Dear You,

It's been a while since we talked last. I wonder how you're doing sometimes; what you've been up to, what you've achieved, what you've done. I hope that everything is going well for you. I want the best for you because at one time, you were the best for me. We shared so many things together, and I had convinced myself that it was going to last forever. Things change and people grow, however, and we had decided that going our separate ways would be the best thing for each of us. Of course all of the fighting that lead up to that point definitely wasn't what you or I wanted at all.

I'm not writing this letter to get back at you or to tell any of the secrets you shared with me to the world because I thought you wronged me when we parted ways. I'm writing this letter because I finally have come to terms with the fact that we are no longer with each other and probably will never be again. If I were to try and write this letter to you even a month ago, I would find it hard to find any words at all to want to say to you. After all of this time, I'm finally ready to tell you what I should have told you while we were still together.

I love you, and I always have. But now, it's a different kind of love. I don't have any romantic feelings for you anymore, especially after all of this time, but you were such a big part of my life that if you walked up to me on the street tomorrow and asked me if I could help you out, I would drop everything to help in any way I could.

I miss you, but only a little bit. What I miss the most is the memories we made together. We had so much fun together. I will never forget the time we spent together. But, everything comes to an end eventually, and our time was up after three years of memories. I hope you revisit those memories every now and then and smile when you think of the good times we had together.

I want the best for you and I mean it. You never settled for anything less than great when we were together. You were (and probably still are) a perfectionist. I thought it was silly sometimes that you wanted everything to be as perfect as possible, but you worked so hard to make even the smallest details near flawless and it sure shows now. You're absolutely fantastic and I know that you are going places.

Thank you. Without you, I don't know what I would be doing. You pushed me in the direction that I should be going, and I couldn't thank you enough for that. When I was struggling with various issues through our relationship, you were right there for me to offer whatever support you could. Sometimes it wasn't the support I wanted, but it was always the support I needed.

I feel I have so much more to say to you, but summing it up to these most important points is only what is necessary. Know that I truly mean everything that I say in this letter to you. You made an impact on my life. I hope I made an impact on yours.

Wishing you the best,

Me

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
