To The Friends I Lost After High School

An open letter to the friends I lost after high school was over.

To The Friends I Lost After High School

Dear Old Friends,

I'm sorry things didn't work out after high school ended, but it just became exhausting trying to please every one of you when I wasn't happy myself.

Anything I ever said wasn't good enough.

Anything I ever did for you guys just didn't seem to cut it.

We had made so many amazing memories in just the short amount of time within our high school careers we had with each other. The concerts, the parties, the movie and half-off-apps nights, the random adventures out east for ice cream. Everything seemed so perfect;

Until high school was over.

I always think about the memories we made and shared together. I still miss you all no matter what I've said about any of you after we stopped talking. You were all a major part of my life and you'll always have a piece of my heart no matter what. Sometimes I wish we were still stuck in high school, meeting at our lockers and deciding where to go out for lunch rather than all of it just ending because you all changed when we became official alumni.

I'm sorry if I wasn't a great friend to you while we were still in contact.

I'm sorry if you got mad at me for something I said.

I'm sorry if I never asked how you were if you were sad.

I am only human and I can only try to be the best friend a girl can be.

I can never look back at prom or graduation pictures and think, "wow I'm so lucky to have such amazing friends like that in my life."

You're all gone.

Most of you are all away at college and I guess you could say it made the transition easier, but in reality it didn't.

I would wish you all nothing but the best of luck in the years to come and maybe someday we can all work out our differences and reconnect.

Love,

Your Old Best Friend

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.
