To The Friend Who Didn't Need Me Anymore

"I hope you see this and know that I do not regret any of our friendship. What I regret is how it ended. But for now, I’m off doing my own thing.. and I hope you are as well."

To The Friend Who Didn't Need Me Anymore

For a while I would sit wondering how I could fix things. I was upset that I wasn’t even given the opportunity to fix what we once had. I look back and realize how much of my life was spent making memories that would one day mean nothing to you and it hurts. There are very few things in life that can make you feel as low as losing a bestfriend who you thought would be by your side through everything.

Every once in awhile I will see you tagged in a picture on someone else’s page, or someone will bring up your name, and for that one second, you will feel that pain again. But soon after you will remember how things are and you will forget. I can’t lie and say that every once in awhile, I consider texting you.. or calling you to see how things are. I want to ask if we can fix things, or if you’re ready to talk. But then I look around and see how awesome life is. And maybe.. just maybe.. I don’t need you anymore. I look at all of my amazing friends and see the people who care about me the most. You didn’t care, so why should I?

I never deleted our pictures on my phone because I don’t want to forget all of the amazing times we had growing up. Sometimes when I stumble upon them, it brings tears to my eyes. But again, those are just memories. I truly hope that things are going well for you and that life is everything you’ve hoped it would be. But I also wish you knew that you didn’t win. You didn’t take anything from me, other than your friendship. I’m fine. And I have found amazing friends that would never do that to me. So there it is. I hope you see this and know that I do not regret any of our friendship. What I regret is how it ended. But for now, I’m off doing my own thing.. and I hope you are as well.

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.
