I never thought you were the person I would miss.

An Open Letter To My High School Best Friend
Taylor Marquart

High school seems like a lifetime ago, but that is only because we have grown into such amazing women in the past two years.You are and always will be my other half. You got me through the roller coaster we call high school. You cried with me over "Secrets of the American Teenager" on those long summer nights when we stayed up till 3 a.m. eating junk food and watching Netflix. We were president and vice- president of a club we both loved so much. We have been through the good, the bad, and the terrible when it came to high school. You supported every decision I made and you were always my shoulder to cry on. All those inside jokes and goofy times with you are some of my greatest memories.

When we graduated high school, we both were so ready for the college experience; or so we thought. I was so excited to have you as my freshman roommate, and I knew you felt the same. Those first few months of classes really hit the both of us hard, and that's when we both really started growing apart. I hate that we stopped talking. I hate that we grew apart as much as we have. I hate that I have no idea what is happening in your life, and I really hate that when people ask me how you are doing, I never have an answer for them. I hate that your beautiful face that used to bring so much happiness and fun into my life is now just another stranger passing by. I miss texting you about every single detail of my life. I miss always having you by my side. I miss walking into your house and eating all your food and licking the raw cookie dough out of the bottom of the bowl.

I am so sad and angry for the way our friendship has turned out. Mostly because I am not sure where we go from here. Have we changed too much in the last year, or will we be able to start off right where we left? How do I fix this? Are you really my best friend forever? How do I make this horrible sadness go away? Is it to late to say sorry? I hope it is not because I miss you like hell. I miss having you as a phone call away. I miss always having someone to fall back on.

Now matter what happens, I hope that you are always genuinely happy because the happiness you brought into my life has made me who I am today. I would not be where I am without you and your crazy personality. I hope you kick ass in this world. You will always hold a special place in my heart.

I may never know what the future will hold for us, but I will never find another friend like you. I miss and love you more than you will ever know.

Sincerly,

Your 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.
