An Open Letter to My Former Best Friend

I wish things didn't end this way, but I wish you well.

An Open Letter to My Former Best Friend
Edie Parker

There's too many things that I could never say to you, because as angry as you made me, I'd never want to hurt you.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry that we grew apart, and I'm sorry that things ended the way they did.

I don't wish bad things for you, I never could.

However, I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't take your snide comments, and your constant cancelling of plans, and to be honest, I couldn't take the way our friendship had become.

I miss the days when we were inseparable, you were always there.

16 years of friendship, down the drain.

I'm sad, of course I am. I miss you, a lot. But you and I have grown into different people. That happens, and it's okay.

We have different values and different ways of thinking. We're both growing into adulthood, and it's scary, we handle things in different ways. And again, it's okay.

I know there were a lot of hurt feelings on both sides, and I hope with time that it will subside.

Hopefully, one day soon you and I will be back to how we were.

But just understand, I can't handle a friendship with someone who makes me so angry, so frustrated, and down right upset more often than not.

So, although I care for you, and of course I always will, if we cannot get our friendship back to how it was before all this happened, just know that I wish you well. No hard feelings.

I'll always appreciate the times we had, and the memories we shared. Thanks for everything.

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.
