A Letter To My Best Friends

You were always my light.

A Letter To My Best Friends
Kaytlin Heck

To my friends that saw me through my hard times,

If anyone knows me, they know the type of person that I am: happy, outgoing, and positive. However, just like the seasons, suddenly I changed. Instead of the happy, outgoing, and positive person that I was, I found myself sad, overthinking, and negative.

This wasn’t me, and everyone around me knew that. But for some reason, I couldn’t find it in me to change, however, my friends were the light at the end of the dark tunnel I was running through.

So, thank you. Thank you for always being here for me through a period of time in which I couldn’t find myself. Thank you for not only loving me on my good days, but thank you for loving me even more on my bad days.

To the friends that forced me to go out when I wanted to stay home, thank you.

To the friends that listened to everything that I had to say, thank you.

To the friends that were there to make me laugh, when I so desperately wanted to cry, thank you.

To the friends that were always there with countless amounts of advice, thank you.

To the friends that forced my lazy self to get out of bed and go to the gym, thank you.

To the friends that saw me at my worst, and still continued to stay, thank you.

To the friends that saw the potential that I had, and forced me to reach that potential, thank you.

I continue each and everyday to work on myself, and with the help of my friends, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I will admit everyday isn’t easy, but my friends never let me feel like I am alone. I couldn’t be more thankful for my friends who love me and continue to love me on my good days and my bad days.

The easiest thing my friends could’ve done was give up on me, and instead, they did the complete opposite. For that, I am forever thankful.

I love you lots.

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.
