An Open Letter To My Unexpected Best Friend

I never thought that you'd be the one who would be so deserving of that title.

First, let me just say thank you. You may not know it, but you are a big part of my happiness. You're the first person to try and make me smile whenever I get even the slightest bit sad. Whenever we are together, my day can take a complete 180 and be perfect. Our conversations at 1 am are my absolute favorite. We share the strangest interests, which is something that I've never really had. Being musically inclined, this puts us in some strange situations. Conversations that could go on for hours about some strange instrument are my favorite, and will most likely end with us trying to see if we could afford to buy it. The best part is we'll, instead, watch four hours of that instrument on YouTube until I want to kill you.

You treat me the way you would want to be treated. We tease, we fight, but at the end of the day, you're the person I'll turn to with all of my problems. You know my secrets, and I know yours. You know my insecurities, my ticks, and my pet peeves, and you will, without a doubt, always bring them up, knowing that I will retaliate ten times harder. You may not have seen me at my worst, and I could say the same for you, but we understand that these times have happened. We can easily communicate to each other these experiences and make sure that we never get to these places again. We're both messes, but life is messy. Even though others might not think so, we are so ready to take life by the horns and conquer it.

We confuse everyone, including ourselves. One minute, we're talking about linguistics and the origin of some complex language, and the next, we're watching cat videos side by side. Even though we are not dating, you are an A+ cuddle buddy. So many people think that you need to be in a relationship to cuddle, but if you're cold, and you have a perfectly good person who wishes to share their warmth with you, why not take advantage of that? Everyone we know thinks we're dating, but it's more than that. When people date, they usually say that they're in love with their best friend. We are like that but without the romanticism. We go on adventures, then we'll end up watching a romantic comedy that brings us closer, just to end with an "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" binge on Netflix.

No one would believe that we met only a short three months ago. However, these three months have been the happiest I have been in so long. You give me that same high that performing in musicals did. You're so important to me, and I hope to be your friend for many years to come. Thank you for sharing these times with me, and I can't wait to see where this long and winding road takes us.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
