An Open Letter To The Friend That Gave Me Another Chance

I never realized that you could get so wrapped up in someone that you lose the people who love you most.

Dear the one who gave me another chance,

I just want to start off and say that I am so sorry for everything that I put you through for the past year. I was a bad friend and I can't change the past, but I can change the future. Sometimes you fall in love or fall in lust with someone and you forget everyone else except for them. You get so caught up in the present and you start to only want to see that person. Eventually, you don't care about seeing anyone else, which even includes your family. That’s what I did. I got caught up in love and didn’t realize that I cut everyone else out of my life.

I never realized that you could get so wrapped up in someone that you lose the people who love you most. I decided that a boy was better than you, and that should have never happened because you're my best friend and you do not deserve that. You were always there for me and I was not there when you needed me. That was my fault and I deeply regret it. You are an amazing friend for giving me another chance.

When we broke up, I started realizing how bad I treated you. I cut you from my life because my boyfriend didn’t like you. He had no reason not to like you, but he didn’t, and I let it ruin my friendship with you. You have been nothing but a great friend to me and I will always call you my best friend. We have been friends for 12 years or so now and I am so happy you let me come back into your life. I'm so happy we get to have more dorky shenanigans and so many more years to come.

You knew me in my awkward emo stage, the stage where I started to learn how to dress, and then my college days. You've seen me in my worst moments and have watched me achieve my best moments. 12 years ago, we met at swim class and had no clue who each other were, let alone that we would be best friends for 11 or so years after that. Now we are both at college and have moved away from our high school lives, but we won't move away from each other even when we are miles apart.

We have been through a lot of stuff with each other and I know that you still hurt when you think about me ditching you, but I will always consider you my sister and best friend. I don’t believe that anything that I did was justified but the fact is, I let a stupid boy come between my best friend and me. I really hope that I will never do that again, but when I do eventually get married, you will be with me as a Maid of Honor, along with my sister of course. Thank you for letting me back into your life. I love you so much and thank for being my best friend through thick and thin.

Sincerely,

Your best 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.

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.
