Why Having A Long Distance Best Friend Rocks

Seeing her is a treat, not just an everyday occurrence.

“After all, seasons change, so do cities; people come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.” -Sex in the City

 

Lets be honest, it actually sucks having my best friend being about 975 miles away from me. But I wouldn’t give up my friendship with her for anything and this is why..

1. She can be more objective when it comes to issues in your life.

Of course I want my best friend to meet the new guy i'm dating but it's also nice having her so far away and not having met him yet so she can give me her non-biased opinion.

2. Seeing her is a treat, not just an everyday occurrence.

When your best friend lives close to 1000 miles away, it's harder to take her for granted. It was hard going from living in the same little dorm room and being with each other everyday to now only being able to see each other once every few months. But we make it work amazingly somehow. And with that…

 

3. When you see each other, it's like no time has passed at all.

Maybe it's from the daily face-times and phone calls or the constant tagging in pictures on Facebook and Instagram. Whatever it is, no matter how long of time passes with us going without seeing each other, it feels like we just saw each other yesterday.

 

4. You know how much your friendship is truly valued.

Living so far away and living two completely different lives now, it is easy to get caught up and lose touch. But somehow we haven’t managed to do that which shows how important our friendship means to us.

 

5. But no matter how far she may be, she's still my forever best friend.

Does the distance suck sometimes? Of course. I wish I could be with my best friend 24/7, exploring the world and making dumb decisions. But no matter what she’ll always be the Serena to my Blair.

 

I wouldn’t trade my long distance best friend for anyone closer, and I'm lucky enough that they really are just a plane ride away. (even though I wish it wasn’t).

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.
