An Open Letter To My Ex-Best Friend

Dear Ex-Best Friend,

I never thought I'd see the day without you by my side. I thought our friendship was going to be a forever thing, but I realize now that our friendship didn't mean as much to you as I thought it did. I still think about you every day and wonder how you're doing. I still wonder whether it would be normal to catch up or hangout, but the more I think about it, the more I see that those times have passed. I know that growing up is a thing we all go through, but growing up without you is something I never wanted to experience.

I'm not here to tell you that I'm mad or that I wish we could be friends again. I'm here to remember our friendship and cherish everything that we used to have. I know God brought you into my life for a reason, and I never second guess why he did, because we no doubt shared some of the most unforgettable memories I have ever made.

From going camping every weekend to sharing our every secret to staying the night at your house for weeks straight, we were inseparable. We did everything together, and there's not one thing that I would change about that. We may not still be friends, but I will always cherish what we used to have.

There are a couple things I want you to know. If you ever need anyone to talk to or even cry too, I will always be here. No, we may not speak anymore, but that doesn't mean I won't be here for you. I will be here whether it's tomorrow or five years from now. The memory of our friendship will never slip my mind, and neither will you.

I'm happy for you. I don't really know where you're at in life or what you're looking to achieve, but I want you to know that I will always be cheering for you. I hope that all your dreams and life goals will come true. I hope that whatever obstacles come your way, that you will be able to overcome them without any trouble. I hope nothing will stop you from the life you want.

I want to give an apology... No, it may not be needed but I still want to say I'm sorry if I ever hurt you. I'm sorry if I wasn't the best friend at all times. I'm sorry that our friendship ended up the way it did. I know it's not merely all my fault, and that yes, this is part of God's master plan, but I'm still sorry for letting this friendship slip away. It is one friendship that I will never forget.

Lastly, I want to say thank you. Thank you for being there for me, on the good days and bad. Thank you for showing me how a true friend is supposed to treat me. Thank you for giving me unforgettable memories. Thank you for sharing some of your life with me, for it made a huge mark on my life.

I love you,

Your Ex-Bestfriend

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.
