To My Friendship That Makes No Sense

I have no idea how this happened.

To My Friendship That Makes No Sense
Nicole Mascali

When we met, I would have absolutely 100 percent never thought we would be friends. We just looked like different people, seemed to have different interests and all around — I didn't actually really like you as a person.

But something changed. I'm not really sure what, but something. It happened kind of suddenly, too. We didn't have some awkward friendship that slowly bloomed into something amazing. It was pretty much just one day I thought, "Wait, he's awesome. I want to be his best friend" and boom — friendship.

So, all of a sudden you were the person I was calling at 3 a.m. because of some dumb boy, even though you had no idea that this boy existed. You were the person crashing on my couch on a Friday night, even though you had never been to my apartment before. You were the person holding my hair when I puked even though you had never seen me without makeup on. You were the person whom I called my best friend even though we knew nothing about each other.

That was OK. Actually, that was great. We didn't have to go through those awkward "are we good enough friends for this" moments. We didn't have to ask about the past. We just looked at the future. We didn't have to force lunch dates and nights out. They just happened.

And at the time, I didn't even notice. At the time, it was natural and great because all of a sudden I had a new best friend, and I couldn't remember a time without him. It wasn't normal. I know that, and honestly, I don't know if it could happen with anyone else. There was something about you and our friendship that was meant to be. Yeah, it makes no sense, but neither do we. Our not-normal friendship is probably linked to our not-normal selves, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

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.
