Thank you for being my sister.

To My Long Distance Best Friend
Maryann Robles

Dear my Long Distance Best Friend,

First I would like to say thank you for being not only my best friend but my sister. You moved right next door to me when we were little girls and continued sticking by my side no matter what. We did everything together, playing with barbie dolls all night, to planning out our future together.

You were my neighbor for over 12 years until your dad got a Job in Del Rio, 7 hours away. I remember the day you texted me that you were moving, and i couldn't believe it. You were supposed to leave once school ended but ended up staying for the summer to be in my Quinceñera. I never got to say a proper goodbye to you the day you left but you sent me a message on Facebook talking about our friendship and how you will always be my best friend. To be honest I had my doubts, that our friendship would last. Instead the distance made us closer than ever.

From miles away you were still there for me, a better friend to me than I am and was. I couldn't ask for anyone else to have by my side, besides you, my partner in crime. After you moved my life got tough without you. In the process you've helped me put myself together and look at the bright side of things. Even if it was hard because i didn't have my best friend to run to and cry about it with. You have never judged me for my mistakes, or the things i have done, but have helped overcome and learn from them. Unfortunately I feel like I'm not doing the same for you. So i want to say I am sorry for not being there when you really need me, for not holding up my end of our friendship, for putting others before you, and for being selfish. You have been there since day 1, and will be there until the end. I don't know any other way to say thank you for doing everything you have done for me and not backing out when things got too complicated.

You always used complain to me how I have given you so much such as sugar from my house to materialistic gifts, and that you have never gotten me anything. You're completely wrong, you gave me the best thing I could have asked for, you gave me not only your own friendship but 4 short years ago you gave me 2 new best friends. To this day all 4 of us are have become more like sisters.

Now to include the other two, you guys are my best friends. Even if we are a year apart, all live in different cities, and will soon have your own lives, you will never stop being my sisters. I will never stop loving you all. Yes I know this might sound cheesy but it's true. You guys have been there for me since my freshman year of high school up to now my freshman year of college. I have seen the three of you grown up to be strong, amazing women about to graduate high school and go off to college. In 4 years we all have been through thick and thin, dealing with boys, school, bitches who don't know how to mind their own business, and our crazy mothers. We've managed to survive that through distance, thanks to Whatsapp messenger.

Ever since we were little we always talked about about to college together at NYU, well obviously that didn't work out since we are both still in Texas, so we're going to have to settle for the next best thing, me transferring to your university. I have had to live without you 5 years and now that I have the opportunity to be by your side. I have to take it. Because Without you, my long distance best friend I would be a lost, hopeless, train-wreck. You are my rock and my soul mate, and I will forever love you no matter what.

-Sincerely your Long Distance Best Friend.

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.
