Open Letter To My Friends I Never Talk To

How Have you Been?

Open Letter To My Friends I Never Talk To
Texts From Dog

This is to all of you.

You know who you are, and if you do not know, this is probably to you as well.

We have been friends on Facebook for who knows how long. We met in high school, at a camp, in college, or through our mutual friends. But besides you liking my stuff, me liking yours, and not forgetting the birthday post each year, we do not really say much to one another.

Even so, this does not mean I do not care or do not think about you. I do both, a lot. I would love to have a daily conversation with everyone, to catch up, but things happen. For one, some of you I can never seem to hold an online conversation with; I can only talk to you in person. But that is okay, I would much rather talk in person anyway. For some of you, I just would not know what to say, as it has been so long since we last talked. And other times, my anxiety gets in the way and I feel like maybe you would not want to talk to me.

Our lives may drive us apart, across the country, across the globe, but you hold a place in my heart. Otherwise, I would not be writing this to you. And you may not ever want to speak to me again, that's okay, too. You are not required to ever have to talk to me again if you do not choose to.

When I am at my computer and I see your name come up as "online," I open a chat, but often I never know what to say. So I do not say anything.

Even though I often do not say anything, I still consider you my friend, I still care, and I still wonder what you have been up to. And maybe one day I will send you a message, but until then, I will just be wishing you the best.

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.
