An Open Letter To My Old BFF

I feel like a stranger in your life. Conversations are awkward at best. Why did we even lose touch?

An Open Letter To My Old BFF

I miss you. I say this now after just talking to you again after so long. How could I not miss you? We spent every day together. You are my best friend…were my best friend. I miss you. I don’t blame you for us losing touch, even though I know you blame me. Hell, even I blame me. Both of us just got way too busy with school. Isn’t that the excuse we keep making? Life is just too busy?

The thought process of catching up with an old BFF

Before:

I can’t wait!

I haven’t seen her in so long!

We’ll have so much to catch up on.

THERE SHE IS!

Sh*t! What do I do?

Would it be weird to hug?

I don’t want to make this awkward.

Eff it, I'll hug her.

Well. That was awkward.

During:

What should we even talk about?

The usually “how have you been?” just took all of five seconds for her to answer..

This is going to be a long day.

It’s like we’re strangers.

I can’t believe I can sit here and feel so lonely next to my best friend.

What didn’t I make more of an effort to keep in touch?

Why didn’t she?

I guess all we have to talk about is the old times.

I’d rather have new adventures instead of reminiscing about the old ones.

This sucks..

We haven’t even gotten our food yet.

I hate myself.

Does she even still like me anymore?

She didn’t really seem that excited about seeing me.

Ugh. I’m so stupid for even trying.

She probably hates how much I’ve changed since High school.

She probably thinks I only care about things that don’t matter.

I love how much I’ve changed.

I feel like I do a pretty OK job at keeping it together.

I’m the one that should be judging HER.

She’s the one that HASN’T changed at all.

I hate myself.

I’m way too petty.

I just want it to be the way it used to be.

UGH!

I just wish we could go back in time.

I suck.

After:

That wasn’t that bad.

I actually had fun.

From here on I promise to keep in better touch.

I hate myself.

I probably won’t.

I’ll just end up sating I’m too busy.

I hate myself.

I miss her.

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.
