When You Lose Your Best Friend, Your Brother
Korey Leach



December 16, 2016.

We sit in Chemistry and we talk with our group. I say something stupid as always, then I see you on your phone texting my best friend who happens to be sitting next to me at the time. I still remember that day, every single f***ing detail. I still remember seeing the look on your face when I knew what you were doing. At 3:45 pm I decided to text you, just to see what would happen. I ask you "what is going on? Did I do something wrong." Five hours later I receive a response. "I need a break" is what you said. I'm crushed and start crying, I try to figure out what to do but I can't. I go through all of our old texts and see what I did wrong but in the end I did nothing. I miss you to this day but I can't change you. I have reached out to you and I never get a response. I try reaching out three times, all I get is "I'm sorry korey, I just don't want to be friends." I lose everything at that point. I start crying, yelling and screaming. I turn around and get into a fight with another friend. I lay in bed for the next three days crying over my best friend, my brother. I still haven't read the text saying that you don't want to be my friend. I apologize for anything I have done, I still love you like a brother. You have a special place in my heart. I will never get over my best friend, we share many things with each other and I hope we can again. I love you Maxwell. I hope everything in your life is well.

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.
