An Open Letter To My Best Friend's Heartbreaker
Banoosh TV

Hi, it's me again. The best friend of the person's heart you broke. I would ask how you're doing, but truth be told, I really don't care.

What I do care about is enlightening you how much your actions have affected one of the greatest people in my life, and how you need to think twice before you carelessly and selfishly throw around someone's heart again.

I'd like to say that it will never be her heart again, but I can't. You may have hurt her, but there is a part of her that still loves you. I get it, because I've been in her shoes before, but then again... I don't, because it's you. You, who led her on, treated her with less respect than she deserves, and left her feeling broken and confused. I can tell when she thinks about you from time to time, because she still does, wondering what she did to deserve the way you treated her.

You can say that I have no place saying these things to you, that it's not my relationship so I should keep my opinions to myself. And while everyone is entitled to their opinions, I must say that you are wrong and it's you that has no place to talk. Let me break it down for you.

I have been there through everything with my best friend. Before you came along, when you became a crush, when you became a significant other, and then when you became a stranger filled with memories and time. Who do you think heard all of the excitement and saw the light in her eyes when she talked about the first date? Who do you think helped pick out outfits for when she would see you? Who do you think gave relationship advice when it came to birthday gifts and meeting the family? It was me.

So, as you can imagine, with all the positives, came the negatives. I was the one who she came crying to, the one who watched her self-esteem crumble into shambles, the one who watched her suffer to the point where it was physically painful for me to see my best friend in so much agony. I had to hear about you, how you broke her heart, how she couldn't get over you, and when you randomly would text her, she thought it was going to be different that time around.

I don't hate you. Hate is a strong word. I know you're a decent human being. But I really despise you for the way you treated my best friend. I do, and I'm not afraid to say it. The way you threw her heart to the side shows the kind of character you possess, or lack there-of. And while I'll never have the opportunity to say this to your face, it's something I have to say. Because you need to know how much you hurt her.

She's different because of you, you know? She's more guarded, she tears up when we watch rom-coms, she has a jaded view of love. And I know that when she's ready, the right guy will come along and make her forget about you. But I have a problem with how you thought you could break her heart the way you did without any repercussions.

I don't care about your life anymore, and I hope you end up somewhere else with a successful and happy life, because everyone should be happy. But you better shape up and realize the severity of your actions, and that you have the power to change people's lives. We all do. You don't get to walk around, making marks on people's lives and then only think of yourself and do what you want to do. I'm not saying to be selfless, but your selfish actions caused a lot of pain, and you need to at the very least be conscious of other's feelings. You need to be kind to those who love you, and you better respect the person you end up with. You may have broken my best friend's heart, but it happened, and now you need to learn and grow.

I fearlessly love my friends. They are my ride or dies, my second family, and I will protect them at all costs. Don't re-open old wounds. Know that I don't like you, and I will never like you again. You don't get to hurt my best friend and then pick up where you left off when it's convenient for you. She may not see it, she may have a soft spot for you, but I don't. And the next person that you date will have a best friend just like me. Move on from the past and just try to be a good person.

I wish you the best and I hope I never see you again.

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.
