My Unwritten Obligation to You

What your friendship means to me.

My Unwritten Obligation to You
The Mountain View Cottage

To my best friends,y my sorority, and my family,

I have loved each and every single on of you since the moment we met, and I fall in more in love with you all every time I see you. I can't thank you enough for the continuous years (months, weeks, days, hours) you've been there for me. You've stood by me from my middle school scene phase. You've stood by me the multiple times I changed my major. You've stood by me during my mental breakdowns because sometimes a girl just needs to vent. You've been through it all with me. I'm eternally grateful for each and every single one of you.

But I wonder if you know my hopes and intentions for our relationship?

Of course I'll be there to make you laugh when someone hurts you. I'll be there to pick you up in struggles. I'll be there to drive you to get food, or to the mall, or just to drive. But I want you to know that I am here for you when it's 4 am and you can't see the morning light. I am here for you when you hit rock bottom. I will be your guide back to the rocky path because you were mine when I lost myself. Without you all, I would've never found my footing. So that's what I'll do for you.

I will be your voice of reason when you're concocting some scheme, or when you get down on yourself just because you are human and you made a mistake. I will carry your heart with me wherever I go because you are my willpower, you are my drive. With you, I can do anything. So that's what I'll be for you.

I want you to know that even if we fight, because we're both incredibly headstrong, I still look at you with the same light in eyes. I want you to know that I will always be honest with you even if it hurts, because I would want you to be honest with me. I want you to know that yes, I will join you in your crazy adventures because you stood by me in mine. I'll try to be all this for you, and more.

You are not just my best friend, or family member, or roommate, or sorority sister, you are a part of me and without you, I would be nothing. Because the small pieces of you, make up my being. You taught me to love myself, and to embrace those pieces of me.

So no matter where you may be, across the country, down the road, or another country; I carry you in my heart and soul, and will be your person anytime you need.

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.
