Dear you know who you are,

It's been a little over three years since that dreadful night. The night that was supposed to be a fun and unforgettable outing for one of my best friends. Because of you, it wasn't fun but it sure was unforgettable. She will never forget that night for the rest of her life. It will play over in her head many times through the years to come. That night you took something that didn't belong to you. That night, you raped her.

Sure, you say she was drunk and she consented but we both know that isn't true. If she had consented, then why did you have to leave bruises all over her body as if she was fighting back?

I've had a lot of time to think about what I would say to you if I ever saw you. Odds are, I won't ever see you. So I hope that one day when you're feeling good about yourself, you stumble upon this article and you remember. You remember what a monster you are.

Do you know that she had to go to the hospital? She had to get a rape kit done. Do you know that she flunked out of school because she didn't know how to deal with herself after that night? Somehow thinking that this was her fault. That she must have done something in order to make you do this to her. That's the worst part. Hearing her talk about how she believes that she's at fault for this. Because we both know that she's not.

You took my friend's comfort away. She will always have her guard up when meeting new guys. When she goes out, she will always be weary of new surroundings. You took a piece of her that night; physically and emotionally. A piece that no matter how hard she tries, she'll never fully get back.

I've never had so much hate for someone I've never even met before. But if I could send one person to the fiery depths of hell, it would be you. You don't deserve to go on with your life like nothing ever happened. But, I'm a strong believer in karma and I know that one day it will come back to haunt you.

You are an abomination to all human kind and I wish you zero happiness in the future.

-Your victim's best friend

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.
