Dear Old Friend,

I thought about you today. Wondered how you were doing. I almost went to your house but decided that I shouldn't since it's been a few years since we've talked--let alone seen each other. I figured you were too busy with your family celebrating your brother's graduation. How is he doing? Still the football star? He's probably going off to some amazing college to play. He was always so talented at the game. Anyway, I'm doing well. I actually went back to school. I know I said a billion times that I didn't want to, but I have a dream and a purpose that I could only fulfill by getting a degree.

I was thinking about some of the old times we had together. You know, like when we would hang out in your room at your parents' house and watch movies and listen to music. I remember when you would do my makeup and hair before church on Thursday nights. I even remember that time you had a Superbowl Party at your house. It was nice to be among fellow Broncos fans.

I really don't understand why we stopped talking. It seemed like things were going well for us. We didn't fight that much. I thought we had a good friendship going on for us. I told you my story; you told me yours... then all of a sudden, you unfriended me on Facebook and just stopped texting me.

I'd really like to know why, but I'm too afraid to ask you, worried that the reason is as simple as we were in different places, or maybe I'm scared that there really is a big reason why and you just don't want to tell me.

I hope you're doing well and just wanted to say I miss you and maybe someday we will see each other again.

Yours Truly,
An 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.

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.
