An Open Letter To Somebody That I Used To Know
Serving Joy

Dear *Insert Name Here*:

Where do I even start? Let me start by saying this: you are somebody that I used to know. You may have been out of my life for more than a short period of time, but you are out of my life for a reason. So, if we shared intimate moments or a really good friendship, it ended for a good reason.

It may have ended by a falling out, a lack of interest, or our personalities clashing in some weird and obnoxious way. You are somebody that I used to know for this one reason: I am better off without you in my life. all the anxiety I experienced, the emotions I faced during our falling outs, and worst of all not trusting you to be there for me when I needed you the most. I put so much effort into our bond, but it felt like you never did the same. Forgetting important dates, getting upset for the little things, but I didn't realize any of this until you were gone.

For some of the people who fall into the category of "somebody that I used to know" it took me a few hours to a week to figure why I am better off without people like yourself. I always felt as if I was melting away into a different person along with getting distracted from what I want to make my life and how I want to impact people in this world. I removed you and others' off my social media for a reason, I don't talk to you for a reason, but when it comes to this kind of thing you and I will never speak again.

If we encounter each other in the future I will watch what I say, I will not let my guard down, but I will not let you back into my life because I have better things to do with my life. I will forever be nice to anyone that I have let go of, but I will not let you into my personal space 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.
