Losing A Best Guy Friend

It's like having your favorite ice cream flavor discontinued.

Throughout most of my life, I've never really had a lot of best guy friends. I had a few here or there, but never really any that didn't go away, or that I ended up having a crush on. Recently, I had a best guy friend and immediately we hit things off. We did everything together, we met at work and hung out after work every time we were scheduled together. We went to graduation parties and he wrote me when he went into the Army. It was like I finally found someone who I could talk to about anything and he would always make me feel better about any situation. He knew when and how to make me laugh. We became really close and I finally felt happy and anyone could see that.

I had spent so much time and effort in the friendship we had and invested my whole heart into being the best friend I could be for him, especially when he was going through basic training. I knew he was trying to push through and be the best he could, so I just wanted him to know he had someone cheering him on.

I knew he was cheering me on. He would help me study for my dental exams and would always tell me how he believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself. I knew he would listen to what I had to say (even when I vented to him about the stupid things going on in my life). Overall, I knew I could trust him with my life and I hoped he would trust me with his.

I'm not going to go into detail as to why we aren't friends anymore, but I will tell you how I felt. I was heartbroken; I was more heart broken than I was when my ex-boyfriend and I broke up. It was just like losing a family member or a girl best friend. I remember asking God why he would put such a great person in my life and then have him just walk away. I was upset and was sick to my stomach. Instead of thanking God for him, I was mad he let him walk out. I was lost and felt like my whole world was turning upside down. It was like that part of my life where I had invested so much time and energy was ripped out and thrown on the ground.

It's been nine, almost 10 months since all of this happened, I had healed my broken heart and almost erased it from my memory and just recently everything seemed to pop back up again. That's why I decided to write this article.

We aren't friends on Facebook anymore and I don't think he will see this, but if he does, I hope he understands I'm happy for him, no matter what has happened, or how things ended. If he is happy, then I am happy and will constantly pray for him to have a great life.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
