An Open Letter To My Ex-Best Friend
Quotesgram

To my Ex- Best Friend,

I still think about you all of the time. I stalk your Facebook page, wish I could follow your Instagram pictures, and wonder if you ever post cute Snapchat stories. It amazes me at how close we once were, but now sending you a simple text would be weird. Sometimes I wish we could be friends again, but I know that our friendship would never be what it once was.

I wanted to say that I'm sorry for all of the things that went wrong in our friendship. I'm sorry that I'm not there for you anymore or in the times when you needed me the most. I'm sorry that we stopped talking in the way we did, best friends for a second and strangers the next. I miss sitting next to you being able to rant on about everything that bothered us. You always knew what to say to make everything better, and you made me feel like I wasn't all alone in the world because I'd always have you.

I don't understand why it was that one fight that drove us that far apart. I don't think we meant for it to, I think it just happened. I'll have this feeling where I want to call you and tell you something before I realize I can't. We were supposed to fix each other, and instead our differences drove us apart. It hurts knowing you aren't there for me, and I wonder if you ever feel that same way.

Our friendship meant the world to me. Whether it was perfect or not, it was a one and only. I hope that you can forgive me for all the times I let you down. I forgive you. I know that we all make mistakes. This life is fragile and hard and scary all at one time and without a best friend like you to have helped me along the way, I don't really know what would have happened to me. You taught me how to believe in myself, and showed me that all of my quirky opinions mattered.

All in all, I wanted to say that I wish the very best for you. Maybe our lives will cross paths again in the future. I hope that we can smile at each other, and it won't be awkward. I wanted you to know that I hope you find everything that you were looking for, and that you have found a new best friend who will take care of you in the ways that I no longer can. Thank you for being the perfect friend at the perfect time. Thank you for caring about me. Thank you for sticking up for me. And most importantly, thank you for letting me go. I have grown and changed so much thanks to everything that you taught me. I'll never forget you, or the memories that we created. And I will always think of you as my best friend.

Love always

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.
