In This Article:

I am forever grateful for the endless amounts of things you have done to keep me sane. Sometimes life gets the best of any of us, but there's never a day one of you won't listen to me. I'm difficult sometimes, and I take my frustration out on those close to me, but that never fails you from being a shoulder to cry on.

Friends come and go, but I'm confident that you are friends to stay. There is no group of people I have felt more comfortable to enclose my toughest times and biggest secrets to. Without judgment, or maybe a little judgment at my stupidity, you never fail to talk me through the situation and make me feel confident that life goes on. The things and stress I am dealing with are bearable. I can't let one bump in the road determine who I am, or how I perceive myself.

I can be hard to talk to, hard to get ahold of and sometimes I don't listen, but you still care, and for that, I am thankful. I can't begin to express how glad I am for the things you do for me. I am forever indebted to you. You are my rocks and my backbones. Most importantly, you are my people. I appreciate everything you do for me. I only hope that I can reciprocate the same amount of comfort to you because you deserve that.

People lose touch, and although we don't speak every day, I am confident that I could call you at any time, or any place with any situation I need. Just recently, I found myself lonely, and uncomfortable. I found any reason to avoid social situations, and I spent the majority of my time in my dorm watching Netflix or attempting to do homework. You came along and put a stop to that. You have picked me up from some of the darkest places I have ever seen myself. I continue to entrust that kind of faith in you because I know you'll always be someone to lean on. I know for many years from now, I can continue you to count on you for anything.

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.
