To The Best Friend I Don't Talk To Anymore,

To me, you will always hold a special place in my heart, even if we aren't close anymore. We've been through so much together and I wouldn't have gotten through it without you. Through the endless relationship drama, issues with my parents, and complaints about life in general, you talked me through it all. You stuck up for me, you defended me, you picked me up when I was down. We were always there for each other and then one day, it all just stopped.

I think about you often. I think about how well you must be doing, how smart you were to leave high school behind you, how much I miss you. I think about wanting to spend time with you and wanting to just physically see you standing in front of me. I want to hug you and tell you everything that's happened over the last two years. I want to tell you how sorry I am for not being the friend you needed.

Most importantly, I want to thank you for making high school suck less, for showing me what a true friend is and for always making me laugh. I am so glad that we were able to spend as much time as we did together. I will forever cherish the memories we made and the tears we shed from laughing so hard. I still miss you, I will always love you and I will continually hope to hear from you again. You were the best friend I've ever had and it devastates me every day to know and remember that we no longer speak. My heart breaks, but I'll always remember what you meant to me. You deserve nothing but the best and all the happiness in the world.

Forever missing you,

The Friend You Left Behind

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.
