A friendship from the woodworks

Funny thing life is. Life is so beautiful, unqiue, and individualistic. No two people live the same life. They may experience the same things, be given the same opportunities, have the same goals and aspirations, but their lives are completely different. Thats what makes it so funny. Life a path one travels down full of experiences and memories, heartbreaks and happiness, love and laughter, friendship and family, and above all spirituality (for some). We start out as a sparkle in our parents eye and development into the person we are today while growing in our mothers stomach. Our family raises us, showing us the ins and outs and teaching us the most they can so one day in turn, we will grow up to be a great person and do the same thing for generations to follow. But one day, in the middle of your funny life with all its twist ans turns your parents arent there anymore. You find yourself away either working or going to school and growing up and becoming independent. Before you know it, college if thats the path you decided to take is close to an end and real life the kind that you think will never come because you're going to be young forever has hit you square in the face. It's here. It knew no time and doesn't care if you aren't ready. Our first thought is to go back to our childish ways and run to our parents because were scared and were not ready. What if your parents arent there. Like mine. My parent is gone. My Dads life abruptly ended a few months ago and i cant run to him anymore. Who do I go to now? Her. The girl who saved my life. The acquaintance who was in my sorority and in some of my classes. Who was a friend but not the friend who you hangout with all the time. A friend who you loose touch with when school lets out on breaks. A friend that is good to be around but if not thats okay too. A friend who is genuinely nice and kind but not someone you cannot live without. This is what she was to me before my Dad died. Now she is my world. My rock when im in a hard place. A bestfriend. A soulmate. A girl who stepped up and stayed by my side when everyone else returned back to normal. The girl who saved my life. If it wasn't for her, i dont know where id be in the funny life but i know it wouldn't be good. Find a girl like her and love her unconditionally because I too was the girl that saved her life as well. We both needed eachother when life took a nose drive. Sometimes its the people you never expect to be the ones that do the most. To the girl that saved my life and became my bestfriend, thank you. Ill always love you unconditonally and whereever we may go in this funny life you know ill always be here.

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.
