The 16 Thank-Yous My Best Guy Friend Deserves

The stereotype that men and women can't be friends, is hilariously untrue to me.

The 16 Thank-Yous My Best Guy Friend Deserves
McKenna Tunney

Thank you.

I feel that I can speak for most people when saying finding a genuine friend of the opposite sex can be hard to come by. If you get yourself one of those, don't let them go.

I knew since the first day I met you that you'd be stuck with me for life.

I look back and cry laughing at all the memories that we've made thus far, and I truly can't wait for all the ridiculous mems to come. Don't know what I would do without your killer dance moves and amazing/horrible taste in music.

My best guy friend is someone that I can truly confine everything in, and he is able to give me different perspectives that other girlfriends may not be able to give me. I probably don't say it enough for how grateful I am for that kind of friendship, love you kiddo.

So, thank you for:

1. Constantly looking out for me, in every single aspect of life.

2. Calling me on my shit.

3. Thank you for having interventions with me when I'm doubting myself, specifically banging on my door -- literally and physically lifting me up, to keep pushing on.

4. Being an amazing male role model in my life, when I may not have any others to look towards.

5. Bringing to my recognition that I am beautiful inside and out.

6. Literally dropping everything to be a shoulder to cry on.

7. Keeping my faith alive in the good intentions of men.

8. Not being afraid of what people think.

9. Being there for me physically and mentally when I don't want to be alone, and crashing on the couch and those long facetime seshes.

10. Being able to have hilariously stupid conversations, that can then turn to serious life-altering 6-hour conversations.

11. Taking on the role of the "go-to fake boyfriend at the bar."

12. Getting frustrated with me when I don't see my own potential.

13. Valuing and appreciating the advice I can give to you.

14. Having such an amazing work ethic and drive that keeps me inspired and motivated constantly.

15. Those killer hugs.

16. Being able to make me laugh the hardest I've ever laughed.

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.
