You were there for me when I felt like no one else was.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend

Dear best friend,

You have been by my side since day one. You have stuck by me through the goth phases, the braces, and through those "finding me" years. You have laughed with me, cried with me, and walked with me through some of the hardest parts of my life.
You were right beside me whenever I fell off the swing and got a black eye. You were right beside me when I fell down the stairs in the 7th grade. You were right beside me when I had my first heartbreak, and you threatened to kill him.

I will always thank you for sticking up for me and letting me borrow your clothes. I will always thank you for getting a boys number when I'm too scared to. I will always thank you for wiping the tears from my eyes and replacing them with a smile. You always make me laugh when I'm sad and that's my favorite thing about you. I will always thank you for telling me when too much eyeliner is too much, and when I should wear shorts under my dress.

I cherish the memories we have together, the sleepovers and late night phone calls before we had cell phones. I cherish the laughs we have had, the photos we have taken, and the karaoke car sessions.

You were there for me when I felt like no one else was and you always picked me back up. You're the best friend a girl could ask for!


Love,

Your Best Friend

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

We all have a love hate relationship with winter, lets be real here. The snow makes people forget how to drive, its cold, the roads are bad, and chances are, you will be spending a lot more money than you do during the other months of the year. If you’re from the Midwest, it seems to be that winter lasts for what feels like forever. But despite the struggles that winter brings, there are so many things to love about it.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
