An Open Letter To My Ex Best Friend

I hate it when I know things are going to fall apart between me and someone else; especially in the case of my best friend. It was so painful to go through it, knowing at the back of my mind that someday, somehow, we'd stop talking and hanging out with each other. I still wonder if things would change between us, that one day we could fix our friendship together.

I'm not too sure what happened between us. I'm not sure how it is that you are treating me like strangers after all that we had, was it really that easy for you to let go of everything?

I look through our conversations that we used to have every night without fail, and it still leaves my heart aching to know that you used to make me so happy with the simplest words and I don't even hear from you now.

Perhaps we got too comfortable with each other, maybe you got bored or maybe I just didn't try hard enough. We always read that 'best friends are people you know you don't need to talk to every single day, but when you do it's like you never stopped talking', but I guess we weren't supposed to go months without talking and expect everything to stay the same. But one thing for sure, we've lost it all. For you, at least.

I hope someday we'll talk again and things will go back to the way it was, but if we don't, I hope you remember that you were my best 'best friend' and it hurts to hear you call someone else your best friend. I wish someone would treasure you for all that you are and you are not; because I truly did.

We've both stopped talking to each other for a while now. I guess it doesn't hurt as much as before, at least for me. I definitely still think of you and our memories together, but I have learned to move on. People come and go, and just because you've known someone for years doesn't mean you still will for another ten years. Every time I sink myself on the bed and have the urge to compulsively FaceTime you, my heart breaks when I realize we don't have anything in common to talk about. My heart shatters when I hang out with old friend and they ask about our friendship because of how inseparable we were before. I know we aren't anymore, but I guess I'm starting to get used to it.

On a side note, how have you been, my dear? Perhaps more than just fine without me? It stings to know the fact that you are, but I truly am happy for you - I just wish I could be your person and the two of us could be our own versions of Meredith and Christina.

You will always have a special place in my heart even though we no longer talk. I will look back at our times together and smile to myself, knowing how you helped me grow as a person and someday I hope I will be able to smile and ask if you've been fine.

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.
