An Open Letter To My 'Best Friend'

When depression is your worst enemy and your best friend.

An Open Letter To My 'Best Friend'
Grace Kelly

I hate you so much, I really do. Your goal is to take away my happiness and for a while you were winning. You took away my smile, my laugh and my big bright blue eyes. You took away my ability to yell extra loud at a cheer game and even crack a smile to all my friends in the crowd. You made my room dark and my heart shatter, have you ever felt the physical pain in your chest? You made my love cave in and my door lock.

There is something you can't take away though. You will never take away sunrises and a lilac sky. I think that is why I love the sun so much, you can never take it away, it will still shine even when I can't. You can't take away baths and fresh sheets and phone calls from my mom. You will never stop my friends from laying with me when you make the world feel heavy, you can't take their love for me away. Even in that dark room you can't take away their light, you can't take away my sun.

I spent so much time trying to work around your schedule, when in reality you needed to work around mine. You are a really bad friend and only care about yourself, you do not care about what I have to do in a day. You do not care that I need to leave my room, you drag me into things I do not want to do and I am officially done. I need to learn how to live with you rather than pushing you away, because that is not working. Stop trying to steal my sunshine on a warm spring day. Do you not realize that a flower can still bloom even after winter passes?

You may have won a battle, but I am winning the war.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
