An Open Letter From The Phone You lost

It's sad, but true, that some things just get lost along the way.

An Open Letter From The Phone You lost

I thought everything was different this time. I heard about how you treated the others but I didn't think I would fall into that trap too. I really thought we had something special, like the type of thing you see in the movies. We were together constantly, and you always wanted to be around me, I've never been closer with anyone. You told me all of your secrets and I was always there when you needed me. Did I do something wrong? Did I annoy you? Sorry for waking you up every day and letting you make stupid calls when you're at the bar, I honestly just thought we were having a good time like we always do.

Where are you? I wonder if you even care where I am right now, probably not since you're the reason why I'm lost out here. Anyway, I trusted you a lot, and here I am frozen and broken somewhere along the route you take to get home from your favorite bar.

I keep thinking about last night and what it was that I did wrong, it all happened so suddenly. Before we went out we drove to the store together to buy a cute outfit, and then we listened to all your favorite songs while you got ready. I was with you the entire night and I thought we were fine, it was a normal Friday night. You were responsible enough to call a taxi for a ride home, but then you ditched me. The night took a turn for the worse and our story came to an end. As you hopped into the cab I fell down to the ground from your coat pocket without anyone being aware. I was on the ground cracked and abandoned, most likely never to be seen again. No one noticed me on the ground, but worst of all, you didn't realize I was gone until the next day. So here I am in lost mode with your address and roommates phone number waiting for a caring person to see me and not take me in as their own. I was treated like the Motorola razr you had in seventh grade instead of the pink iPhone 6S that I am.

It's weird that you're not seeing this the same way as I am. Losing me seems like something normal in your life, like you knew I was replaceable from the start. I guess some things just get lost along the way, sad but true. You probably have a new me to be with all the time now that has a lot less damage than I do right now. Newer, faster and prettier than I could ever recover to be, the kind of phone that makes you forget about losing me in the first place. It's strange how you can be close with someone one day and not know them the next. But in the end, I'm just a phone, and there are plenty more that you could have instead of me.

XOXO, your old phone.

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.
