To My Old Friend

Hey, how are you doing?

How is everything going? It's been a while since we last talked. I hope you are doing well. I hope that everything you wished to accomplish back when we talked you have accomplished. You had always talked about getting that job. You had dreamed about seeing family and gaining new friends. I hope all this is happening for you.

There is a ton I wish I could tell you. You were a huge part of my life, and it is really hard to think about all the good and bad times we had together. We had some pretty good times didn't we? Whenever I think about the friendship we had, I wish we could go back in time and restart. I wish we could have put things back to where they used to be, but I know this will never happen due to what happened.

I never told you, but I was so proud of everything you had done. We had gone through so much together that it almost seemed like we had known each other for a lifetime. I know that your parents are proud of everything you had done so far.

I know that we can't talk in person, but if I could speak to you again, I would say thank you. Thank you for everything that you have done for me and for showing me the real you. When I needed someone to cheer me up, someone to hug, or just someone to talk to, you were always there for me. I had gone through a lot during our friendship, and you had never looked down on me for any of it. You had always helped me and were supportive of me. Thank you.

You had also shown me the real you. The you that no one else knew about. Your weird side, your crazy side, your loud side and quiet side. If a stranger were to ask me to describe you, I would tell them that that is a long story. You could be very quiet around others, but as soon as it was just us you showed me a completely different side of you. You had shown me the real you. I had seen all the quirks of you, all the little things that made you weird and strange. But that is what friends do. They show each other the part of them that not even their family knows about. You could be a completely different person around me and I really liked it.

We had some good times together. I still remember the first time we met, the first time we hung out together, and all the little times together. However, as most relationships go, we do not think that there will be a last time we hang out. A last "see you later", or a last "hello". We just don't think about that. I really regret the last time I had said "see you later". I never would have thought that would be the last time I would say that, or that this would be the last time I would see you smile or laugh.

Man, would I give anything to hangout with you again. To go to our favorite spot again. To be able to see you and hear your laugh again. Time may have continued, but there has been a void in my heart that will never go away. We may have only been friends for a short period of time, but you will always have a spot in my heart.

Until next time,

Your old friend

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.
