To The Friend I Didn't Think I Needed, I Can't Imagine My Life Without You

I have amazing best friends and I never thought that I needed one more, but now I can't imagine us not being friends.

Dear Friend,

When we first met, I thought that my life was great, and I honestly thought you didn’t really like me when we first met. You seemed shy, and I don’t do well with shy people, I tend to be too much for them. We barely spoke the first time our groups of friends hung out, and that was ok.

A few weeks went by, you and I finally had an actual conversation that was away from the world. We both laughed at when we first met because I thought you didn’t like me, and you thought I didn’t like you. Turns out it was just a miscommunication, and I’m glad that in that moment I truly got to know you.

I thought I had all the best friends I needed in my life, but I was proven wrong. You are this free spirit, with zero cares in the world, and I wish that I could be more like that. I always thought I was that kind of person but when it came to proving it I would shy away. You have brought me more out of my shell then I ever thought could be possible!

I had no idea that I needed someone like you in my life.

You aren’t the friend that I call to gossip with, you aren’t the girl I call to complain or give excuses to... You’re someone I call to talk about my experiences in life and discuss what I am going to do next. You let me bounce all my wild ideas off of you and you tell me if I’m actually crazy or not. You’re someone that I live in the moment with and don’t care about anything or anyone. I never think about the what ifs when we are together and it’s my piece of freedom in life.

I have amazing best friends and I never thought that I needed one more.

The universe knew exactly what it was doing when it decided that we needed to be friends. It’s been four months since we met and I couldn’t imagine not having you by my side. You bring out this free spirit in me that I was always scared to reveal because I was insecure about myself. Seeing you be so free and have zero cares in the world, with borderline zero drama in your life has been exactly what I needed.

There is never such thing as too many friends in life, but I like to keep my close people limited and I’m so glad that you’re in my close circle of friends that I call family. If someone would’ve told me that we would be this close now from the first time we met, I would’ve told them that they were CRAZY and don’t know what they’re talking about.

Now we’re here and I can’t imagine not having you as a best friend! Thanks for being the friend I thought I never needed, and the friend I didn’t think I could find, you’re the best and I don’t know how to thank you for helping me in ways you can’t imagine.

Thank you, see you soon!

Sincerely,

Just One Piece of the Package

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
