An Open Letter To My High School Girl Group

My best friends are like fairy tales, they've been there since once upon a time and will be there until forever after.

To the girls that have been with me since forever,

I honestly love you guys so much. One of the greatest gifts of life is friendship and I honestly feel that you guys gave me that. You were my first friends and I love how we have never broken that bond that we've had. People ALWAYS say that you lose friends throughout life and that friends grow apart, but that has never happened to us and I am beyond thankful for that. They also say if a friendship goes past seven years, then it's meant to last forever. We've been best friends for over 10 years now and I know that we are all meant to last forever.

Starting back in elementary school, we would hang out here and there but mostly talk in school and share little notes. And then we wrote a song together. A WHOLE SONG. You guys honestly made my days. I remember moving up to 5th grade, and three of us were in one class and the other three in another and I was devastated. But of course, we didn't let that change anything.

Then starting middle school, two of you went to private school and I remember all of us thinking we wouldn't be able to go on without seeing each other every day anymore. However, it was even like that throughout high school and we still seemed to be able to be the best friends we always have been. We've had so many different names for our group, from the green grape group to happy tree friends. It makes sense as to why those names are so unique because we're a unique group.

We've been through so much together and have witnessed so many highs and lows of each other's lives. We've all been through multiple birthdays together, school dances, concerts, getting jobs, graduations, prom, and the beginning of college. So many special moments that I would love to relive in a second. Moments like these are the best memories that I have of my life. I am so thankful that the moments that I will look back on when I'm older will all involve you guys.

When I honestly think about the future, I think about each having our own lives and families but still being involved in all each other's lives. I see us continuously still meeting up for our annual Friendsgiving and Holiday Parties because we will still mean that much to each other later on. I see us going on little trips here and there to get away from the craziness that life will probably throw us. I see us hanging out with our kids together telling them stories about when we were younger.

As much as I think about my future, I most definitely picture you guys being bridesmaids at my wedding. You mean so much to me and as many friends as I'll make throughout my life, I know that you guys will always be there.

There is a quote that says "Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead. Do not write them on their tombstones, speak them rather now instead." This is why I wrote this open letter to you guys because I want you to know how much of an impact you have had on my life. So I am dedicating this song to you because as corny as it may be, I mean every lyric because no matter what happens, I will most definitely always remember you all.

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.
