An Open Letter To My Former Best Friend

It's been years since we've talked, but I wanted you to know that you were on my mind.

An Open Letter To My Former Best Friend
The Huffington Post

Hi old friend, how are you? We haven't talked in years and I wonder how you've been. Do you still love the things you used to? I hope you are doing well, even though we will probably never see each other again. I want you to know that I still care about you, and always will, because you were such a big part of my childhood.

I hope that you are loving life the way you did when we were carefree kids. I know that life is difficult and you may not be having the easiest time, but I pray it hasn't been too difficult. I think about what you are going through often and wonder how you are doing. After all, at one time we told each other everything and were inseparable.

I hope your new home is treating you well. It's weird that I no longer know where you live, because we lost touch. I hope your house is full of new memories and holds as many cherishable moments as the house that built you did. I miss going over to see you and knowing exactly what we would do. I miss playing with you and growing up right by your side. I miss knowing every small detail about you.

I hope you never forget who you are and the experiences that made you the person that you are today. You were so special to me at one time, and you still are, because you are a big part of my childhood, which determines the person I am today. Without you, who knows what kind of person I would be. I may be stricter without knowing your more liberal heart or I may have been less kind because I didn't have you in my life, since you were always full of crazy adventures.

I know that I am no longer in your life, but I want you to know that I think about you often. You were always so special to me as a child and I would like you to know that I still care about how you are doing. Likewise, if you ever need anything, I am still always here for you, even though we have been apart for so long.

I miss talking to you and having our adventures together. I still don't know why we drifted apart, but I know that it is a fact of life that at times it is unfortunate. Sometimes drifting away from people is for the best, but for you, my childhood best friend, I believe that it was just an unfortunate circumstance.

Whatever happened that separated us happened for a reason, but I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you. I wish you the best in all of your endeavors and I want you to know that if you ever need anything, I will always be here, no matter what, just like how it used to be.

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.
