An Open Letter To The Friend That Dropped Me As If I Meant Nothing

You dropped me out of nowhere but I'm back and better than ever.

Dear friend that dropped me like I was nothing,

This one is for you. Towards the end of our friendship, you treated me like crap. You lied to me, you pretended like there was nothing wrong but I could see right through you.

At first I thought I was in the wrong because that's what we always assume, the worst of ourselves, it was something that we did wrong. Don't be fooled though, I looked deeper and realized that it wasn't my fault. It was you! You were in the wrong and I blamed myself for years on end. Honestly, our friendship breaking up was the worst. It was harder ending our relationship than anyone I've dated.

Once I started to look deeper into what happened, I realized something. You changed. You changed in a way that I could not keep up with. College had changed you, you were different and I didn't like it.

You were self-centered and you turned into a person that I didn't even want to be friends with anymore. Losing you as a friend was one of the hardest things I had to go through but it was kind of a blessing at the same time. We think the worst when something we know ends. At the same time though, bigger and better things can be on the horizon.

Now, I am the best version of me that I have been in a long time. I have friends that actually care about me and treat me the way I deserve to be treated. They let me talk and they let me be myself, which I was afraid to do with you.

I don't know if this person will ever see or even read this letter but if it's worth anything, I'm doing pretty damn well. What the hell are you up to?

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.
