A Letter To My Friend Who Passed

A Letter To My Friend Who Passed

I wish I knew where to begin.

Chills run through to my fingertips as I type this because I know that words cannot express how much you are missed. Losing you was a feeling that I would wish upon no one. However, knowing someone like you is something that everyone deserves. No one is perfect, but man, you were sure close. I have never met anyone who has cared more about the well-being of others than you. At such a young age, everyone knew how special you were. You had so many people who looked up to you, including myself. You have managed to leave an incredible impact on every person you have come into contact with, and although no longer physically with us, I can guarantee you will never be forgotten.

The day you passed, I was unaware at first. Sitting in the car beside my mom I told her how badly I wanted to visit you while I was home from school. About twenty minutes after that conversation is when I was made aware of your passing. My stomach flipped, and tears filled my eyes. It was incredibly hard to process.

For days the fact that you had left this earth, I could not fully register. It was all so surreal. Although I know you are now in a better place, I still wish that I had more time with you. I wish I could have visited you more often, and told you how much of an impact you truly made on me.

Looking back at pictures of us throughout the years, I experience a feeling of nostalgia that I have never felt before. The comfort, inspiration, laughter, and support that you offered to everyone is irreplaceable. The memories I have with you I will forever hold close to my heart.

I want you to know that I think about you every day. Your bracelet rarely leaves my wrist. I wear it as a constant reminder of the admirable life that you lived. I want you to know that I pray for you and your family every single night. Having you as my guardian angel is the biggest blessing. I now know that you are always watching over me. Since your passing, I have come to notice the impact you make on my daily life. I know that, from a distance, you are present, and you are working actively in our lives.

So therefore I will leave you with this. Although there is so much I wish i had the chance to say, Thank you for being you. Thank you for all the lessons you have taught me and all you have done for everyone in your life, although you may not know exactly how much that is. You are a beautiful soul and will forever be with me.

I love you Megan, and I cannot wait to be reunited with you soon.

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.
