To The Friend I Left Behind

Remember when we were joined at the hip?

To The Friend I Left Behind

I am so, so sorry.

They always tell you that throughout high school, you lose friends. You rarely go in with the same people you go out with, but for some reason, I thought we'd be able to survive that. We somehow just fell apart, but I take the blame because I barely noticed until we had stopped talking completely.

I got too busy, and then I shut you out. It was not on purpose. Never did I mean to hurt you. Never did I mean to stop paying attention, but my priorities weren't in the right place and you didn't deserve that. Friends don't leave other friends behind, and for that I am truly sorry.

We used to be inseparable. My Timehop is constantly filled with inside jokes no one remembers, and pictures of us; and all of the things we did together come back to me. I get waves of nostalgia now and then, and I realize that you were one of the best friends I ever had, and will ever have. And it breaks my heart, because so much has changed, and these are all things I imagined we'd be doing together.

I know we'll run into each other again some day, and it will be awkward but know this: I am always rooting for you from the sidelines. I check up on your Facebook from time to time, and I see you're doing great things with your life. You are becoming the star I always knew you would be!

I might not be involved in your life, but I am always there if you need me. I'm always there if you need that shoulder to cry on, and that friend that knows you almost as well as you know yourself. I'd like to thank you. For being such a good friend in high school. For being supportive, and caring and loving. For being the kind of friend I didn't deserve at the time.

Thank you, so much.

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.
