To My Former Friend, This Is Where Things Lie Right Now

I have no regrets.

A wise man once said, "All good things must come to an end." It would be the case if our friendship was a good thing. But we both know it wasn't.

I'm not sure when things went downhill, I guess looking back it was going downhill from the very beginning. The moment you introduced yourself I knew you would be trouble for me. But against all odds, I plastered a smile on my face and introduced myself back.

We shared good laughs, good memories, and good conversations. We shared heated debates, tears, and anger as well. But one day everything changed because of you.

Your harsh words for me being an overachiever, your jealousy for still being close to my family, and your disgust for me spending time with people who were not you broke us apart.

I can't have someone so toxic in my life and determined to have my life revolve around them 24/7. My life isn't a game for you to control nor will I bend to your every will and be your toy to pick up and put down as you wish.

Growing up is something everyone needs to do at one point or another. And I feel that you refuse to do it. You refuse to acknowledge what you wrong with you, but openly acknowledge what is wrong with others.

Part of growing up is getting like-minded friends and those who share your interest and can encourage you, and be there for you. None of these qualities you have nor are you interested in having.

I acknowledge I am not perfect nor do I choose to be.

But I acknowledge that I do deserve better as far as friends go.

But at this time re-evaluating our relationship, I made the best decision by ending things where they did.

I hope one day you see it from my point of view.

Sign,

Your former 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.
