An Open Letter To My Friends Who I Don't See Enough
The Odyssey

Dear Friend Who I Hardly See,

You should know that I want to see you more often. I hope that all this time that we go through not seeing each other is as hard for me as it is for you. I hope that the fact that our schedules are so hectic does not lead you to believe that I have forgotten about you.

I know we do not hang out as much as we used to. I wish that I had more time in the day to see everyone that I want to see, but we all know that is not how this works. There is never enough time to do the things that we want to do. I hope that you can understand where I am coming from.

I hope that when you see me hanging out with other people, it does not lead you to believe that I have chosen them over you.That is not the case at all. I am always thinking about our good times, our conversations, our laughs, but sometimes I just share those moments with someone else.

I know that sometimes we are just too busy to get around to seeing each other. I know that the text messages, phone calls, and random dates on Facetime are not nearly enough to make you understand how thankful I am for you. It may seem like I have forgotten, but I promise I have not.

I know I am not great at keeping up with you all the time. That is not your fault, sometimes I just get too busy, or don't want to bug you, or just don't mess with my phone at all. Those are not excuses, but I promise I am trying to work on that.

I hope that you know that you mean the world to me. I know that it does not seem that way all the time, but I can assure you that it is true. I cherish the memories that I have with you. I think about all the great times that we have had together no matter what we were doing. I giggle at the funny moments that replay in my head when I am in certain situations. I see pictures of us, and I smile.

Thanks for all the good times we've had, an for the adventures to come.

Love Always,

Your Distant 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.
