To My Person, Thank You For Being Perfectly You

It's safe to say that you are stuck with me now.

Everyone who's ever watched 'Grey's Anatomy' knows the quote, "She's my person."

This is not about getting her approval. It's about telling her... if I murdered someone, she's the person I'd call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor. She's my person." -- Cristina Yang

Every time I come across this quote, my mind goes right to you, my best friend, my person. Someone who you have a connection that is deeper than a friendship, but shares the same soul as you. That's your person.

To my person,

I have known you since basically my whole life since we were two years old to be exact. We have shared so many memories together that I wouldn't trade for the world. For knowing each other roughly twenty years now, it's safe to say that you are stuck with me now. You are my person I want to talk to when I'm feeling down and need a laugh or when I need to update you on my life.

You are my person when I need help just making a decision, whether I cannot decide what to eat for dinner or if I should go to the gym. Being at different universities, FaceTime is such a blessing. Your friendship is one of the single most important relationships in my life.

You have been through it all, the awkward phase of obsessing over the Jonas Bros to getting accepted to our favorite Universities. And all of the little things in between. Thank you for just being you, someone who has a heart full of gold. Someone who has so much determination and strength that I cannot begin to imagine. I look up to you in so many ways you might not even know.

For knowing someone for so long, you know that life without them would merely suck. Who would I Snapchat all day for no apparent reason? Who would I text about Netflix shows like 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'The Office,' etc.? I know I can always count on you. I cherish our friendship immeasurably. I cannot even begin to say "Thank You," because I know it is not enough. Though, I will say thank you for the millions of times you’ve shown up in my life and made it inexplicably better.

The kind of friendship where is so comfortable where sweatpants and a messy bun is acceptable. The kind of friendship where we do not need to keep score who is doing better life and who isn't'. The kind of friendship where I did not know that I needed until you walked into my life. That's why you are my person.

I know that God made us best friends for a reason, though I'm not exactly sure what it is, I can't imagine my life without you. The fact that I know we will be in each other's lives until we are at least 80 years old makes my heart happy.

Thank you for being you.

Sincerely,

Your person

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.
