To You, With Love

Dear Best Friend,

There's nothing better than having a special person you can tell anything to and never grow tired of, even if you spend every waking minute together for a long period of time. There's something so comforting in knowing that you have someone like that. I'm lucky enough to say that I do, and that's you. There have been people in my life that I've called "best friend" but were never no where near what we have. We've traveled together, laughed together, cried together, and we've done stupid things together. Thank you for being there for me. Those people who I thought were there for me gave me a reason to appreciate you more, and I'm so grateful for that. Thank you for loving me despite all of my imperfections and annoying tendencies. I'm impatient, over dramatic, and just a serious pain in the butt sometimes, and through it all, you continue to stay by my side without complaining. On that note, not only do you bear through my flaws, but you never feel afraid to put me in my place if something is wrong. When something needs to be confronted, you've never failed to do so. Not only do you confront, but you allow yourself to be confronted when I find something to be wrong. What a joy it is to find a friend that does that. It's so rare, yet such a blessing. Thank you for staying up late just to talk to me about my pointless problems. There are bigger things to concern ourselves with, yet you still take the time to hear me and help me. Thank you for always looking out for me around other people. When someone says something negative, you're always the first to defend me. People can be mean sometimes, but I know for a fact that you've always had and always will have my back. Thank you for understanding my weirdness and letting me tag you in stupid, pointless crap on social media without complaining or thinking I'm totally insane. Thank you for giving me a place to be happy when I'm with you. And for not ever making me feel unwanted, sad, or like a burden. You always give me a place to be comfortable and myself, and it's a joy to know I have someone like that. Thank you for standing by my side regardless of how crazy I sound, but also thank you for pointing out my incorrectness the other times I sound crazy.

I hope you understand how much you mean to me. There's never been another person to love and understand me the way you do. God places people on this Earth specifically for every individual, and I do believe He made you to be my best friend; and I am so, so grateful.

Dear best friend, here's to the many more years to come with you by my side.

To You, With Love,

Your Best Friend

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.
