An Open Letter To My "Person"

An Open Letter To My "Person"

To "My person,”

According to "Grey’s Anatomy," your “person” is the other half of you. They’re more than a best friend, and they’re always there for you. It’s very rare to find someone that understands you and accepts you for all that you are, so when you find your "person," cherish them forever and never let them walk out of your life.

There is no one else I’d rather spend my days with. Who needs a boyfriend when you have a best friend? A boyfriend won’t cry with you over throwback Avril Lavigne songs. A boyfriend won’t watch you eat a carton of ice cream without judging you. A boyfriend won’t let you share bras and have backup tampons when you need them. That’s what best friends are for. That’s what your "person" is for.

My "person" is not only the other half of me, but the better half of me. I can turn to them for absolutely everything that happens in my life. Through every tiny event, or any huge milestone, they’re always right by my side. And when they can’t be there, I wish they were, because nothing feels complete without them. And I think the icing on the cake of what really makes our friendship so strong is our different taste in men, but the same taste in alcohol (although some of us can hold that liquor down while some of us can’t).

I wish I could say thank you, but I don’t know how. Saying “thank you” wouldn’t even begin to convey how I feel, and how appreciative I am towards my "person." There are not enough words in the dictionary to string together that can even portray my gratitude.

In a world of so much bad and ugly, my "person" has given me so much love and respect, and I feel like they are a reward from the universe. We’re more than best friends or sisters. We’re basically soul-mates. I am who I am because of my "person.”

Finding your "person" and having that lasting friendship is, indeed, a blessing. Good friends are great pillars of life because they help us stand strong. Friendship can make or break us, and it could lead to outstanding things. It doesn’t matter how often you physically spend time with your "person," but it’s how much you care and feel for one another in good times, as well as in bad times. They’re a great asset in life, and I’m lucky enough to have not only one "person," but two people. Two best friends, two therapists, two supporters, and two partners in crime.

I promise to never leave your life. No matter what happens, “You’re still my person, even if I’m not yours.” – Meredith Grey

Sincerely,

Your “person”

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
