Thank You For Always Being There Despite The Miles Between Us

Sometimes the people who are thousands of miles away from you, can make you feel better than the people right beside you -unknown

There's something beautiful about a long-distance friendship. The fact that you can grow so much closer to a person without them even being within a reasonable vicinity from you. The fact that you can find yourself talking to this person on the phone regularly or texting them constantly (even though you actually hate the idea of continuously texting someone). The fact that this person becomes someone you tell everything to, all your problems and all your secrets, even though you're miles and miles away.

I think long-distance friendships symbolize the truest of friendships. They are ones you have to work on, ones that you can't give up on or else they'd simply fade away. They are the friendships that prove how much you care about that individual, that result in skipping the party just to FaceTime your best friend. They are friendships that I think will last a lifetime.

So I'd like to say a personal thank you to my best friend. Thank you for being my friend for eight plus years, and for the six of them when I was 1,435.1 miles away from you (and currently still am). Thank you for simply putting in the effort to keep our friendship alive. I know it couldn't have been easy. Thank you for still picking up my calls whenever I need you. For listening to my ugly crying voice over the phone and constantly asking me to repeat myself when you can't understand me. Thank you for talking these things through with me, for giving me the best advice even though you know it may not be what I want to hear. Thank you for cheering me up after my meltdowns, for bringing up past memories to make me laugh and telling me your most recent embarrassing stories. Also, thank you for the weird stuff, for the planning to watch the same Netflix show at the same time as me so we can talk about it (praying we're not the only two people that do this), for sending me awkward photos of your cats to enjoy throughout the day, for bringing me with you everywhere you go, even if mute is required. Thank you for that.

Thank you for the three hour talks, the much needed FaceTime calls, and the everyday good morning texts. Though you may not be here with me, you've proven to me to be one of the best friends I've ever had. It's crazy to think that my moving away brought us closer, but for that, it is something I will not regret. God blessed me when he gave me a friend like you, and I will not take that for-granted. So just thank you, for always being there despite the miles between us. Maybe one day it will be blocks instead, but for now I will continue to appreciate our beautiful long-distance friendship and never let it go.

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.
