A Letter To My Old Friend And The Boy I Thought My Heart Loved

I can honestly say, these last few months of not talking to you have been rough. I think about you so much and constantly wonder how you are doing. I think about why we do not talk anymore, I often wonder how your family is doing and I think about what it would be like if we still talked.

We were friends from the sixth grade; which lasted almost 8 years. You have seen me at my worst, and my best. Though we may have not always agreed or got along, you were the first person I would ever text if I needed to talk or just get out of the house. You would stay over on school nights and talk with me about anything and everything. You would always accept the fact, if we had school the next day; we probably were going to be late.

We went on a mission trip together, which I think is where our friendship grew. We went to my cabin after graduation, which was so much fun. Remember when, you were called because we had to go outside to the outhouse and there was a bear? Good times.

I do not know what happened that summer after the cabin trip, but we kind of fell apart. Then we went to college and we started talking like we used too – all day, every day. I knew all along that you and I both wanted to be more than friends, but I didn’t know how to tell you – even though you kind of told me how you felt. It was towards the beginning of sophomore year of college, and I finally sent you a text about how I felt. From then on, I was so happy and we started our relationship.

Going to two different colleges was hard, but we worked through it. We had issues with others that we had to deal with, but we always got through it. For those nine months that we were together, you showed me how a guy should treat a girl; we went on dates, you sat with me during my IV treatments, and we visited Starbucks regularly.

Things got really hard for us and we decided to take a break. We said that if we were meant to be, we would get back together. Since that last FaceTime call, you haven’t talked to me. Why? It has been almost 11 months; I just don’t understand. I seriously did everything in my power for this not to happen. I miss my best friend. I miss talking to you every day, and calling or texting you when I needed advice or just someone to talk to.

I will tell you, these last 11 months have not been easy. I tell everyone I am okay with not talking you, but really I think about you often and wonder how you are doing. I have tried to reach out and message you, but get nothing back. It is now time for me to move on and not worry about it. It honestly sucks that we are throwing years of friendship away, but it seems like you want that. When you are ready to talk things over, please let me know. I cannot dwell on the past anymore; it is time for me to move on.

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.
