To My Best Friend, Who Isn't My Best Friend Anymore.

A letter to the girl who was a forever friend.

To My Best Friend, Who Isn't My Best Friend Anymore.
Her Campus

Yeah, we were best friends, and yes we vowed to always stay best friends. We had the best of times together. Even laughing so hard we would pee our pants, which we also vowed we would never talk about. There were nights we never slept and days we never woke up. We told secrets that were only meant for our ears and clothes that we only shared. You and I even cried, we talked about life, what made us happy and what made us sad. We balanced each other out like yin and yang. We got out of school and got together, we stayed the night together every night, and we spent every weekend together. Your family was also my family and I miss them just as much as I miss you.

One of my favorite times with you was driving around town with the windows down and singing our favorite songs at the top of our lugs. I didn't think those times would ever end. Life does not have the same plans for us that we had in our heads though. We did not hang out anymore or talk anymore. I just want you to know I think about you. I think about the times we had, I wonder how you're doing and I hope life has taken you in the direction you need to be heading. They say breaking up in a relationship hurts, but breaking up a friendship hurts way more than any boy that has ever hurt me. There were times I sat down and cried and wondered what we did that we needed to drift so far away. You were suppose to be my forever friend, my sister, and best friend. I didn't delete our pictures or ever speak badly of you. When asked if I still talked to you, I didn't have any answer besides that I don't know you anymore. I'll always speak highly of you even when you hurt me and spoke low of me. But that's ok. We all hurt in different ways.

Everyone said we weren't one without the other. It just didn't work out that way though. We outgrew each other, moved onto better things, and found ourselves in different ways. We had our run and I'm glad I had the chance to have you in my life. You taught me lessons and new views on life. You showed me how to be a friend and how to not be a friend. You reminded me to never give up on myself and to remember to love myself even when I felt like no one else loved me. Most importantly, you showed me how to have fun. There wasn't a time I wasn't laughing or smiling. You knew how to make me feel care free and how to let loose. So thank you. Thank you for reserving a chapter in my book of life that I can reread over and over. But for now, I'm moving on with the next chapter in my life.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
