A Letter To My Bombshell Best Friend

You're more than just the pretty girl.

A Letter To My Bombshell Best Friend

Let's get the obvious facts out of the way: you're gorgeous, your Instagram pictures are pretty solid competition for Beyoncé, you've got more friends than you cant count, your style is always on point, and you are nothing short of a local celebrity. I see through all of that, though, I see you. Now, let's talk about the less obvious things, the things most people look over. Let's talk about how there is much more to you than what people see

You're kind. With looks like yours and a social atmosphere so exclusive as the one you live in, it's easy to lose yourself in the day-to-day superficiality of it all. Even more so, it's easy to get caught up in how people define you and what they set you up to be. So, yes, you are beautiful and you're part of exclusive social circles, but you don't let that get to you. Your looks are one thing, but your approach to others is completely different. You are beautiful, but mostly because you don't feel that your appearance gives you an upper hand in this world.

You're brilliant. Let's be real, you are a total book worm. People may not understand how important your intellect and your future is to you, but I see through those Instagram party pictures. I know that your Thirsty Thursdays are preceded and followed by countless hours of studying. And even more than that, I know how 'street smart' you are, I've seen you manage through uncomfortable and often devastating personal hardships. People may not understand the extent of your brilliance, but I see how much you can shine.

You're tough. Absolutely nobody can trample you. There's never been a moment when I have felt the need to stand up for you because you fend extremely well by yourself. And, honestly, I know I can count on you to throw some punches around, the extent of your toughness is not limited to just words and wittiness. But you don't leave it at that. Resourcefulness is also one of your strong suit, something that's never really clear by just looking at your Twitter or your Instagram.

There's more to you than being 'you.' There's more to you than what you lead on, there's more to you than your social 'you.' I know what people see, the stereotype, the idealized girl, the shell of a girl who is otherwise so much more. So, I guess, what I want to say with all of this is that I see through all of that and I admire you for everything, not just what's on the outside. But even more still, I admire you because being beautiful on the outside isn't enough for you, and that's what truly makes you a bombshell.

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.
