37 Thoughts About Your Ex-Best-Friend
Aliexpress

I'll be honest about this, we all have friendships that didn't last forever. And sometimes, we don't even know why. But, I think we need some redemption. This one goes out to all the friends we thought we knew so well. I'm a pretty genuine person, when I call someone my friend—I mean it. I mean it in the wholeness of my heart. The thing is, not everyone does. Temporary besties: here's why we just don't understand your mantra.

Just sharing my "innermost feelings and thoughts,"

Bestie:

1. We used to be best friends but now we're not even friends. What's the deal?

2. When I said BFF, I meant it.

3. Oops, must have just wasted your time.

4. But I'm actually a really good friend.

5. So I'm thinking you must be some kind of stupid.

6. Who ya gonna call, now?

7. So do you just, like, recycle friendships?

8. Honestly, I'm not okay with it.

9. You have way too many of my secrets.

10. Just No.

11. Was I even your best friend?

12. What happened to us?

13. I was there for you.

14. But, just so we're clear. I don't need you.

15. I do miss you, though.

16. You hurt me.

17. You've been replaced.

18. But then again, you've replaced me too.

19. You don't know me anymore.

20. You used to be so important to me.

21. You know what you did.

22. So you're just gonna Ignore me?

23. You think I care, though, don't you?

24. Do you treat all your "friends" this way?

25. Well... things could have been different.

26. How could you?

27. Are your new friends better?

28. Thanks for the memories.

29. I don't even know you anymore.

30. You showed me how quickly things can change.

31. I'll be okay.

32. But...

33. Despite everything, I'll always have love for you.

34. I think you should know...

35. It's over.

36. Basically sums up our "friendship."

37. But then again, I just realized. I don't like you anymore.

Goodbye, to the friend I used to know. We had our laughs, our memories, and the time of our lives. But, I've finally realized you aren't the same person I used to know. I'm happy to see you've grown—but I'm sad to see you go.

Though I do have one more question, why?

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.
