The Loss of a Friend

Till Death do us Part

26
The Loss of a Friend

Well, in just 4 weeks and a day it would have been two years since you left. To this day I still constantly think about you, not a day goes by when I do not. In marriage they say "till death do us part", well does that go to friendships too? Yes, it has to.

Today was a hard day for me, and I do not know why but it just happens at the most random times. I cannot help it. It started out as a bright day and then all of a sudden I was overwhelmed with your leaving.

We do not have many pictures, and we did not hang out as much as we could have, but I have some of the most greatest memories with you. Going to parties and somehow you would always manage to hit me in the face while dancing. Or talking about how much we sucked at writing in class. When I would say something and all you would say is "Oh, Amber, it's okay." And of course how can I forget the glitter? The one thing that would never leave the stage while you were on it. I bet to this day it is still there. It is the one place you loved, besides the soccer field, being up on that stage.

I love you and miss you to this day. Besides, who doesn't? We all miss you, but you are somehow still here with us. It may not be a physical presence, but a spiritual presence. I know you are here and I know you are okay, and that somehow makes me feel okay, along with the good memories I have 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.
