To The Girl Who Used To Be My Best Friend

Fool me once, shame on you

To The Girl Who Used To Be My Best Friend

Dear you,

First, I would like to say, I'm glad you're not in my life anymore. Second, saying that we were best friends is probably one of the biggest lies you ever told. Last, how dare you judge me when all I ever did was have your back.

From the time we went through formal recruitment together last spring, until this spring, we grew really close and I thought I was doing a good thing by taking you under my wing. I guess I was wrong. You were there for me when I had my worst anxiety attack, by far, and I couldn't be more thankful for that. I was there when you found out your dad had cancer. Instead of you crying and feeling sad, I cried and was sad because no girl wants to hear that their dad has cancer.

I should have known something was wrong with you when you didn't cry over your dad, and when I offered to take you home and you said no because he needed to deal with this on his own. But I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and chalked it up to you hurting on the inside.

You see, the thing is I'm not angry because we aren't friends anymore. I'm more than happy that we aren't friends anymore what I'm furious about is that I let you in to my world and you took it for granted. Without me, you wouldn't have met half the people that you knew, and you would probably still be in your shell with only one person being your friend at school. I'm most angry at what you said to me when you ended our friendship.

I never did anything to you for you to call me the "B" word. You're actually lucky I wasn't on campus at the time you texted me that because you definitely would have ended up with my hand going across your face and me feeling no remorse for doing it.

You had stupid elementary school reasons for not being friends with me. You ended our friendship over me being indecisive when, in reality, you couldn't make your mind up on what guy you wanted to be with. You kept sleeping with a guy who had a girlfriend, and treated you like crap for reasons I don't remember -- nor do I care to -- but if that's not indecisive then I don't know what is. Besides, I thought it was a girl's right to be indecisive, especially since we're in college and we haven't even started living our lives yet.

You were more judgmental than anyone I ever met when you had no reason to because your life is more messed up than mine and all of my true friends combined. I brought you into my house, and from the time we went down my driveway till the time we left, you had a disgusted look on your face. I guess those reasons will never be known because 98 percent of the time people don't want to leave my house.

Don't think you'll ever get any sympathy out of me for anything, ever again. It's one thing to end a friendship, but it's another thing to end it in a petty way and end it because you're jealous.

Sincerely,
The girl who shouldn't have taken you under her wing.

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.
