To The Girl I'm No Longer Friends With

I should have trusted my instincts.

I'm sorry that I have to do this.

There is a lot I could say, but I don't want this to get ugly. But thank you for being there for me at one point in my life. We had some good times from middle school to high school. I certainly don't regret anything. Without a doubt, you were my best friend.

But what I do regret is not trusting my instincts in the time being. I began seeing signs saying that we should go our separate ways, but I kept pushing it aside thinking it was just a bump in the road. What I didn't know was that there would be more bumps to come. It's hard to tell which one of us changed. Everyone was telling me that it's okay to let people change when you're in college. I wasn't sure if it was you or if I was simply stopping myself from changing.

I felt that you always had something negative to say whether you were on my side or not. When I would vent about something, you would take it up a notch. And I was unsure if you were trying to be a good friend, or if it was part of your agenda. Every day it became more clear that we were two different people. I'm not saying that was a bad thing, it just means that the two of us were not compatible. I have myself to blame for not standing up for myself.

When my boyfriend broke up with me, I remained calm, while you completely trashed him. Wishing him ill while I simply just tuned him out. That time I had a fight with my ex was a huge mistake, but I know better now. Just because I was not angry, doesn't mean I needed someone else to feel it for me. If I was okay, then you should've been too, because it was my love life, and not yours.

It always had to be your way. You got mad at me when my phone stopped working, and my texts didn't send. I contacted you every way possible to let you know my phone wasn't working. What bothers me most is that it didn't not occur to you. You didn't reach out to me through social media, you simply jumped to conclusions. It's like it was always some one else's fault, you got to be the victim every time. You never owned up to anything, and I always had to spell it out for you.

Yes, I'm never around. Guess what, we both go to different colleges far away from home. And you knew I was going to be gone all semester. Yet, you still text me that I've done something wrong. You say I'm never around, and I don't make an attempt to hang out with you. You say you feel sad that I am posting pictures with my college friends on Facebook all the time. I think that I am allowed to have other friends. I'm not your mom. I don't hang out with them to make you jealous. They are my friends because I enjoy their company. I know you have friends at school, so go enjoy being with them, and forget about me for once.

And when you are with your college BFFs, please do not do the same thing to them. No one needs the negative energy, it really isn't necessary. We are all adults here. I really hate being mean, and you know that I do, but I have to speak for myself for once.

Wherever you are, I hope you are doing well. I hope your friends at school are taking good care of you, and you're getting the grades you want. I wish you nothing but the best.

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.
