An Open Letter To My Forever Friend

​Thank You For Being My Best Friend

An Open Letter To My Forever Friend
“You are my best friend, my human diary, and my other half. You mean the world to me and I love you” –Unknown

Every best friend relationship is different, but I can say you are truly my forever friend. We are not the best friends who met on the first day of kindergarten or played soccer together in middle school. Rather we have only known each other for a short time, but it feels like we have been best friends forever.

I love that you know the best and worst about me, and you still choose to be my best friend. Thank you for being my judgment free zone and the keeper of all my secrets. I know I can tell you anything and everything, and you even though you may think my decisions are crazy, you still support me.

“Sometimes me think ‘What is a friend?’ and then me say, ‘Friend is someone to share the last cookie with’”. –Cookie Monster

I can count on you for anything and everything, big or small. Whether that’s: having an abundance of snacks at all time because I never have any, being my shoulder to cry on because boys are stupid, buying me coffee all the time because we're both addicted, answering my drunk phone calls at 2 a.m. because I just want someone to talk to, taking me to the emergency room because I need stitches, listening to me complain about all my schoolwork (even though you always have more), or letting me borrow your entire closet without asking because I never have anything to wear. I know you got me, and I hope you know I got you.

There has never been a time where we are not having fun together. Almost all our stories begin with “Remember that one time when…” followed by something insane we did that no one else finds funny, but we’re both in tears thinking about how hilarious it was. I’m glad I have someone to join me in making great (or not-so-great) decisions that will create memories that last forever.

“She's always there for me when I need her; She's my best friend; she's just my everything.” -Ashley Olsen

We’ve been through a lot together. You have helped me through many hard times, and I’ll never be able to thank you enough for that. I’ve had some lousy days, but thankfully I always had you to brighten my mood. From my breakups, to bad exam grades, to my injuries, I thank you for always being by my side.

You are honestly the sweetest person I know, and I am so thankful to call you my best friend. You’ve had your fair share of rough times, but there has never been a day that I haven’t seen you smile. You constantly strive to better others and put a smile on everyone’s face. You have big dreams for the future, and I believe in you 100 percent and will support you however I can so those dreams come true. You are so beautiful inside and out, and I hope you never forget that. Thanks for having the biggest heart and such a kind, genuine soul.

Our friendship began just as teammates, grew from good friends to best friends, and now we’re basically sisters. I have no idea of what I would do without you, but I don’t plan on finding out.

Thanks for being my best and forever friend. Xoxo

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
