The Friendship That Made Me Open My Eyes

Being a kid I always had a lot of friends. I was sociable. Even after switching schools two times, I just made friends. I played sports, I was an outgoing person so it was easy. I never felt friendless, or that I could lose all my friends in one day. Well.. I was wrong.

Going through two and a half years of high school without any good friends who I felt would consistently be there for me was hard. It still is being a senior taking online classes because I just cannot take the public school atmosphere anymore. I can’t take seeing old friends, who are happier without me. It makes me feel weak. I don’t like to know the fact that they can move on and I can’t. I’ve never had anyone to move onto with. But luckily, I’ve found two girls who make me feel like people who don’t associate with me don’t matter.

So I’m here to say thank you. Thank you for laughing with me and thank you for just being there, just everything. So here’s a list of things that I’m thankful for that you guys do. It might not be all, but it’s some.

1. Memories

Thank you for the memories we have made, and memories in the making. I started my senior year doing online classes, thinking the only memories that I’d be making would be with my only friend.. My boyfriend. But somehow you guys came into my life, and have made it only better; I’m so excited for the memories to come. So thank you for that.

2. Including me

They say 3 is a crowd, but not with us. Being the third wheel sucks, I’ve been it so many times. But I don’t feel like an outsider with you guys. That’s such an amazing feeling that I can click so well with you two.

3. Being there

It’s hard only having your boyfriend there to talk to about girl stuff. Because sometimes he really just doesn’t care. Whether it’s drama, or the sunburn on my a** you guys are there to talk really whenever.

4. The laughs

Most people know me for my laugh. I love to laugh and be happy. I can say I’ve gone to long without out. I can’t even count the last time I’ve cried from laughing before we started hanging out. Even though that might sound crazy that I’m thankful for crying from laughing. But I really am. Thank you.

5. Making me forget

I have my bad days, and I have my good. But whenever you guys come over, any stress I had is gone. Whether it’s me fighting with my mom, or me complaining about whoever. You guys can always just make me forget any negativity I was going through. I can never thank you enough, I would probably be way more of a crabby person.

Thank you for giving me a good friendship. Thank you for accepting the way I am, and what I do. You have shown me what true friends really are, in such a little amount of time. I wish I could express in words how truly thankful I am that you guys just happened to tweet me, and we ended up here. You guys have shown me that, good friendships exist, and that there doesn’t have to be an expiration date.

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.

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.
