An Open Letter To My Best Friend In Heaven

I miss you. I miss your voice. I miss your laugh. I miss your smile. I miss our inside jokes. I miss our countless weekends spent together and FaceTiming eachother. I miss our midnight Walmart trips. I miss going everywhere together. I miss making memories with you. I miss coming to you for any and everything. I miss everything about you.

You were always there for me when I needed someone to talk to, a shoulder to cry on, and a person to do life with. You were the first and sometimes the only person I would come to when I needed advice on anything. You always knew just how to make me smile when I was upset. You understood me better than anyone else did.

I find myself thinking about you when I should be focusing on other things. I think about all the lessons your passing has taught me. I think about where we would be in our friendship right now if you were still here. I think about what your life would be like right now if it were me that was gone instead of you. You're always on my mind.

You were the first person I was close with to get taken away. I was so young in my faith at the time and I had no idea what was happening. All I knew was that God took my best friend away from me and I didn't understand why. I remember that day all too well. We were texting all morning before church, making plans for me to go to your house and us to have a July 4th photoshoot. You never texted me back, and I assumed your phone had died. I had no idea that your life had come to an end. It blows my mind, even still to this day.

If only I could talk to you just one more time. I would tell you everything I never got the chance to. I would tell you just how much you mean to me. I would thank you for always being there for me. I just want you to understand the impact you had on my life and how you made me a better person. I'm sure you are seeing this right now as you are watching over me in Heaven, and you hear me when I talk to you and God, but man, if only I could tell you to your face. That would complete me.

I thank God every morning and night, and many times in between, for blessing me with an amazing best friend like you. I thank Him for the time this world had you, and I thank Him for helping me understand why He took you from us. My heart still aches when I think about how much I miss you, but I know where your soul rests. In that, I find peace and comfort, because I know I will see you again.

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.
