To An Old Friend

Close or not, I still care.

To An Old Friend

We may not be as close anymore, but you impacted my life in a lot of ways.

Friends forever is an easy phrase to use about a friend you really care about, but what happens when forever is a lot shorter than you thought/ Throughout our lives, we meet many people and for relationships with them. Whether they become acquaintances, friends, or best friends, they are a part of our lives.

This is my time to thank you for all the memories I have that involve you. Thank you for growing up with me, learning new things about life with me, teaching me about life, and just letting me into yours. I will never forget all the fun things we used to do, whether we stayed in and watched movies and just talked or went out, these are all memories I will never forget. Simply growing up together and experiencing new things were fun. I am thankful to have a friend like you. Being young can be hard at times, and having good friends like you really made me feel like I was not alone.

Being your friend was great, I always felt like I had some one on my side. Whether it was the biggest problem at the time or a small problem I thought would end my world, you were there to listen. You allowed me to completely freak out, have a total meltdown before helping me calm down and making me realize that life would go on. I hope I allowed you that same comfort. Between movies and staying up late and eating scary amounts of cookie dough and simply talking about everything under the sun, I am glad to have a friend like you.

Nothing horrible happened to us, it is just that sometimes people grow apart, and that is okay. I do not have any negative feelings toward you; I would not be against being friends again. I am thankful to have had you there, during the hard times and the good times. I hope I have had the same effect on you that you have had on me; I hope that if you are ever in need, you can always feel like you can call me. If you are ever questioning if you have anyone on your side, you do. So thank you, thank you for helping me learn about myself and for teaching me what a good friend looks like. I will always think of you when a song we loved comes on the radio or I see a movie we watched an embarrassing number of times shows up on Netflix. I will never forget how much our friendship means to me.

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.
