I'm Done Being The "Convenient Friend"

I won my battle and it sucks you guys didn't stick around to see it happen.

I'm Done Being The "Convenient Friend"
Angelina Belotti

Suuuuuuuure, it's my fault. I'm the one not reaching out enough. I'm the one who is bad at communicating. I get it, it's me. But let's be real, everyone is busy. Some people have jobs, some people have boyfriends, and some people just don't want to hang out with you anymore.

Yes, I do have friends, guys. I have some pretty amazing people that have stuck by me for awhile, but I never really seem to see them anymore. We text a lot and laugh a lot, sure. But I haven't hung out with friends in what seems like months.

It gets annoying when you feel like you can't hit up certain people because you know they're always busy, or because you simply haven't talked to them in such a long time and you don't wanna have to have that awkward talk about "how busy they were" and about how sorry they are for not texting you.

But let's be real here, we've established that I have friends, but sometimes it doesn't feel like it. Like I said, it's been a long, long time since I've hung out with anyone.. and it sucks. Maybe it is partly my fault, but I'm trying.

I miss having my girls always blowing up my phone, demanding me to hang out with them on a Wednesday night at 2 a.m. when I'm already half asleep.

I miss being able to tell them everything, not just over text, but in person, so I can see their reactions and hear what they have to say.

I miss doing crazy things and just feeling like nothing can stop me because I have my girls by my side.

I honestly just miss watching a movie with them, talking about what's going on in the world and ordering 4 pizzas, bread sticks, and dessert. And eating all of it.

What hurts the most is seeing them with new best friends.

But it's not convenient for you anymore -- the things I was going through were too much for you and you never understood it.

We all have battles we need to fight in our own lives, and sometimes people don't stick around to see the end result.

Well, I won my battle, it sucks you guys couldn't have stayed around to see me win it.

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.
