The Dory To My Marlin
Madison Schwartz

I love you. I know I may not say it as much as I should but I really do. We have been best friends for so many years. I had many best friends before you but I think I finally got it right when I chose you as my partner in crime. We have been through so much together from break ups to family deaths. I have watched you grow into an amazing person and even more amazing mother. You are by far one of the strongest people I know.

We have had our rough patches and at times I have wondered if it was time for us to go our own ways. Sometimes it may have felt that we were in completely different places and didn't have anything in common anymore. But every time we hit a rough patch we came out stronger than ever on the other side and I am so grateful for that. I can honestly say that I have no idea what I would do without you.

I may not agree with all of the decisions that you make or the way you see certain situations but that doesn't matter. We can't always agree on everything. What matters is that I support you. I will always support you. Just like I know you will always support me. I'm not always going to like everything you say or do but I will always love you. We have and will continue to drive each other crazy but hey, we're girls, it's what we do.

I know I haven't always done my best at being there for you when you needed and I am sorry for that. Keeping up with a friendship when there is more than an hour distance can be difficult and I guess I didn't realize just how hard it would be. I promise that from now on I will try my hardest to be a better friend to you and will always try to pick up the phone when you call, even if it is at 4 in the morning.

I just want you to know just how much you really mean to me because I think somewhere in the almost nine years that we have been friends, I forgot to remind you. You are one of the most important people in my life and I stopped telling you that. So this is me reminding you that you are my best friend and nothing will ever change that. I will always be there for you and I will always love you. We have been through way too much to quit now.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
