It's me, not you.

To My Friends I Lost Contact With Over The Summer

I tend to forget to text some of my friends when I am away from school. It's not that I want to forget about you or don't care but its that I am in my own world when I am at home. Please don't take my lack of contact as a personal issue, because it's me, not you. I don't personally choose to not contact a specific group of friends, it's just that I am just doing my own things and I forget. All of my close friends mean the world to me, I am just not very good at expressing it.

During the summer or school break and vacations, I may not text anyone or maybe just one or two people. That one person may be my best friend and the other may be my boyfriend and that's it. I don't feel the need to be that type of person who texts everyone on my contact list about everything I have been doing. I can be too independent sometimes and forget about the rest of the world. I know I am not very god at replying either and that's only if I don't feel like answering right away or I just don't know what to respond with. I may text someone and I don't really know where to go in the conversation and I kind of just stop talking.

When I am away from school I forget about a lot of things because I am so focused on what I am doing. I know it can be rude to not keep in contact with friends but it's not something I chose to do, but its just who I am. If you ever decide to text me yes I will answer and I will be so glad you decided to contact me. I miss all my friends really I do, Its just that I am not very good at expressing it.

Something I don't really like is long conversations that are basically out of boredom. That's another reason I don't text a lot of people. I like having conversations that are fun and exciting, not us asking each other how our summers are going and then it results in a "yep" repetition. Short and sweet texts are my thing, I like to get to the point and then get on with my day.

Now Snapchat is kind of a different story, I love Snapchat. I don't mind Snapchatting my friends, I think it was a fabulous invention actually. However, I may not always Snapchat you back the second I open yours. Snapchat is fun but it also comes with answering and replying friends and that's not my strongest point. I have lost most of my snap chat best friends because I am bad at getting back to people.

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.
