To The Former Friend No Longer In My Life

You put on quite a show.

I hope you know that it sucks writing this.

I thought you were someone who I could always count on. We'd stay up and have late night talks about every little thing. You were always my biggest supporter. You cheered me on and kept me going and you always seemed to have my best interest at heart. You'd randomly text me to check up on me, even though we were just talking on the phone about something completely different. You'd hear a change in my voice and immediately know something was wrong. You were the best friend I didn't know I needed.

You were also the best actor.

You turned out to just be using me. You used me for your own selfish reasons. It was like my happiness didn't truly matter to you, unless it was beneficial to you. You put on a social media front to seem like you cared about me and loved me. I would've done anything for you. However, once I realized that I was basically just a doormat to you, that changed. You noticed too. The late night talks stopped. The daily phone calls stopped. The random "How are you today?" texts stopped. Your performance was over. Your time on stage has clearly come to a halt.

Now, it's been awhile since we've talked. I don't mind it though, because a lot of amazing people filled your place and play the role even better than you ever possibly could. I think about you from time to time and wonder if I should message you. Then I realize that it'd be a waste of time because you seemed to have already won your Oscar and have moved on.

I forgive you though. I realized that your hurtful ways and the little belittling comments you'd make were just your insecurities shining through the surface. People who are hurting tend to hurt others. However, it's never smart to hurt someone who would've done anything for you and loved you more than you will ever know.

Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, I hope life is treating you well. I hope you're done with your acting career. If you're not, one day the curtain will fall and there will be no one backstage with you.

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.
