I miss being friends with you.

An Open Letter To The Friend That I Miss Being Friends With

I miss being friends with you for many reasons. It is hard to pin point the single reason that I miss being your friend so much. I miss the laughs we shared, the stupid fights we had, the jokes, the smiles, the hugs and the way that you could pull me out of a bad mood unlike anyone else that I know. I miss your spirit, your zest for life. I miss being able to just talk to you. Our friendship definitely had its ups and downs which ultimately lead us to forced interactions, to trying to be in the same class together for a semester feeling the awkwardness that was so clearly there, to not speaking at all, to trying to talk again in person but still feeling so awkward and not even knowing what to say to each other, to not talking at all for a few months to re adding each other on snapchat sending each other silly snaps and keeping it light. It sucks that we aren’t as close as we used to be. I can remember what ultimately drove a wedge between us but it hardly matters anymore or at least not as much as it used to. I still have some feelings of not being good enough to be in your life and having that feeling of always being the outside and looking in just waiting to be accepted and noticed. I have worked hard to fight those feelings, losing 55 pounds has certainly put so much in perspective for me. I can see clearly now and I value myself so much more then I used to. I am in a better place, a place where I could see us being friends again or at least trying to be. It took me so long to pull myself out of the hole that I was in, to get over myself and realize that I am worth something. I am sorry that I treated you so badly, I think I did that because I had to lash out at someone and usually you took the brunt of it, which really isn’t fair to you. I know us becoming friends won’t be easy but I think it could happen. I don’t hate you or blame you for much anymore all though at one time, I definitely did hate you and I did blame you for a lot. I am sorry for that. I am sorry for everything that I ever did to hurt you or to make you feel sad. I was recently thinking about everything that we fought about and it all seems so silly now. I realize that it was probably silly then but I just didn’t see it. It seemed so important then but now it just seems like it was not really worth fighting over. I do appreciate you giving me so much space when I needed it and for always being so understanding about it. I just wasn’t ready to talk you yet and I needed some time. I am sorry that I made everything so awkward for so long. I am sorry for not being able to really talk to you about what was going on or being able to let you back into my life for so long. I am sorry for being sorry all the time and for just being so difficult at times. I am sorry for getting so mad and for pushing you away. I never should have done that to you, I miss having you around, I hope we can change that soon. So if you don’t hate me too much or if you don’t hold too much sadness in you from how horribly I treated you, I would like it if we were friends again. Consider it at least.

Thanks.

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.
