An Open Letter To The Best Friend Moving Out

I miss you so much already.

An Open Letter To The Best Friend Moving Out
Brady Parum

Dear best friend/old roommate,

Thank you for the best living experience of my life. I never knew I could become so close to someone who came from a completely different background. You showed me that there are so many different people and cultures out there.

Watching you move your stuff out of the room and watching someone else move their stuff in kind of broke my heart in two. I know you are doing this for you and are going to do great things in the next place you live, but I am really going to miss you. All of those late night chats we had and talking through the wall will never be forgotten. No one will be able to replace you and all of the memories we made together.

You put up with all of my mood swings and I put up with all of yours. You gave me a new perspective on life and helped me grow in my faith more than you know. You told me the truth about every situation and you made sure I understood why you felt the way you did. You were blunt with me about something that you did not like and you let me be blunt with you.

We made each other mad...often, but you never shut me out of your life. We always got over whatever it was that we were mad about in, at the most, a day. You never made me feel like the bad person and you always told me you loved me after. We fought like sisters because that is what we became. You showed me that it is possible to love someone and trust someone that I had only known for a short amount of time. You became, practically, my soulmate.

You taught me so many things. More things than I never knew I didn't know. You taught me that it is OK to open up and love again. That not every guy is going to break my heart. You stayed up with me crying when I was hurting and you stayed up laughing with me when we were both hyper as crap. We would read our bible together and talk about how hard it is to stay strong in our faith.

Hearing your squeaky bed when you would move and hearing you listen to your Snapchats will be missed. I loved hearing you cracking up and something you would watch on one of your social media sites. Then you would tell me to go watch it and we would just crack up together. You in your room and me in mine with the door shut. It was always so funny.

You will be missed. Greatly. Things just will not be the same without you living next to me. You made a special place in my heart and it is going to be weird you coning over to be a visitor rather than living here. I love you very much and I cannot wait to see where this life takes you.

Sincerely,

The former roommate/best friend who already misses you so much.

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.
