Dear Old Friend

A goodbye letter to a friend.

Dear Old Friend

Dear darling, this is Good bye. The fighting is over with no explanation. You have already said your goodbyes but this is mine. I'd like to start by saying my thanks for our friendship. Thank you for trying to be there for me for hard times. Thank you for the adventures, our perfect McDonald's meal, photo shoots, drives and every happy memory that came with. The nickname darling will always be yours. I will cherish these memories for the rest of my life. Nothing seemed to matter as long as we were doing it together because it meant we would make fun of the situation or make our own fun out of it. Thank you for being the closest thing I've gotten to a sister.

The things you taught me. You taught me that mental strength is more impressive than any kind of physical strength. Every thing that put you down you found a way to get back up and keep going. You taught me that being there for you family is more important than anything else. And working hard always pays off in the end. You taught me that competing for boys is the worst things friends can do to each other. Actually just any unhealthy competition between friends is the worst.

What you didn't teach me was how to close myself off and to make myself small so that you could feel big. I learned how to work through everything on my own. I learned that when things get really hard you walk away from it. I had to learn how to realize that you no longer wanted me, that I was no longer good enough to be in your life. You gave no reason, no explanation. I know you used to care I'm just not sure when it stopped but it did. You said we would be civil when we ran into each other but I never realized that it would mean complete silence. I never realized that you could so easily get rid of someone. You held on to all you ex-boyfriends but you let me go easily. Someone once told me that no one will ever replace the people that once were in your life. I will never be able to forgive you for the pain that you have caused me and yet I still wish you the best. Goodbye darling.

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.
