To The Friend In College Who Used To Be My Best Friend

We swore we would stay best friends in college, but we drifted.

9

You have been my best friend since middle school and I am sure you know that. We have so many memories together that I would not trade for ANYTHING. All the countless sleepovers and froyo dates all throughout middle school and high school. We stayed best friends all throughout high school and you helped me through so much. Graduation day was approaching and we promised our friendship wouldn’t change. I wish that was true.

The first year went great. Texting every day, calling, and letting each other know how our lives were going. It was easy. We were in different states but long distance did not matter to us. Nothing could stop us from being best friends. Until you got a boyfriend. I was happy for you. I really was.

The problem with you, however, you have this tendency to forget everyone in the world except your boyfriend. Communication is a two-way street so don’t say I don’t put in any effort. I see you always posting pictures on Instagram with him and on your Snapchat. Like I said, I’m happy for you. I guess I just wish that you missed me as much as I miss you. You’ll text me out of the blue to tell me you miss me. That’s funny since you have a million ways to show it. But you don’t. Please never think that I hate you. I still love you except this time, I won’t do anything for you. Not the way I used to, anyway. All I can ask is why? Am I just not as important to you as you are to me? Or did you just forget our friendship? I keep up with your life. I just hate that my texts and Snapchat's go unanswered. Of course, when you come back in town we grab lunch as old friends. Old friends.

Yeah, I wish our title was more updated, but I guess some things don’t last 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.
