An Open Letter To My Old Best Friend
favor.com

How've you been? I've missed you. I miss how we used to be. I wish things wouldn't have changed between us. But they have. I've been thinking about you a lot lately and the memories we made together. To quote Twenty One Pilots, I "wish we could turn back time." I wish we could fix whats broken. Ever since you decided to become a different person, we haven't spent much time together. We were supposed to take on the world together. Now I'm lucky if you like my Instagram picture. I hope you're doing OK. I would ask you, but we aren't on that level anymore to just casually talk and have a conversation.

Maybe you were right about me. I've noticed that lately. I wish you weren't always right about everything, but you are. When you told me we couldn't be friends anymore, I wasn't sad. I was angrier that you took yourself away from me. You were the best friend I've ever had. Maybe it was all in my head, but I thought we'd be friends until the end just like we'd talked about so many nights before. You hurt me a lot, even when we were still friends. You would constantly do things to hurt me, but I kept telling myself 'oh it's ok, she doesn't mean it.' Maybe at the time it wasn't intentional, but I wouldn't believe you now if you paid me.

If there is one thing I can thank you for, it's for giving me some of the greatest memories I have. Looking back you were a shitty friend, but at least we always had fun. It's unfortunate that not everyone gets to see you the way I once saw you. I thought you were the most insightful, generous, hysterical person I've ever met. my adventure buddy, shoulder to cry on, fellow McDonald's lover, and concert lover. You wouldn't believe the number of times I've had to defend you and be there for you when nobody else was. I did that all because that's what a real friend does. You'll never know anything about a real friendship. And for that, I'm sorry. I needed to write this letter for everyone who has ever had a fake friend like you. Some things can never be forgiven and some things can never be unsaid. You were in the wrong and I now know that. One of these days all this will come back to haunt you and I won't be around to pick up the pieces. you're on your own for this one. Good luck in college.


Sincerely,

An old 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.
