An Open Letter To A Friend Turned Enemy

I wasted four years of my life.

An Open Letter To A Friend Turned Enemy
Facebook

This is an open letter to a friend-turned-enemy. We spent so much time together, it was almost sad. Come to think of it, it was sad. It is extremely dissatisfying to know I wasted four years of my life being there for someone who was never fully there for me. It makes me sad that it took me this long to talk about it.

For four years of high school I called you one of my best friends. You asked me for advice with the girls you were interested in, and never once thought I cared for you. I got my face shoved into every relationship you had. And the sad part is, I'm not even angry anymore, just tired.

I got tired of all of your high school drama and we haven't been in high school for years. You weren't there for me when I needed you most and nothing will ever make that Ok. Nothing will ever make better the fact that you put yourself as a higher priority than my mental health. It's ridiculous you thought I should hold you higher than myself. I was depressed because you weren't there, but I was furious with you at the same time. There was a hole in my universe from where you were just gone.

Thankfully, I found other stars and planets and suns to fill that hole. I learned that I could function. Hell, I could thrive without you. You were harder to get over than all of my ex-boyfriends put together. We even tried being friends again, but I don't think it could have ever be the same. I tried to look past all you have put me through. My mind just kept coming back to it.

They say forgive and forget, but that power has never been in my arsenal. I have never been able to forgive the wrongs that have been done to me, and if I can not forgive, then I can not forget. I'm tired. Tired of all the drama, all the lies and definitely of your gigantic ego. Everyone has their own frenemy, and I'm glad I found out about you before it got too late.

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.
