To The Person That I Thought I Knew

Who knew we'd end up like this.

To The Person That I Thought I Knew

I don't know who to address this letter to anymore because you are not the person that I thought you were. It sucks that it took me a couple of years to figure that out, but better late than never, right?

First, I want to say thank you. Thank you for all of the memories that we made together. We had some really fun times together and we made some memories that I will always hold on to. I'm thankful for all of the pictures because they never change, even when the people in them do. I'm thankful for all the mistakes we made together because that meant that we learned a lesson together. I enjoyed all of those times and having you by my side. I was your sidekick, and I thought that things would be like that forever. Obviously, I was wrong; I was wrong about a lot of things.

Secondly, I want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that we don't talk. I'm sorry that we don't make all of the memories that we thought we would. After graduation, we still talked so much and we told each other everything. I'm sorry that you changed and that I changed and that it happened so fast. Life changes and things don't always go the way that you planned them to. The fact that we haven't had a real conversation in months hurts me but if you cared, you would've tried to make things right by now. You would've told me that you were sorry and the fact that you didn't makes everything a lot more real.

I really thought that I knew who you were. You were one of my best friends, but everything changed so quickly. We didn't talk as much. You stopped answering my texts, without even explaining why. You didn't even feel like you owed me an explanation. And then things blew up and you said stuff that I hope made you feel better. I really do hope it made you feel better.

I don't hate you but I don't like who you've become, and I guess that is not up to me. Someday our paths might cross again, but until then, I hope you have a good life. I hope that all of your dreams come true and that your life becomes what you wanted it to be. I hope you work on yourself and become who you want to be because, in the end, that's all that matters-- your happiness. Best of luck.

Until we meet again,

Me

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.
