An Open Letter To the Ones I've Loved And Lost
Odyssey

Hey there,

It’s probably been a while since we last spoke and I’ve got a lot of things to get off my chest. I think I’ll start by saying sorry. Whether our parting was due to something I had done or something you had done, I’m so sorry. I really wish that hadn’t happened. I’m so sorry if I ever hurt you or if I ever broke your heart to the point where you couldn’t bare to look at me anymore. If you’ve ever broken my heart, I’m sorry for shrugging you off and ignoring all those times you tried to fix it. I’m sorry if the people I love lash out at you out because of what happened between us. I’m really sorry if you think that it’s not okay to speak to me. I’m just sorry it didn’t work out.

I get that things change and sometimes it’s not meant to be, but I still love you. If I ever loved you, I’ll always love you and that’s just the way it is. I’m just sorry and I wish things were different between us. I wish I could change how it all ended up, but I can’t so I just had to apologize.

Now that I’ve stated my piece, I just want you to know that I think a lot and I think everything through. I want you to know that I don’t blame you for any of it. I know that in situations like ours, it’s easy for one person to say it was the others fault and to have bad blood. I think that’s just a waste of time. I’m not one to pretend and I’m all about honesty, so when people ask me about you, I’ll never say anything bad. There may have been a time when, out of anger, I said something I didn’t mean. But I can honestly say that after all this time; I have nothing bad to say. When people ask me about you, I just say that it was a shame that whatever happened, happened. And that I miss you, but life goes on.

The last thing I have to say is thank you. I have never gone through anything like the loss of a loved one. It is probably the worst experience someone can ever go through, and it shaped the person I have become. I am better for it. I thank you for showing me that even if the world comes crashing down around you, you’re still alive. You’re still breathing. No matter how hard life gets, I’m able to push through and I owe it all to you. When people burn you so bad, you have no choice but to pick yourself up and let yourself heal. So thank you, for giving me the opportunity to fix myself and learn me.

I hope you’re doing well and I hope you found your happiness. I wish I could have been a part of it, but I understand why it didn’t work out. I love you and I miss you and I wish you the best. It was a pleasure to have known you, even though it was only for a brief moment in my life. Just know that if you ever need me, I would still answer to your calls. You know where to find me.

Best wishes,

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.

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.
