To The Girl Who Was My Temporary Best Friend

Thank you for being my other half even if it was for a short few months.

To The Girl Who Was My Temporary Best Friend

It has been a while since I got to call you my best friend and I don’t know if I will ever get the chance again. I don’t regret our friendship nor do I wish you anything but happiness. I realized throughout life that not every best friend will be there forever and to be honest, I am okay with that. When I see you, I still smile and wave because I appreciate everything that you have done for me. Though our friendship has died down, I feel like we stand on common ground. Our friendship didn’t last forever like we thought it might but our memories I will always cherish.

I remember there was a time when you knew everything about me and I knew everything about you. We knew each other's secrets and to the end of time, I will keep those secrets to myself. We did everything together, even going to the bathroom. I truly loved every second we had together because you were my best friend. We shared laughs and food, using the same plate might I add. Thank you for being my other half even if it was for a short few months.

You are amazing. Our friendship didn’t end with a fight or even sadness. We mutually split ways without even realizing it. Text messages became shorter and before you knew it, they were nonexistent. Some people would be bitter or perhaps fight harder to keep the friendship alive but maybe I appreciated the time we had instead of regretting the time we didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I would be on your side in a heartbeat but for now I will love you from a distance. Though our friendship ended not too far after it begun, I feel like one day we will laugh together once again. It just wasn’t our time.

I do hope your happy. I see your Instagram posts and don’t worry, I like every single one of them. Your smiling and laughing which I couldn’t be happier. I know the girl in the picture is your new best friend and I’m not even jealous or envious. I hope she realizes how great you are and that you get to impact her life the way you impacted mine. She is one lucky girl to have a spot in your heart and I would only hope you would feel the same way about my new friends. We moved on and took two separate trains that went in two opposite directions. I want you to enjoy every second of life, making memories that will last a lifetime. I know that is what I will be doing.

So, yes. Our friendship though temporary has impacted my life more than you can imagine, in a good way of course. I do miss you sometimes but who wouldn’t, you are amazing. We had our share of moments that will last a lifetime but I think it's time to live our lives separately. Not all friendships are meant to last forever though those short months felt like years. I will always love you and wish you the best. You were my temporary best friend; I feel temporary is better than not knowing you at all. I wish you the world.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
