Friends, or not-so-friends anymore

An Open Letter To The Friends I've Lost
Huffpost

Hi friends, well maybe not really friends anymore...

You come to a point in your life where things need to change. You cannot keep doing the same thing over and over; things need to change, you change.

Over the years, we've spent so much time together; who would've though that only a few months into college we would all be so different? However, here I am, different but you are still the same. It is okay to change, you need to change. Change is good. But when I change and mature and you don't, it becomes catastrophic.

I'm sorry guys, I love you from the bottom of my heart but too much is different. You may be older, and in your second year of college but it gets to a point when I realize that I am no longer in high school and that things have to change. I have moved out, I live at college. It is on myself to make sure I do adult things everyday like eating, laundry, and cleaning. Yes, I receive phone calls from my mom and dad as a reminder, but it is not the same. I needed to grow up and change to fit my surrounding and new lifestyle.

I really do miss you, you were my best friends, my go-to, but I've realized that sometimes you need to let go when the pull is too strong. Thank you for the fun times and all the memories, but you are gone now. I remember the late night, silly adventures, but the thing is they are in the past and so are you. Sadly, like many people I know from high school, you never left; all the drama that happened still rules your life, when there are bigger and better things in life than high school. There are so many better and new times to have, sadly that is without you guys. So thank you for the memories, I know we don't talk anymore but I hope you are alright and if you ever need anything I am here. We don't need to talk every day like we used to, but I'm not kicking you to the curb, I cared about you and still do no matter what. If you ever need anything, I'm here for you. Until then, have a nice life.

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.
