My Dear Best Friend,

No, I have not replaced you and no I have not forgotten about you. You see, it is difficult but very doable. I want you to know that. I really do. Yes, I think about it all the time when I am with him, but I want you to know that your feelings still matter to me. Ever since I met him my life has changed for the better and even you see that. You see my smile more, you see my confidence, you see my life changing for the better, but maybe you do not see me as much. Maybe I spend too much time with him? Maybe I need to have more of a balance? Maybe you miss the old times when it was just you and I?

But my Dear Best Friend; I have not forgotten about you nor will I ever. You are the one that was there for me through all the hard times. When I needed to vent, you let me vent. When I needed to scream, you let me scream. When I needed to cry, you let me cry. When I needed to laugh, you were right there with a joke in hand. You are my best friend and that label will never change. There is no one else I would rather sit around with eating absurd amounts of junk food with or blabbing off about the current gossip we love to weigh in on. You are my Dear Best Friend and that label will never change.

But there is something I must tell you. I have met someone and wow is he incredible. He’s funny, he’s charming, he’s adventurous, and he’s become a big part of my life. I want you to know that he cares about me, he really does. He is there when I need to vent, scream, cry and laugh. He is there to buy my junk food and listen to my gossip because, let's be real, his opinion isn’t as good as yours. He is everything I have ever wanted in a boyfriend and that is what I want you to understand. I want you to understand my happiness and that it is okay to be upset that things have changed between us. I want you to know he is good to me and that you do not need to worry.

Yes, he is very important to me, but you will always be my number one. So cheer up because this is just the start. There is no way our friendship is going to change because we added someone new to our duo. Because no I have not replaced you and no I have not forgotten about you. I have cherished you and could not have asked for a better person to call My Dear 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.
