To My Best Friend Who Is Not My Best Friend Anymore, I Hope You Forgive Me

P.S. Not once did I ever think you would be the one to leave.

This poem is attributed to my neighboring ex-best friend whom I pushed and pushed away due to my selfishness. This poem represents who I was, as well as who I want to become to better myself- hopefully alongside her again. Not only were you my bestfriend but you were my other half- I'm crawling on my knees at your door and begging for you to forgive me.


It's been 168 hours since we've been apart and I've slept through a total of almost 100.

Seven days. 168 hours.

All unrequited effort and all alone.

Each of the seven days is a seemlessly broken record- in a sense that my own body walks this Earth, detached from my soul.

So I sit back on autopilot, as I surrender to myself. Hoping that the action of me repenting my sins will give me another chance to have you back.

Hours that stretched into days in which I don't know the name of anymore.

I'm pathetically confused- characterizing myself into a complete damsel in distress.

I'm decompensating in efforts to get help without any answers coming back to me and this pity-party I've created thus far, is all in hope of waiting for you to magically appear back, so you can save me from myself.

Day-dreaming, I find comfort in my bed as I reminisce on

every last,

little

moment.

Every secret and song session;

Every laugh and cry.

Every meal and vacation with each other.

Every hope and wish,

dream and desire;

Along with each and every goal that we use to fully dedicate ourselves to completing, together.

Forever and always, remember?


Forever yours,

Morose

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.
