To The Friend Who Came Back Into My Life

I need to tell you how thankful I am that you are back in my life.

To The Friend Who Came Back Into My Life
Taylor Milano

Think back to the friends you've lost. I know that sounds depressing, but I'm serious.

Think. Why did you lose that friend? Was it a fight? Did one of you move away? Did you just simply lose touch?

Now think back to now. If you could rekindle what you used to have with that friend, would you?

I did, and I am so happy that I did.

When we stopped being friends, there was no massive argument, we didn't just decide that one day we weren't going to be friends anymore. We simply grew a bit distant. I went to one college, she went to another. I had one group of friends, she had another. Sure we talked every once in a while, but it wasn't nearly how it was when we saw each other almost every day. We grew apart. It happens.

You know how it goes. You run into someone you haven't seen in a while and you have the typical "we need to hang out!" conversation. You both know that that hangout is not going to happen. Not in a malicious way, simply just because life gets in the way.

Well, guess what, one day we finally hung out, and ever since have been attached at the hip. I didn't realize how much I missed you until you were back in my life 100%. Having you back in my life is the best thing that could have ever happened.

The way we just picked up where we left off is proof that our friendship is special, and wasn't meant to end. It never really ended though, it just took a bit of a pause. It's never taking another pause again, I can tell you that one for certain.

We talk so much you'd think we're in a relationship. I say this constantly, but if anyone were to ever see our texts to each other, they'd probably think there is something either going on between us or something seriously wrong with us. And I wouldn't want it any other way.

I'm actually happy that our friendship took a bit of a break because now we are closer than ever. You are such an incredible human being. So incredible that I feel so blessed that you are my friend.

I am so happy that our "we need to hang out!" conversation didn't go how they normally go. I am so happy to have you back in my life. You're a gem, a beautiful person inside and out, and most importantly, an amazing friend.

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.
