A Letter To A Lost Friend

You're here in front of me, yet I don't know you anymore!

A Letter To A Lost Friend

I hope you're reading this, and you know that this is for you!

So here it is.

To my amazing and awesome best friend,

It has been a while since we have been contacted. Although, we were far away, like 10,000 miles, I still called you as my best friend. I felt like you were right here next to me, but I do not feel the same anymore. I feel like you are just a simple friend to me now.

You are physically here, but mentally/emotionally, you are not. I just want to say thank you so much for what you have done to me these past years for being so close to me and being there for me. Thank you for what you have taught me about being alone, love, education and more. I wouldn't expect this to happen but it happened. Life changes; people change. Everything changes, even the climate and even the sea level. I am not afraid to say goodbye to a friend who meant so much to me, because I now understand I will only be with someone who cares about my existence.

I know we're all busy with colleges and everything, but I always have set aside my time to connect and strengthen this friendship all the time, and it didn't seem to happen and grow. You have changed into a different person while you are fading away from me step by step. Every time you talked to me and when we had a conversation, it was not like before. It was like a normal friend's conversation.

Thank you for starting to fade away from me. I have now learned to let go and understand whom I should stick with. I learned that in life, people come and people go, no matter who you are. It is all good, and it is alright. See you later finally means goodbye. My heart drops to the ground to this day when I realize I lost a friend — not only a friend, my very best friend who used to be my partner in crime, a person who is willing to show me what is wrong and right and a person who would always offer me a ride all the time.

I am so glad I saw you these days doing so many great things and finally saw you smiling and enjoying your life more than ever, while I am struggling and trying so hard to see the rainbow and clear sky.

I miss you so much, my friend. I wish you the best of luck and our existence doesn't matter anymore. You have your friends, or even a best friend, who is better than me.

Sincerely yours,

Your best 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.

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.
