To the Friends Who Said Goodbye

You will always have a place in my heart.

To the Friends Who Said Goodbye
Hallie Langley

Hey friends, it’s me again. I really should say, hey old friends, because this letter is to those friends who I no longer talk to or have been absent in my life for whatever reason. You guys aren’t forgotten. All the memories we share are still stored in my head and sometimes when I lay down to go to sleep, I think about you and hope that you are doing well and are happy and healthy. And if you aren’t, I pray you are able to change that and are able to see that you have the power to make yourself happy.

I have to be honest and say that for most of you, I wish you were still in my life because I want to hear about all the great things you may have going on or even just be there for you if you need it. I wish I could feel okay about just shooting you a text and asking how you are doing, but I know that won’t really do anything but cause more problems.

For those who chose to walk out of my life, for whatever reason, I miss you guys too. So many of you have left in negative ways, and I want to say sorry, but I won’t really mean it. Don’t get me wrong, I know it takes two people to fight. but I have already taken responsibility for what I have done, you have not. If you had we may be talking now, or not, I’m a different person now. Not that you would know because you stopped trying to be my friend. If you want to know who I am now, then you are welcome to try and be my friend, but I won’t be pushed around like I did in the past. Like I said, I’m a different person, and you must get to know that person.

To those who I walked away from, I am sorry. I mean that. I know I walked away for various reasons and not all of them made sense to you, but they made sense to me. Maybe someday in the future I can try and be your friend and repair the damage I caused. But, again that would take two people as well because both people have to take responsibility for their actions.

Really, the point to this letter is to apologize to those I hurt and to hopefully speak to those who hurt me that I am really still here for you. But I won’t stand to be walked all over. It takes two people fight, to fall out, to give up and sometimes it was me. but other times it was you.

I also want you to know that even if you aren’t my friend I’ll still be here for you because at one point you were my friend, and I still care about you. I want you to know that you have the power to change your future into whatever you want it to be, it won’t always be easy and it will often times be scary but that’s what makes life interesting. But, wherever you are I want you to be happy and healthy and I want you to make the most of life in the best ways.

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.
