An Open Letter To The Friends That Are No Longer In My Life

I'm sorry if we drifted apart, but I have something important to say.

An Open Letter To The Friends That Are No Longer In My Life
Sorority Lyfe

I’m sorry we haven’t talked in so long, for whatever reason it was. I probably don’t even remember. It may have been a good reason; we may have just been poisonous to each other, despite never wanting to let the other go. Maybe you wronged me or I wronged you in the end. Or maybe we just drifted apart. To be completely honest, I’m not really sure which is worse.

I really hope you’re doing alright. You may find it surprising if we ended on a bad note, but I really do hope that maybe, just maybe, you’re doing that thing you told me years ago that you’d do. I really hope you’re doing your best to try and live out your dream. Or doing at least what is best for you, even if it’s something you never thought you’d do in a million years. As long as it’s beneficial to you and it makes you happy, that is all that matters. Just know that, no matter how long it’s been since we last spoke, I’m still sitting on the sidelines, cheering you on. Maybe I see you on social media. If I do, I’m always rooting for you. Always praying for good things in your life and sending good vibes.

I’m doing okay. I mean, I’ve been better. But I’ve also been so much worse. I hope you don’t ever spend time worrying about me, if you don't even think about me at all anymore. Just know that I’m doing mediocre. But in the end, I know I’ll be okay. And just know that you do not need to waste precious time worrying about me or how I am doing.

There was a point to all of this. I just wanted to thank you. You helped make me into the person I am today. Whether you helped me through a big obstacle in my life, or if you just held my hand at one point or another. You left your imprint on me, and even though at the time of your departing from my life I might of saw it as a bad thing, I am grateful for it now. Because even if we ended on bad terms, that helped build me into the strong young woman I am today. For all I know, you’re the reason I started writing and got to where I am. So thank you, for whatever you may have attributed to my life. Maybe you did something big in my life, or maybe you just left a mannerism that I still have to this day. But you’re the reason I laugh the way I do. Or maybe you’re the reason I’m always going around and complimenting people. Who knows.

All I know is that I am eternally grateful for whatever you left me with after our lives took paths away from each other. Maybe one day we will talk again and maybe that could lead to being friends again. Or maybe we just weren’t meant to be long term friends. Just passing by each other on the way to bigger and better things in our lives.

Thank you. Just know that I still care about you. I hope you’re doing alright.

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.
