The Paths That Never Crossed Again

Our friendship wasn't destined to last forever

The Paths That Never Crossed Again
Denny Civic Solutions

It's crazy how close you can be with some people. You know each other like the back of your hand. You finish each others sentences. You spend every minute you can with each other. When certain songs come on, they were your songs. The songs you two belted out while on the way to the mall or to grab some lunch. You had a common place where you always met and you thought you guys were always meant to be sisters, not best friends.

But then over time, you gain different goals in life. You start down a new, intriguing path and they stay on the same, old path that you two once walked. After awhile your paths may run parallel, but usually not. Yours tends to go in a separate direction due to all the turns and loops, taking you further and further from their path.

You both experience new things, find new friends, and find new common places. When you later think about it, you see how much life has changed. Not only yours, but theirs. You listen to different songs. Your friends don't resemble them at all. You are studying in school and they aren't. You wind up in two totally different places even though at one point you were in the same exact spot.

You lose them. You lose track of them from all the stresses of life and how busy you are. You put in the effort to see each other, but it never works out. And you two are now totally different people and your paths don't cross anymore. Maybe it's for the best, but deep down you still think about them when that one song comes on. They cross your mind, but not your path. But then again, maybe it was destined to be that way after all.

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.
