To My Best Friend Who Never Gave Up On Me

When some friends might have thrown in the towel, you always remained there for me.

To My Best Friend Who Never Gave Up On Me
Sabrina Lloyd

Dear Best Friend,

Throughout my life, friends have come and gone. It's a natural thing that happens to everyone, they grow apart from some friends. It's just something that tends to happen to almost everyone. There comes a time when both members of the friendship ultimately give up because of distance, differences or they simply just grew apart. Then there are friends that are always there despite complications. There are friends like you. I want to thank you for never giving up on me.

I know I am extremely difficult to be friends with. I would stay cooped up in my house for days if I could. I also can barely stay up past 11 o'clock but, some of my best memories are past that time with you. You make me live a little. I think you're the only person that can read my mind when I don't want to do something or go somewhere. You seriously always know what I'm thinking. Sometimes I think you know me better than I know myself. You understand the limits of my comfort zone. Thank you for always understanding me and pushing me to the edge of comfort zone. I am so thankful for that.

Most people would grow apart when their colleges are 8 hours apart. It's quite the distance and plane tickets are expensive. It takes dedication to keep communication with someone who you may only see over breaks. Although we were far in distance, I really don't feel far away from you because we talk every day as we would if we were still down the block from each other. Thank you for being there for the millions of times I face timed you when I was in a crisis. Thank you for being my outlet when I needed to unplug from school life. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you to gossip to or calm me down when I'm stressing about school or just life in general.

Even times when I didn't deserve your friendship, you still never gave up on me. I will forever feel guilty for putting a boy before you. I regret sacrificing time with my best friend for someone else. I wish I could make up that time with you. Although that relationship was tough on our friendship, you were still there for me when it ended. I cannot thank you enough for being one of the main reasons I made it through that heartbreak. Thanks for listening to me cry, complain and go through a couple mental breakdowns. I will forever live by sistas before mistas now.

Our friendship has definitely been tested to its limits. When other friends might have given up on me, you always stayed. I've learned how to be a better person and friend because of you. Thank you best friend. I will never give up on you either.

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.

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.
