To My Friend Dealing With Depression

You are not alone.

To My Friend Dealing With Depression

To my dearest friend,

I know you are going through something that neither of us can entirely wrap our brain around. I know that there is something inside of you telling you that you are alone in this world, that you do not belong, or that you are not good enough. Well I'm writing this to tell you that none of these things are true.

I want you to know in your darkest hours, I am here for you. I will always be here for you. There's not a hour, minute, or second I won't will be willing to talk to you. I don't care if I'm across the country from you or in the same city. If ever you are feeling down and you feel like there is no one to talk to, please call me immediately. If you want me to just listen, I will listen. If you want me to do the talking, I will talk. If you want me to make you laugh, I will come up with some ridiculous joke that will probably only make me laugh, but my hilarious chuckle and snort will most likely end up making you laugh.

Whenever you are sad it makes me sad. It hurts me to see you this way. It hurts me to know that sometimes I can't do anything to make it better. I'm sorry the miles between us don't allow for me to pick you up in my car and just go for and ride and listen to our favorite songs. But I want you to know, no matter the distance I will always be there for you.

When you feel like you are not a good enough friend, just know you are immaculate to me. You are incredible. You are intelligent and you have so many things going for you, which is why I can't sit back and watch this sadness get in the way of your greatness. I want you to overcome this monster. I want to help you defeat it, but I know I'm not the only thing that can help you get well.

Your well being is so important to me, so I need you to do everything in your power to get better and I will be here with you every step of the way during this process. Remember that the thoughts in your head are not true. Stay calm in times of anxiety, understand your worth, and know that I am always in your corner.

There is no other you. You are irreplaceable. Your friendship means so much to me. Everyday I speak to you, your spirit and presence and vibrancy radiate on to others. You change people's lives. Until you are completely healed from this sickness that makes you feel worthless, I will continue to remind you of your worth every second I have the chance.

Stand strong. Remain positive. Hold your head up high my friend. Depression ain't got shit on you.

Sincerely,

Friend in your corner

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.
