An Open Letter To The Friend I Lost

Dear friend that I no longer talk too,

I am sorry that this is how our friendship turned out, I am sorry that we lost the friendship that we had for so long.

I know part of it is my fault and not all yours; it's the fact that our lives took two different courses and we couldn't keep them together to save our friendship. Maybe it's for the best. Maybe it's for the worst. Either way please know that I did not want this to happen but with the way of the wind our purposes in life took two different courses and fate has it that our friendship is no more.

Possibly we took different courses because whether we wanted to admit it or not we were two very different people. Maybe it was because our personalities were just too different and we knew in our hearts that we just couldn't keep it together with what little we had.

Please know that even though we went or separate ways it doesn't mean I am not rooting for you or holding your secrets close to heart. I have your back even though we don't talk and don't confide in each other anymore. I will take your secrets to the grave with me. I hope you are living the life you always wanted and know I am rooting that you are getting what you want; most importantly I hope you are happy.

Please know that I miss you and I miss our adventures that we would go on. That sometimes I sit and contemplate about getting in touch with you again just to remember old times. I know it wouldn't do any good and would just make things more uncomfortable for the times we have ran into each other. But do realize I do miss you and I miss our times when we would hang out.

Our memories I hold close to my heart as to know that our time was short and it was possibly meant to be and for that I am sorry. When I miss you I think back to our times when we would hang out or go places; I know I sound like I was in love with you. I wasn't I loved you like a sister and at times I sometimes feel like you were when we would just walk into each others house, knowing we didn't care and it was okay to do so.

I know that this letter doesn't change anything and I didn't think it would. I just thought possibly it would help us both cope with the fact that for some reason our friendship wasn't in the cosmos and for that I am very sad. I am sad that I lost a friend and a sister to me. I am sad that we let it happen even though we both could have tried to stop it.

I hope your life is everything you wanted and more. I hope you are happy with everything that is going on in your life. I hope some day we can meet and have coffee and catch up.

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.
