To My Long Distance Besties

Who would have thought we would be in opposite corners of the world?

-best friends are never apart, maybe be distance, but never by heart.

Dear my long distance besties,

Where do I even begin? We've been best friends for years, since the very beginning. My day one O.G.'s. We've shared endless memories together. We've helped each other through the good times and the bad. And we know each others deepest and darkest secrets. We grew up together, and you helped to shape me into the person I am today. And yeah we've had our ups and down over the years, but who doesn't? But I honestly can't imagine my childhood or my teenage years without you gals by my side.

Back when we were running around in the park, having sleep overs every weekend, and bopping together at the little discos, who would have thought that by the time we reached 20 years old, we would all be living in different corners of the world. It seems crazy. Our biggest worries back then were "what dress will I wear this weekend" and "omg do you think he likes me back?" We would think about all traveling the world together, and about how maybe one day we would live in an apartment together. But you really never know what the future holds!

I probably don't tell you nearly enough but I want to thank you both. I want to thank you for not letting the hundreds of miles and the oceans between us tear our friendships apart! We don't talk everyday, time zones and school and work and life can make it pretty hard sometimes. But I always know that as soon as we do pick up the phones again, it's like nothing has changed. I know that no matter how tough life gets, the two people who know me best in the world, will still only be a text away! And while on the topic of thank you's, thanks for sticking with me through those awkward early teenage years. Looking back on some of the old selfies and questionable make up looks, I don't really know how we made it though LOL. Thank you for walking straight into my house and asking what was for dinner, and treating my family like your own! And thank you for letting me do the same. Thank you for years of laughter and tears and private jokes and I'll never forget. And thank you for picking me up when I was down, and making me laugh til I cried.

Now that we are all living in different parts of the world, and life is going in so many different directions, it makes me so happy to know that I still have two people like you in my life! One thing I know for sure is that I'll always cherish our friendship and the memories that we all hold, no matter the distance! I hope that what the future holds for all of us, no matter where we all end up, is nothing less than amazing! I hope that you both follow all of your dreams and achieve everything that you have ever wanted! And I hope that you both remember that I love you and miss you both everyday and that we will always be best friends!

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.
