Can We Start Over?

Let’s not forget about what happened between us but let’s not make it the focal point of our friendship anymore.

Can we start over? I know we have been through so much and I know that we were so close at some point, but can we start over? I feel like we have peaked in our friendship and now we are on the slippery slope downwards with no traction to slow us down even the slightest. I don’t want our friendship to end. Some people just grow apart and their relationship goes with them. That can’t be us. I don’t want that to be us. I won’t let that be us. I need us. I need our friendship. I need you.

So let’s start over. Let’s not forget about what happened between us, you know I never could, but let’s not make it the focal point of our friendship anymore. There is so much more to us than what happened in that one month or two. Let’s re meet each other. Reintroduce ourselves. I know I am a completely different person than I was when I met you for the first time. I know you are a different person as well. So let’s tell each other who we are now. Let’s share how much we have reinvented ourselves in the short time we have known each other.

I have done so much soul searching since I have known you. I have thought a lot about my actions and attitudes and goals. You have helped me set most of those goals I have. You have helped me change my attitudes toward people or situations. You have helped me see the flaws in some of my actions and the beauty in others.

We have gone through a really really rough patch in our friendship that I am afraid we will not be able to fix. The hole that we have created is just too big to patch up. It’s going to take a lot more than I can afford to fix that hole. I can’t afford to try to fix something as big as this with such a high risk of losing you. I can’t do it. So let's start fresh. Let’s build a new and sturdier foundation for us to grow on.

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.
