An Open Letter To My Best Friend Of 7 Years
Ashlie Boothe

Dear Best Friend Of Seven Years,

Can you believe it? We've finally made it to the seven-year mark in our friendship! Now, I know to most people, it's not that big of a deal, but to me it's a very big deal. It's not only because they say if a friendship makes it to seven years, it's meant to last forever, but also because it was very difficult for me to make friends. All my life, the small circle of friends I did have would eventually move away and we'd lose contact and never speak to or see each other again, and very rarely we'd cross paths again, but unfortunately unable to rekindle to close friendship we once shared.

I had this one best friend in kindergarten, but we distanced ourselves from each other once we got in middle school. Growing up and not being invited to your peer's houses for sleepovers or birthday parties and being left out of all my "friend's" social events was probably the second worst thing I've ever had to deal with in my life. For the longest, I thought I was just going to be one of those people who didn't have any friends, and that was a fact I was slowly beginning to accept.

Then on June 9, 2010, you came into my life, and changed it for the better. I honestly can't believe we made it this far, I'm proud to say you're the longest friendship I've had, and I hope we really do end up being friends forever, and when we have kids, we can be godmothers to each other's kids and our kids can be best friends too. Now, I know after we first met we only saw each other one time after that, then we lost contact for a few years, but in all honesty, I don't count the time we lost contact because of how close we are now. If somebody random met us on the street and we told them our story, they wouldn't believe we'd even lost contact to begin with.

I know we may not always agree on things, but you're my person, and I'm yours, and I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for seven amazing years. Seven years of laughter, fights, tears, but most importantly, memories. I wish for seventy more. You're the best friend I've ever had, you truly know how to be a friend to someone, that's a wonderful charter trait to have, don't ever lose it.

Thank you so much for putting up with me for seven years, it means the absolute world to me, more than you'll ever know. Forever wishing to spend seventy more years of friendship with you. I Love You, Punk!

Love, Your Best Friend Of Seven Years

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.
