An Open Letter To My Childhood Best Friend

Dear my childhood best friend,

I think the best thing about a childhood best friend is that no matter how long you go without speaking because life is crazy, how many arguments you have, or what life decides to throw at you, you know they will always be there.

Not many people are lucky enough to say they had been best friends with someone for their whole life, I'm so blessed to say I'm lucky enough to experience that. It blows my mind to think I have had you in my life for 17 years. I thank god for you everyday.

Thank you for standing by my side through all my firsts and giving me the best advice possible to help me get through them. Thank you for making me realize my first heartbreak wasn't actually the end of the world and I will be okay. Thank you for knowing me better than I know myself and giving me the best advice possible because sometimes I don't think straight. Which brings me to my next point, thank you for not getting mad at me when I get mad at you because I don't like your advice even though you're looking out for my best interest.

Thank you for standing by my side the past 17 years of my life, through the good, the bad, the sad times and the happy times. Thank you for telling me when I'm ugly and when I'm pretty. Thank you for standing next to me through all my ugly moments and being my shoulder to cry on but more importantly my success and being my motivator. Thank you for sharing your family with me like I share mine with you and for allowing your house to be my second house my whole life.

I would be lost without you. I love you always.

Faith

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
