You Made Me A Part Of Who I Am Today

An Open Letter To The Best Friend Who Has Been There Through Everything

You Made Me A Part Of Who I Am Today
Michaela Gallagher

First off, you are one of my best friends if not the best friend. There is nobody in this world who is as special as you, nobody who could ever compare to you because you are you and I love you for that. You have given me the second best gift in life; other than life itself, which is friendship and for that I am forever grateful.

If you think about it, picking out your friends is a weird concept; you look at a person, they look at you, you two bond, and spontaneously a friendship is born. Meeting you for the first time and deciding to be friends was the best choice in a person I could have ever made. I truly dedicate the completely clique statement "boyfriends come and go but friends stick around forever" to you because no matter how many guys have broken my heart (too many actually), it was YOU who told me to wipe away my tears and move on with life. It was you who told me to suck it up out of tough love and to find a real guy who actually cares. I didn't find it helpful at the time, but looking back, I couldn't have received any better advice. All the problems we have have faced, we have faced them together and will continue to do so. Our friendship is forever and our friendship is pure.

Being that best friend who has literally been there through everything is more than a best friend; it is almost like having a life partner except you most likely wont live with them. They will be one of the main people in your life forever. You know every little pet-peeve, flaw, and dirty secret which makes you more than capable of helping me when in need. You know exactly how to help me by just being there and being my best friend. Thank you for being the one who has made the biggest impact on my life. I absolutely would not be the person I am today without my partner in crime by my side.

We have had our share of fights; some last an hour, others last days or even weeks. Coming out on the other side only shows that no matter the reason we will always stick side by side "for better or worse."

Thank you for being the one who has picked me up and held me when I have been at my absolute worst. Thank you for helping me come out on the other side even when I didn't think it was possible. Thank you for being the one who cries and laughs so hard with me until we can't breathe. Thank you for always wanting in on my stupid ideas. Why not be stupid together and create more memories? Thank you for the best everlasting friendship that I will cherish for all of eternity. Most of all, thank you for being the only one who has stuck by my side when I needed it most & thank you for being you.

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.
