Thankful For You, Ex-Best Friend

Dear Ex-Best Friend,

I hope you are doing well.

It's been a while since I have talked to you. I want you to know that I miss you, but you probably don't feel the same way towards me. That's okay. I didn't expect you to. I'm sad that things ended the way that it did. I wish I could go back in time and change the outcome of our situation, but too much time has passed. It's too late.

I'd like to say that I'm sorry for a number of things.

I'm sorry that I didn't care more. I'm sorry that I held you responsible for all my secrets and I'm sorry that someone else is now my best friend. I'm sorry that we aren't making the memories that we thought we would make. I'm sorry that I didn't try harder to keep you as my friend. I'm sorry that we didn't take a lot more photos to remember our friendship by. I'm sorry that we will no longer be able to see each other.

Even though I'm sorry for a lot of things, I'm also thankful.

I'm thankful for all the memories that we did make. For all the laughs, tears of happiness, and smiles these past few years. For you always being honest with me and caring for me through my times of need. Thank you for all the sleepless nights that were spent just talking to each other and for the photos that we did take. I want to thank you the most for being the best friend that I needed during that part of my life.

It's weird not talking to you anymore to check up on you.

Sometimes I go through our old photos just to reminisce about the old days. I see conversations of our past messages and laugh. I haven't forgotten about our inside jokes and when I see something that reminds me of you, I almost always want to send it to you. Those moments when I want to contact you just remind me of what happened in the past, and I feel disappointed that we couldn't figure out a way to fix our problem.

I really miss you sometimes.


I hope that in the future we would unexpectedly meet and be happy to see each other. Hopefully that will rekindle our friendship, and we can forget about what happened when we stopped being friends. I look forward to hearing that you're happy with your life. I hope that you fulfilled your dreams and become successful in all that you do.


I want you to know that I'm not mad at you.

I'm not mad anymore. I will always be happy for you. I will always support you, and I hope you know I will always wish for the best for you. I'll always be here rooting for you from the sidelines. I am honored that you were my best friend and grateful for the lessons I have learned from our friendship. I am, and forever will be, grateful that I got to call you my best friend.

Sincerely,

Your Ex-Best Friend

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
