You're A True Friend

An open letter to one of my best friends.

Hannah Montana once sang the lyrics "You're a true friend you're here till the end. You pull me aside
when something ain't right talk with me now and into the night, til it's alright again. You're a true friend". And this friend is one of the best friends that I could ever ask for. She is my "wife", my "sister" and my ground. I go to her for anything at anytime and she is always there for me. She may do the typical things that any best friend, or at least a good friend, would do: but she has been here for me since the sixth grade and has not left since.

Dear true friend,

You are my other soulmate. You are the other half to me that knows what is wrong and how to fix it. You are the one who can tame my anger, sadness, and everything in between. My life would not be the same without you.

We do not talk to each other often anymore, nor do we see each other nearly as much as before. But it is said that real friends can go through months without talking to each other, and will remain just as close. And with you, I think it is most definitely true. Thank you for always having a shoulder for me to lean on or someone to vent to when I am upset.

I cannot imagine a world without our shenanigans and machinations. I love our typical white-girl Starbucks run and our random adventures. I miss our sleepovers and making posters with you. But I know that those experiences will have always brought us closer.

You are one of the closest, and best, friends that I have had the chance to grow up with. Whether it being you keeping me in line or finding ways to support me or cheer me up regardless of the circumstances, you always know the right things to say and do. You and I can talk for hours about silly little things or go to Plaster Fun Time, paint, and do subtle things. You are a one-of-a-kind best friend who has been there for me since the beginning of middle school. Then, we tied the knot in eight grade, making you my "wife".

I can never, and will never, be able to find another soulmate like you. Miley said it best as Hannah Montana: you're a true friend.

Love always,

your sister, wife, and weird-ass friend.

No matter what the distance is, no matter who they befriend later in life, a true friend will always stick by your side. They are your best friend, your weirdest companion, and often times: your other soulmate (if not your only soulmate). They are the friends who pull you aside when something isn't right and talks with you all night. And nobody can ever replace that true friend; because they are here until the very end.

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.
