To The Person That Didn't Make It To This Chapter

This letter is for anyone that came into my life, and didn't quite make it to the next chapter...

~ I want to thank you for making me a better person in some ways. I want to thank you for always making me laugh and telling me jokes. I'll forever cherish all of our memories, good and bad, our beautiful days, and our ugly days. You will forever have a piece of me, and I, you.~

At one point in time you were my best friend. You were the one that I told everything too; from the weird looks someone gave to me, or the serious stuff like when I found out I was moving away. We did everything together. We were inseparable and obnoxiously annoying to others, what could be better?

But, along with our good times, came our bad times. The times we fought, and didn't talk for days. When everything became about you, rather than asking how I was.

It turned into a one sided friendship that I could no longer be apart of.

I grew out of my old skin and into someone who has grown up, physically and mentally. I will not just let people walk all over me like a doormat, when after all this time I've been the one holding the door open for them. For awhile I didn't know that I could let the door go, and keep moving forward. I just continued to hold the door open for people who didn't even deserve it.

I stood there with that door open for years and not once did I ever receive a thank you, or any appreciation. You walked right through that door and trashed everything. You made me realize that not everyone is good, and kind hearted. You made me realize that I don't need people who don't need me, someone that appreciates me and my friendship.

So, it's okay that you didn't make it to this chapter in my life. You've already made this chapter better, by not being in it. This chapter is everything it's supposed to be because your time in my life ran short. You taught me how to improve in the future and you taught me how to be even kinder than before. So, thank you for that.

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.
