An Open Letter To The Friends I Lost Along The Way

Just because we don't talk anymore doesn't mean that I don't still think about you.

An Open Letter To The Friends I Lost Along The Way

I have moments where my mind wanders off and I think of you. I think of how close we used to be and how it would be so weird if I tried to talk you to now after so many years. I think about how it happened, how we went from being so close to practically stranger, from knowing basically everything about your life to knowing nothing. I have no idea what you are up to now, what job you have, where you live, who you hang out with, if you have a significant other. The little details about you are now long gone from my brain. I believe that you came into my life for a reason, even though you are no longer in my life, you are still a part of my story. I see pictures of us together and smile at the memories, thinking about what made us laugh so hard that day or what we were doing right before that picture was taken. I begin to wonder what my life would be like if you were still in it if we had not drifted apart, would we still be so close? Would see each other regularly? Who knows, maybe it was for the best that we drifted apart maybe our friendship wasn't meant to be and that really sucks. I hope that you are doing well and that you are successful in whatever it is that you are doing. I hope you are happy with the way that your life is turning out. I hope that you have friends that love and support you just as much as I did. Even though we no longer speak, I want you to know that I am still here for you. I am always a phone call or text away just because we drifted apart doesn’t mean that you can’t still come to me if you needed to. I am here to listen. I am here if you need a shoulder to cry on or just someone to talk to if you are having a hard time. I once considered us to be really close friends and it still means something to me, I still care about you and I always will. I see your Facebook photos that others have tagged you in, your Instagram posts from your latest adventures and I see how happy you are. It is nice to see that you are so content with your life. I hope you are proud of your accomplishments because I am. If you are reading this, I hope you know that I mean every word of it, do not hesitate to reach out to me if you need someone to talk to, I am here. Also know that I do not regret for one second having you in my life. It was a pleasure to be your friend. I hope you know that.

To everyone else, share this with your friends and maybe someone that you are no longer speaking to will reach out to you. Maybe you can rekindle a friendship that is broken.

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.
