21 Signs You've Found The "One"

Every day people ask the question "When am I going to find the one?" And by the one, of course I mean the destined, soulmate-level best friend you've been waiting for your whole life!

Early 2000s sitcoms and classic Disney movies have shaped our moldable minds into the conclusion that a happy life requires that one loyal and inseparable friend we'll have forever. The search is constant, and seasoned BFFs will tell you when you find the person "you'll just know."

Sometimes it is hard to "just know," so please keep reading for 21 indications you've found the one you've been searching for based on the most epic friendship online tv-streaming has ever brought us: Troy and Abed.

How you know you've found the Abed to your Troy:

1. You have a handshake or hand gesture greeting that only occurs with this person and is always executed at the same time without error.

2. When one leads, the other always follows without questioning.

3. You both relish in reverting back to childhood as often as possible.

4. As painful as it is to admit, there are things the other person are better at than you, but it doesn't form a riff between you.

5. Your best friend will never let you purposely embarrass yourself, no matter how comfortable you are in your own skin.

6. They understand you could never seriously be mad at them. It's impossible.

7. You're so close, you don't even have to finish each other's sentences for others to know how in-sync you are.

8. You're always prepared for the jealous haters trying to suck the fun out of your relationship.

9. You always want that person to be the one to break hard truths to you because it is comforting hearing it from him/her.


10. You can be your FULL self with them, and his/her weirdness makes you love them even more!

11. The one is never afraid to get sarcastically sassy with you to put you in your place.

12. You can't handle being away from each other for more than a day.

13. You are forever each other's plus-one to all formal events and parties.

14. Together, you dream up brilliant ideas, plans and schemes. (Others may not see the appeal)

15. You only want to share funny stories and experiences with the one because he/she will laugh and appreciate it no matter what.

16. You never judge what they wear or how they look, but you aren't afraid to call him/her out with fashion tips when necessary.

17. You know exactly what annoys them and try to avoid it unless you need a good laugh. (You know they'll get over it quickly)

18. When you need a hug, the one is the first person you go to.

19. He/she is your biggest fan and makes you feel like a rockstar every day by supporting and complimenting you.


20. You aren't embarrassed to ask him/her questions about social niceties or phrases that are obvious to everyone else but you.

21. There are very few things you disagree on, and you always have each other's best interest at heart.

If you have found the one- your best friend and better half of you — let them know how much you appreciate them! A best friendship is more than most people could ever hope for, and it can make a good life even sweeter and more adventurous.

So laugh. Go on adventures. Encourage. Comfort. Love. Share inspirations. Point each other toward Christ. Do all the things your best friend deserves because he/she do those things for you on the reg!

Significant others will come in and out of the picture, but the One is in it for the long haul. Be thankful. Your search is over. You've found the Troy to your Abed!

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.
