A Letter To My Former Best Friend

Boyfriends come and go -- but sometimes best friends do too.

A Letter To My Former Best Friend

Hey, it's me. You remember me, right? We used to be best friends, but now you're just another person I pass on the streets. I'm not exactly sure how I feel towards you anymore. Over the years, I've experienced so many emotions after losing our friendship that I guess now you're just another memory in the back of my head.

Part of me wants to put all the blame on you and hold you at fault for how things turned out, but at the same time I wonder if it was something I did. Did I overreact about something that I shouldn't have? Was I not good enough of a friend? Did you just get sick of me? We never really did discuss whatever happened. One second we were thick as thieves and the next we just completely stopped talking all together. I will honestly say a breakup with one of your best friends cuts deeper than any breakup with a boyfriend ever will. You're not just losing your best friend, but also your partner in crime, your shoulder to cry on, your confidant, the person who makes you laugh harder than anybody else and so much more.

How was it so easy for you to just turn your head the other way and forget about everything we've been through? I guess that's my biggest question. Maybe I'll never know the answer to that question and that's something I've accepted over the years. The truth is if you really valued our friendship or cared about me, we would have resolved everything and came out on the other side.

Don't get me wrong, I am at fault just as much as you were. I was stubborn and unwilling to just let it go. Part of me regrets doing this and the other half tells myself if it were supposed to be another way -- it would have been. The end of our friendship led to the beginning of many new friendships that I cherish and am glad I have found -- thank you for that.

Sometimes I wonder where we'd be now if things didn't play out the way they did, but whatever you're doing I hope it's something that brings you endless happiness. I will always miss our friendship and the person you used to be, but thankfully I have years of memories with you to look back on and hold onto forever.

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.
