Dear Best Friend Who Is Not My Best Friend Anymore,

Hi, I miss you.

I seriously miss how easy everything was when we were friends. We didn't have a care in the world who liked us, and we definitely didn't care if anyone didn't like us. We were the perfect pair, you and I. There was a time, it didn't even feel like all that long ago, that we were inseparable. We did everything together from softball to long road trips to far off and random places. I miss it.

Dear Best Friend Who Is Not my Best Friend Anymore,

We had the best times together but even that feels like ages ago. It's crazy to think what just a few years will change, and how far two people can drift. It seems like it has been years since we've talked, even though it really hasn't been. But going from sharing every detail of every day, good or bad, to talking so little, has to be one of the hardest things for me. There was a time when I would go to you for everything, boy drama, girl drama, parent drama, school drama, athletic drama, and just when I was having what felt like the worst day of my life, you were always there. I wish you were still the person I could tell everything to, but you aren't that person for me anymore.

Dear Best Friend Who Is Not my Best Friend Anymore,

I wish things could just go back to normal, that I could just pick up the phone and call you, and that you'd immediately answer and listen to all of my problems and then we'd go to like Sonic or something after and spend the rest of our time laughing about something that had happened at school that day or something that had happened years ago, I could always count on you to make my worst days not so bad.

Dear Best Friend Who Is Not my Best Friend Anymore,

I am sorry. I'm sorry that we fell off, and I am sorry that we don't talk more. Truth is, I could probably do more to reach out, but I don't. I wish that if I ever did work up the courage to mend what is broken, that you would just become that person for me again. The person who is a constant for me. The person who is my biggest supporter, but also my biggest critic. But, truth is, we will probably never get back to that place, and honestly, that's okay too.

Dear Best Friend Who Is Not my Best Friend Anymore,

Thank you for all the memories over the years. Thank you for opening your home (and closet/makeup) to me. Thank you for letting me be apart of your family for all those years. Thank you for treating me as a sister and for never letting me go a day without feeling loved, because that is just the person that you are. Thank you for everything, for all the late night conversations to every dollar we spent at Sonic (and yes, there were a lot of them). I will never be able to truly thank you for how our friendship impacted me and shaped me to who I am today.

Dear Best Friend Who Is Not my Best Friend Anymore,

I love you so much, and I miss you too. I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Love,

Hannah

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.
