A letter To The Best Friend I Fell For

So here it goes, the time I finally pour my heart out to you...

It all started on Christmas break when I texted you that I had feelings for a guy and wanted your advice to handle it. I had always felt like I was able to tell you anything and everything. However, this was not something I felt I should tell you due to the outcome it may come out to. I would never want to freak you out or break our friendship in anyway. So this was unfortunately something I had to keep to myself. You gave me a different kind of feeling when we were together, like comfort and understanding. The more I spent time with you and got to know you, I couldn't help but fall for you and your personality. I tried so hard not to fall for another best friend and I just wanted a buy best friend but the feeling just kept on growing. You constantly hear that saying of guys and girls can't be best friends without feelings getting involved. I have a guy best friend who has a girlfriend so I don't particularly agree with that statement. But me falling for you... It wasn't something I could stop.

I didn't really love a best friend before and for me the queen of feelings that's not normal for me. I usually know when I like someone and never have I started to love a guy I wasn't with. I didn't know I did until you pointed it out when I wrote you that letter. I couldn't look at you after knowing you saw and read every word, I was so embarrassed. I felt like I had lost a best friend and that you would never speak or look at me again. But I had never felt like that towards a friend before so I didn't know what to do. I mean you were one of the most amazing guy friends I have ever had and I never ever wanted to lose that.

The day I was crushed is when you texted me saying you needed to tell me something. A million things were running through my mind and one of them was just hoping you wanted to tell me you loved me too. I was so nervous but also wishing that I would hear you say you felt the same way. But boy was I wrong... I was crushed by the truth that you fell for my best friend, I thought we had so much in common that you would feel the same way I did. I thought that since I got and understood you so well that I would be the one you wanted. But of course I had to keep my head up and a smile on my face, I had to act like I didn't just get completely crushed. You wanted me to try and help you win her and I couldn't deny that. Since I did love you I couldn't think of myself, I only wanted you happy and if you were happy with her then that's all that mattered.

That's not the only worse part either, it was how you said you thought I would make you sad we were together. Because I was outgoing, talkative person that I would make you sad. I hated hearing that you only saw me as a friend while I could only see you as anything but. I tried to think of all the ways we wouldn't work out, but honestly, I couldn't. Al I could think about was how right it would feel to be with someone like you... or just you. You were everything I wanted and needed in a guy, you were perfect and I just wanted you to think the same way about me. I tried to convince myself that maybe someone better is out there for me, but I couldn't. I literally couldn't think of any reason why I wouldn't want to be with you. My feelings only grew stronger and yours only grew stronger for her. I didn't know what to do anymore, other than just give up. You loved her, and I loved you but I couldn't change that.

Nothing upset me more than sitting with my best friend and hear about how much love you gave her and how she didn't like any of it. All I wanted was to be in her shoes and have this perfect wonderful man give me that much love and attention you gave her. I wanted to be that girl you tried to win over, I wanted to be the girl you secretly loved and wanted. But all I could do was keep it all to myself, you wouldn't care that I was the girl falling for you. You were too busy falling for her and I had to be the best friend who helped and supported you.

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.
