A Letter To My Best Friend

Because diamonds just don't cut it.

A Letter To My Best Friend
Huffington Post

Best friend,

You are truly a gift from some higher power. You are my sister, my partner in crime, my Netflix buddy, my therapist, my spellcheck, my editor, and the best boyfriend I’m ever going to have. Now of course I’m kidding, seeing as we are not in a relationship.

But you are an amazing person who makes me feel just as amazing. As a best friend you strike that perfect balance: supporting my decisions, but also knowing when to tell me my ideas are stupid. We like most of the same things, but our differences never seem to get in the way. We can acknowledge each other's opinions while also discussing, but knowing when we've gone too far. That being said, I love how we hate the same things. I vent to you and you complain to me in a way that is therapeutic and often times highly amusing for the listener. At the end of the day, I can just be myself around you.

We are like the two sides of the same coin. We fill in the gaps and weaknesses of the other in a perfect team. I swear batman and robin would envious us. You make me laugh like no one can because we have accumulated years of inside jokes and shared memories.

How lucky am I to have a best friend like you. Someone who doesn’t mind when I repeatedly hit them in the movie theater when a good preview comes on. Someone who doesn’t mind holding my hair when I throw up from too many shots. Someone who doesn’t judge me when I say “Let’s go get McDonald’s” at 1 am in the morning; because you had been thinking about it for two hours already. Someone who I can just let go and be utterly stupid with.

Every girl needs a best friend, to fill that place in her heart that only a friend can. To mend her heart when it is broken, or to make her heart swell with encouragement. Someone to share secrets with, someone to laugh with until you can’t breathe and you nearly pee yourself. Someone to go on road trips with and sing terribly in the car together. Every girl needs a best friend, and I’m so glad that you’re mine.

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.
