An Open Letter To People Who Choose Their S.O. Over Their Friends
Buddy Project

Friend,

I’m so happy for you being in a relationship with someone you like and cares about you. I really am! I’m glad you found someone to share our life with, someone to love.

But you need to stop choosing your significant others over your friends all the time. Trust me, I understand. I’m in a relationship too, and sometimes all I want to do is spend time with them. It’s all about balance.

Whenever I ask you to hangout, most of the time the answer is “no”, because you’ve got plans with your S.O. Sometimes, you’ll even cancel plans with me to hang out with them. It hurts, but I always let it go. Because I want you to be happy, and you deserve to be happy.

But what about my happiness? I’m tired of biting my tongue all the time to make you happy. I deserve to be happy, too! Friendship isn’t a one-way street, you’ve got to pull your own weight. We’ve been friends for a while, a lot longer than you’ve known your S.O. and way longer than you’ve been dating. I know all of your intimate secrets, all of the people you’ve ever crushed on, and all of your hopes and dreams. We’ve shared together many good times, LOL moments, and a fair share of sad ones, too. We’ve seen each other through ups and downs, highs and lows. We have an incredible friendship!

But I haven’t seen you much in the last few months. You’re busy making memories with your boo. Please make time for me, too. I miss you. It really hurts for you to constantly choose your S.O. over me. It would mean so much to me if we could go out for a couple drinks, and catch up. Tell me about your boo and all the adventures you’ve had, I’m sure you have so much to tell me. I’ve got a lot to tell you! I’d love to know how you’ve been doing and what’s new in your life, because I care about you. I’d love to have you back, friend.

Sincerely,

Don't Forget About Me

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.
