To The Best Friends Who Have Been There For More Than Half My Life

You don't know how much I appreciate you.

Life is weird. It can be so hard but it can also be pretty amazing. Because it is so up and down, there needs to be constants, things you know will always be there, people you know will always pick you up when you're down.

So to my best friends who have been there for more than half my life I just want to try and say thank you:

For pretty much everything:

I cannot stress enough how much your friendship means to me. I cannot begin to thank you for all you have done for me over the years of our friendship but I can spend the other half of my life trying to figure it out.

For giving me something to look forward to:

I don't think you realize how much I look forward to doing nothing but driving in one of our cars and singing along to our favorite songs with the windows down. The older I get the more I realize that those moments with you guys are one of the simple times when I experience what true happiness is.

For the countless memories and laughs:

I don't think there is ever a time that I laugh harder than when we are all together. Looking back on the years we have changed so much and done so much together that you can't help but laugh at. I thank you for making me laugh always. No matter how upset I am, being with you guys is sure to get me laughing again.

For never leaving.

I can totally be the worst sometimes (I'm openly admitting that thank you.) But somehow, by some miracle you guys have never left. I don't know what I would do if you did, but it's comforting to know I'll never have to worry about that.

For being the best when I was experiencing the worst:

From breakups, to fights with my family, to stress from school, and even being too hard on myself, you both always know how to pick me back up and tell me that it's all going to be okay soon. The best part is that no matter how many times I don't believe you (Cause lets be honest I never do the first time you tell me) you're there to remind me over and over.

And most importantly for being there for the good.

In life it's all about the first person you want to tell good news to. When something good happens I cannot wait to tell you both because I know that you will be just as happy for me if not happier. You will celebrate it with me and make me feel like I truly deserve all the good and there is nothing that could ever compare to that.

The bottom line is I'd pretty much be lost without you. We've grown up together, been through it all together, and I would not have it any other way. I can't wait to see where life takes us (and for us to help plan each other's weddings) (and for our kids to be best friends) (duh.) From the bottom of my heart thank you guys for being you. Never forget how special you are and if you do, I'll be there to remind you every day.

Love you guys

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.
