7 Things That Only Long-Distance BFFs Understand

If ever the time comes that you and you best friends no longer live in the same city, it will be rough. I mean, you go from seeing them all of the time, to almost never and that isn't exactly ideal. However, if it is mutually accepted that this friendship has to work out, you are most likely familiar with the following:

1. Missing them all of the time

This is kind of self-explanatory. Missing your best friends seems kind of obvious but sometimes it will surprise you how much you actually do. It's like, a lot.

2. You forget that they have lives.

If your friend is ever occupied or takes longer than usual to answer a text, it almost always feels like a personal attack on you. In reality though, they're busy, just like you. You're just being annoying.

3. You would give just about anything to do everyday things with them.

Doing anything with them would be great, but it's the little things like going shopping or doing your nails together that makes it feel the most like when they were around all of the time.

4. Hearing about their lives brings you immense joy.

They could be telling you all about a new guy they like or what they bought at the grocery store, but you'll listen to either with the utmost excitement. It doesn't really matter what is being discussed, you're just excited to be talking to them.

5. You wish you could be there to defend them when things aren't going so well.

They know that if they seriously needed you, that you would be there A.S.A.P to throw some deserved shade at whoever.

6. You are constantly looking forward to the next time you'll see them.

From the minute you leave their side, you are counting down the days, minutes, seconds until you see them again because you miss them already and the thought of when you guys do get together gets you excited.

7. When you do finally see each other, it's like no time has passed.

It doesn't matter how long it has been, when you do see your BFF, it feels like no time at all has passed but you obviously still hug them as if it's been forever.

Obviously having your best friend live so far away isn't the ideal scenario, but having a friendship like yours makes it all worth it. Through everything that a long-distance friendship throws at you, you know that at the end of the day, you always have someone rooting for you - no matter how many miles are between you.

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.
