Blogs You Should Be Reading: Daily Pep Talk From A Best Friend


In a month, I'm moving thousands of miles away from my BFF. I'm not going to lie, there will probably be crying. But while I'm busy tramping around India, I'll also be reading Daily Pep Talk From A Best Friend every day, to fill in my friendship gaps. DPTFABF includes awesome tidbits like this:
  • Pep talk: First off, f*ck that guy. That idiot doesn't deserve to be near you! You're too smart and caring to be dragged down by some damn fool's poor judgment. You should get some snacks, write in your journal, and remember that your self image is the only image of you that really matters. See yourself for the beautiful person you are. Heap on the praise today.
  • Today remind yourself: I don't care what you think. I care what I think.

and this:

  • Pep talk: Feel free to take yourself a little less seriously. It really doesn't matter what decision you make because whatever you do will be right. No one's life hangs in the balance. Just do your best and be happy.
  • Today remind yourself: It's only a big deal if I make it one.

    So if you, too, are far away from your bestie, or don't have one at the moment, this blog can help out a wee bit.

    Though it probably won't lend you that awesome dress for clubbing. Probably not.

This is beautiful. It's going to be hard but just remember: miles can never separate true friends, and it's never good-bye... only "see you later".

xxoo

Followed, and I'm sharing with my own besties (some of whom are here, some of whom are farther away). Thanks for sharing this!

Man, I can always relate to your posts...my bff moved away to law school a couple weeks ago. We've only lived together/known each other for a year, but the first day we met we were obviously soulmates. :P I was pretty sad, and still lonely sometimes. But she's only 2 hours away, so I'm hoping for lots of visiting times. :)

And also, YOU'LL BE OK!

This will be great for me while I'm working on making new friends (and don't have a bestie at the moment).

Thanks Sarah.
