Dear Friend,

My time with you was too short. Our relationship was just being to grow. And then your life was taken away from you. My sweet friend, you were too young, full of life, and left too early.

Dear friend, the first time I met you I knew there was a sparkle about you. You lit up a room as soon as you entered it. Your smile was contagious, spreading ear to ear. Friend, you made me smile, and everyone else who was around you.

Sweet friend, getting to know you was a treat. We learned about each others families, each others friends, interest, and passions. You told me about your culture, and I listened to every word intrigued how you told stories about your life. You told me about your future life plans, and I was excited for you. My friend, I knew you would of been successful with those plans.

My friend, our time together was too short. I only knew you for a limited amount of time, but you impacted me. You allowed me to open up to you, and you did the same to me. Our time together was full of laughter, surrounded by loving people, all enjoying each others company.

Lovely friend, your life was taken too soon. You had many things you wanted too accomplish. I still had many things to ask you, and time gone I wanted to spend with you. Friend, although your time on this earth was short, it will not be forgotten.

So friend, I now look at the sky and know you are watching over your family, you friends, and protecting us. You know have a bigger purpose in a better place, and you guide the ones left behind. Friend, you will never be forgotten, but celebrated. Celebrated for your smile, you outlook on life, your positive attitude, and your passion.

As I continue onward without you my friend, I will look to you for strength, and take that sparkle I noticed the first time I met you wherever I go with me.

Love,

Your Friend.

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.
