You'll Always Be Second To My Best Friend

Sorry, Future BF, but you'll always come second to my BFF.

You'll Always Be Second To My Best Friend
Allison Schwark

" Soulmate" is defined as a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner. Everyone is looking for their "special someone". Someone they want to take home to mom on Thanksgiving and spend their rainy days with. But why is it that our soulmates are supposed to be the one we are going to date and get married to? I found my soulmate, and she is my best friend.

No matter what kind of guy I am going to end up with, he will always be second to my best friend. I wouldn't trade days making breakfast for dinner or visiting her at work or going on late night walks for anything, and there is no one I would rather spend those moments with. There isn't anyone who will ever be able to comfort me and behold the trust that I do as my best friend. There isn't anyone whose bed I will want to crawl in after watching a scary movie than hers. There isn't anyone I will spend all day with and then miss them the second she leaves. There isn't single person I want to see succeed and be happy more than my best friend.

Realizing that you've found someone who will always come first and will always be your first choice is an amazing thing. If your #1 is your boyfriend or girlfriend, there is nothing wrong with that. But there is nothing like having a best friend as a soulmate.

Relationships are weird. You are supposed to want to spend every second with them and tell them everything. Sorry, Future BF, but that is my best friend's job. My Future BF won't have to listen to (all of) my long rants and he won't have to take me to dinner every Friday night and if there is a chick flick in theaters that I want to see, he will NOT be sharing the recliner love seat in the theatre. I am blessed that I'll have another person that I want to take out and spend my weekends with. I am grateful that I have someone who I can always depend on. I am grateful that I have someone to take cute pics with to post on #SomeoneSpecialSunday other than my "someone special".

My soulmate will always be my best friend. No one will ever EVER take her place as the person I truly want to spend with having "Friends" marathons or getting coffee with before 9 AM's or going to the spin class every Tuesday night. No one can replace the relationship that I have with my best friend, and I never want anyone to.



To Halle, Love Ally.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
