I am always so excited to see you!

We have been through a lot over the years, and our friendship has proved to be stronger than all of the petty differences we may have had in the past. You will always be so special to me, and I will forever cherish all of our memories both old and new. We make all kinds of unexpected adventures, and stories everywhere we go. You are the dash of spice in my life.

Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the laughs. Thank you for never forgetting about me, my free-spirited friend.

I love you.


Sincerely,


Little ol’ Predictable Me

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.
