The Friendship That Just Wasn't Meant to Be.

Friendship is a beautiful thing, isn't it? Being able to have that person who you go to, confide in, and love. I never felt so close to another human being ever in my life, and I am grateful for the many memories that we shared. When you find someone who understands you completely and loves you despite your flaws, that's something that you do not let go of. I never imagined life without you and even though you had imperfections, I never walked away from you. Not once. But, it appeared that the friendship was one-sided since you condemned me for mine. My honesty; my bluntness. I said the things that you didn't want to hear. The things you didn't want to accept. I guess you couldn't handle that. At the end of the day, I was only trying to help you do better. I did all of those things out of love.

I cared for you more than anyone else ever did, but you didn't see that. All of your rough relationships, I was the one that was there to talk to and comfort you. When you were crying over your depression or your struggles, I was there to love you. In your darkest times, I tried to be your light. To guide you, to make you feel safe. I wanted you to feel important.

Maybe I should have been more tender with you. Perhaps I should have just hidden my inner feelings. But, in my eyes, that's not being a true friend. Friendship is honest, friendship is raw, and I refuse to sugar coat things. There are times to be delicate, but I believe that there are times where you need to be blunt with the things you say. Maybe this makes me an awful person, who knows.

Someday, I will find a friend who appreciates my honesty, as well as my love. And maybe one day, you will look back and realize exactly what you lost. I am not begging you to come back, nor do I expect you to, but you need to see this through my eyes. That is all I really want. I guess when it comes down to it, it doesn't really matter.

So, you have gone your way and I have gone mine. Looking at you now, it's almost like looking at a stranger. It just goes to show that there's a fine line between love and hate. I knew the moment it all came crashing down, that there was no turning back. With the passing of time, I have become okay with that. At the end of the day, I do want to see you happy and successful and I want you to find a best friend that better suits you as a person. You will do great in life and I wish you the best of luck in your future. Even though I will not be a part of it.

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.
