To The Friend That Has Drifted Away

We all have a few people in our lives that we have just drifted apart from.

Dear Old Friend,

I used to think that you would be my friend forever. I used to know everything that went on in your life from the guys you would talk to, to the adventures you had, to the classes you were taking. Now, however, it is the complete opposite because I now know nothing, that is going on in your life, the guys you talk to, the adventures you have, and the classes you are taking. Are you still friends with the people we used to know? No one even remembers our friendship; I do not even know if you do.

We completely drifted. We became completely different people. I do not have the same interests that we used to have and I doubt that you remember what we used to listen to. I know I had exaggerated how much I used to agree with you and now I think that you did too.

It seems like our friendship was like a lifetime ago but I remember some of the laughs we shared as if it was half an hour ago. The exact words are not clear but what it was about and the ideas and intent between us was. W used to hang out for six hours just because. Everything we did, we were so excited about it. We didn’t think of the damage or the repercussions of our ideas, we just fantasized them. We built a pillow forts because we had the time to. We had a great time. Not a care in the world. I am not friends with you anymore because we made different choices but I am left with nothing but awesome memories. The little choices we made that made us close. I do not regret any of them.

Thanks for the smiles that we shared secretly in class. Thanks for secrets you entrusted me with. Thanks for being my best friend, even if it didn't last forever. And most importantly, thanks for being a part in shaping who I am today.

To the many friends that I just lost touch with: our friendship didn't end badly, it just didn't last forever. Maybe one day we will get back in touch and if we do, I will be so happy and so welcome to it!

With tons of love,

Your Old 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.
