Friends Will Come And Go

Sometimes you will lose friends and in the long run, it ends up being a good thing.

Friends Will Come And Go

Sometimes a friendship has to end. It is not always what you want but it turns out being for the best. Friends are supposed to be there for you and understand and care what is going on in your life. Sometimes they just do not care anymore. This can be due to other friends, school, family, and even boyfriends. The part that stings about the whole situation is that at one time they were the person you told everything to. They were your best friend and someone you could rely on. All of a sudden it just stops and at the time it is sad to think about or deal with, but then you think about it and it is truly for the best. Sometimes in life you will become friends with people that bring you down instead of bring you up in life. These kinds of people will come in go in your life and that is fine and you may be upset at the moment, but over time things will get better and that will change. Things change and people change and sometimes it ends up being a good thing in the long run. They were there for you at one point in time and we should be thankful for those days and not worry as much about it ending.

Ephesians 4:29-32 says, "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

So be thankful for your real friends who are going to bring out the best in you and make you a better person. Don’t waste your time on people who are not worth it. Don’t let people walk all over you. You are your own person and deserve to be treated well. The main point is not to hold it against them for not wanting to be friends anymore. Think about the good memories that you had with them and do not dwell on the bad ones. As long as you are being the bigger person it does not matter what happens. Just move on because it probably happened for a reason and is part of a bigger plan. One day they may decide that they want you in their life and you will be faced with two options: being friends again or ignoring them. If this happens, think about what will be best for you in the long run. Think about everything before you let them back into your life. Most of the time if you miss them they probably miss you. You just have to think about if they will help you be a better person or not.

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.
