Call us what you want: free spirits, hippies, old souls, tree huggers, or whatever else you can think of. You're never going to meet anyone else like us. We're the best friends, lovers, coworkers, advice givers, and everything else there is.

1. We're Always Down For An Adventure

Road trips are one of the best things in this world and we'll never turn one down. Whether you want to go eat at a new restaurant one town over or you want to see the waves crash on the coast of California, we'll always load up and go with you.

2. We Have The Best Music Taste

We tend to listen to music that most people don't so you're bound to hear "new" music from us. We'll have you singing anything from The Beatles to The Stones to Led Zepplin to the Grateful Dead, and we wouldn't want it any other way.

3. We Tell The Best Stories

From traveling, going to festivals, taking a few hits, and exploring, we've got a story to tell for just about anything you can think of. "Remember when we were in Africa?"

4. We're Wise Beyond Our Years

We're often described as "old souls" because we seem so wise. We give the best advice. We've been around once or twice so we see the world in a different light and always look on the bright side so it sometimes seems and feels like we've been on this earth before.

5. We're Very Thrifty And Crafty

We're surprisingly very good at saving money thanks to recycling and many DIY crafts. Out of soap? We'll just make it from things in our house. Too many cans in your house? We can make you a wind chime. Because of this, we get very creative when it comes to gift giving and you could end up with some pretty cool stuff from us.

6. We Always Stand Up For What's Right

We know what we're worth and we're not going to settle for anything less. If we-- or anyone else-- is being mistreated, we're going to say something. All this world needs is a few people in favor of a revolution.

7. Good Vibes Only

We're always smiling and laughing and that's all we want to make people do. It's virtually impossible to be in a bad mood around us because we won't tolerate bad vibes coming our way. If you ever need a smile, I can guarantee you that we've got one to give.

8. We Never Stay In One Place Too Long

This is a blessing and a curse. We hate to settle so we'll never stay in a certain place too long. We're constantly searching for our "home" and just making the best out of the journey on our way there.

Regardless of any negative comments you've ever heard about us, we're not bad people. We could possibly actually be some of the best people out there.

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.
