Sometimes its hard to let go of what was and accept what is. But once you accept your reality, you can finally live in it.

An Open Letter To The Best Friend I Let Go Of

In life, we tend to take things for granted, always expecting things to stay the same without any effort. However, with a mindset like this, its hard for any friendship to make it through any change in life. Distance is one of the hardest to conquer--its usually what ends friendships when we think they aren't end-able. So take it to heart and hold on to what you have.

Because these good times may not last as long as you think. Keep all the good times sealed in air tight jar— for these are the moments we live for.

So to my old but good friends:

Hi, how are you doing?

I could ask you this but we would never have enough time to truly make up for missed time Im sure you’re doing well or hanging on in there.

Maybe it was the distance, maybe it was the timing or maybe it just wasn’t meant to last but for whatever reason, but I'm okay. I'm okay with how we are. It may break my heart a bit but I know that this is what reality is. I don’t need to talk to you everyday to know that you love me and for the love to be reciprocated. I hope you don’t turn bitter towards me or let any resentment grow because in my heart, I will always be there for you because you are my soft spot. Maybe thats why I was so easily replaceable; there was never a risk for you. I’d rescue you from any situation and maybe you abuse that, maybe thats why you left my life. But it's okay again, I hope things are well, it looks like everything is working in your favor. I’m going to let you go for now. I don’t blame you for us growing apart but I can't help but reminisce from time to time. But I wont let this hold me back from moving on and growing closer to my new friends. And I do miss you.

Forever caring,

Your used-to-be best friend

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.
