A Letter To My Old Best Friend
Odyssey

Dear Old Best Friend,

Hey there, it’s been a while since we’ve talked. Remember when we used to be best friends? Those were the days. We used to have so much fun together. Whether we were having sleepovers and staying up all night or taking spontaneous road trips, we always had a good time. Although I am sad we grew apart, please know that I will always be here if you EVER need someone. Know that I am still cheering you on in life, just doing so from behind my computer screen.

Wow, we used to have the time of our lives together. I miss those days where I would wake up and automatically want to text or hang out with you. Our friendship was so easy. Although that once strong friendship is gone, please know this; know that I am sorry that we grew apart. We didn’t mean for it to happen, but as people grow up they often get separated from those that they used to be so close to. Know that I do think about you every once in a while, wondering how you’re doing or where you are in life. And sometimes, I miss you. I admit I do non-creepingly stalk your social media just trying to get a sense of your current life. But whenever I do this, it’s bittersweet. Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing how happy you are. But I also feel nostalgic for the fun times that we used to have together. I then try to give myself a reality check; because people grow apart. People growing apart in life in inevitable, I’m just sorry it happened to us.

Old best friend, I wish only the best for you. I hope that you live a long, happy, and healthy life surrounded by family and loved ones. You truly deserve the best in this world, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. Just know that I am always here no matter what. I promise it wouldn’t be weird if you were to ever message me out of the blue; I’d welcome you with open arms. If you ever need someone to talk to or just be there for you; I’m your girl. I promise that I will cherish the memories we once made for the rest of my life, and keep them close to my heart. Maybe someday we will meet up again, but for now just know that I am always close by.

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.

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.
