An Open Letter to My Middle School Best Friend

Memories that have faded away

An Open Letter to My Middle School Best Friend

Dear Middle School Best Friend,

It took me awhile to write this, as I have to remember the blurred memories we had together. From the times we played uno on Tuesday and Thursday (which I still play, and now became addicted) to that time we did stuff together on 8th grade field day.

But, that is not the topic of this letter. It is mostly what happens afterwards. We started to drift apart from each other in a way that I wish we never did. I send you message after message on the site we agreed that we would message each other on. Day and months go by and no responses. Years go by and we have grown apart. Messages are left to be responded to months later. Questions are still left unanswered, and I continue to wonder, where did the friendship go?

I honestly do not know where things went wrong as all of my friendships seem to fade away into nothingness. Even to this day, I question if my former roommate and I are still going to be friends. I mean you said we would never lose touch, but we faded away from each others lives. How would history not repeat itself again? I guess that will continue to be a part of my anxiety and nightmares that I wished that I never felt.

I would message you on tumblr (because I found it) but I think we have faded away so much that I think you won't remember me anymore, mostly because I have changed too..

From,

Your Middle School Best Friend Matthew..now Mat…

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.
