To My Ex-Best Friend, I Hope You're Doing Well

We aren't friends anymore but I'm still here for you.

To My Ex-Best Friend, I Hope You're Doing Well
Brooke Holford

We all need at least one good friend, someone we can go to about everything. This is the person you call seconds after running into your ex at the gas station, or you call because you tripped up the stairs in public. We all need a person to go to, sometimes we just chose the wrong person, and realize it once they know too much about our lives. I'm a firm believer that everything does NOT happen for a reason, but sometimes we are better off breaking up and going our separate ways. I have had my fair share of crappy friendships, but genuinely wish the best for each and every one of my ex-friends.

We went our separate ways for whatever reason. They say forgive but never forget, but honestly, I don't remember half the reasons we stopped being friends. It doesn't matter anymore. Its been years, we are out of grade school now and trying to make something of ourselves. It didn't work out for a reason, we have different views on things and different ideas of what we want as a friend.

I want you to know that I will always be there for you, regardless of the last time we talked. If you texted me today with nobody else to go to, I would still answer. We are no longer best friends, friends, acquaintances, we are nothing, but we have the same past just like any other relationship. I will always be available if you need someone to talk to. Your secrets from 10 years ago, and secrets from today will always be safe with me, just don't do me wrong. You get what you give, I expect the same respect in return. I would never hang out your dirty laundry for anyone, and wouldn't expect mine to be hung out either.

I hope you achieve everything you ever dreamed of. I hope you found a new best friend to go to about everything. I hope your family is well, school is well, and I hope you make something of yourself. We aren't friends for a reason of the past, but you should know that I want you to be happy.

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.
