An Open Letter To The Friend Who Has Come Back Into My Life

For whatever reasons you were not in my life, I'm just glad you are back.

An Open Letter To The Friend Who Has Come Back Into My Life

You know the old saying, "If it's meant to be, it'll find its way back?" Everyone thinks that this applies to relationships, but it really does represent a lot more than that.

For whatever reasons you temporarily left my life, all is forgotten. I've come to realize that in the end, does it really matter? Is this something worth leaving behind — a friendship that has impacted my life for the better? I don't care if it was your fault or my fault or the fault of a third party; all that matters is you are in my life.

For a short time, I had to live life without you and something wasn't right. I've kept busy occupying my life with other things, but I always knew something was missing. Without you I've been so incomplete, and now that you are back in my life again, I feel content. Having the ability to call you just because, crying to you about boys, smack-talking petty things or even talking about nonsense, my heart is so happy.

Not knowing what was happening in your life made me wish I did. I always knew why you were mad at some boy, issues with your family, and even pathetic small-talk drama. Those things might be small, but I regret more than anything taking them for granted. You're my go-to partner in crime, best friend, and sometimes I think we might actually be soulmates. Men come and go, but we were meant to be.

If we find ourselves drifting from each other again, know that I will always care about you and always love you. If you have to call me at 3 in the morning and sob to me until I have to get up to start my day, I'll be there to listen. Always. Sometimes it's healthy to let people who are so important to your life go, only to realize how much you actually need them. And I for one need you.

Wherever life takes us, I hope it's together. Life without you is so dull and boring. I hope to never experience it without your friendship.

I missed you so much. Please don't ever leave my life again.

P.S. You know too much about me; I have to keep you around.

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.
