An open letter to my ex best friend

Let me start off by saying this, I do not hate you. In all honesty, I wish nothing but the best for you. It took me a long time to realize this, but the best thing for both of us may just be to not have each other. God puts everyone in our lives for a reason. The reasons may not be what we perceived them to be in the beginning, but maybe the reason was to teach us a lesson or to guide us down a new path. Do you remember when we would talk about our future lives? You told me what job you wanted, what kind of house you wanted, even what you wanted your kids to look and act like. I want that for you, in fact, I am rooting for you. I may not be rooting for you on the sidelines or the front row, but I'm way in the back somewhere cheering you on. I'm even going to be there when you are going through hardships, but rather you being in my arms crying while I hug you, you're going to be in my prayers. I want to thank you for everything that we have been through together, and teaching me life lessons you probably don't even know you taught me. So let's go back to what I said in the beginning, I said: "I do not hate you". I mean that. I may have hated what you did, hated what you said, and hated how it ended. But, I also loved what we had, loved things you said, and loved the memories we had together. Nobody can replace those, and I hope you can make new ones with your new best friend. So the next time you're in the car and you hear our song, smile and throw a car concert. Next time you see the boy I had a crush on, laugh and walk away thinking of how awkward I would have just acted. And next time you think of the horrible fight we got into, think about how we both forgave each other and that's all in our past now. So go on, and start applying for those jobs and keep planning your perfect life on Pinterest, because it's gonna happen. I mean come on, if anyone knows you, it's me and I know you can do this.

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.
