To the Friend Who Ghosted Me

A letter to someone who I once considered to be my closest friend

To the Friend Who Ghosted Me

Dear old friend,

It was nice to spend time with you while we had it. Laughing our asses off while listening to 90's nostalgia music on the way to the club on Friday nights. Getting into heated discussions over the upcoming presidential debate. Despite our vastly opposing views, we still managed to make it work. Remember when you told me about your new girlfriend for the first time? How excited you were to call her yours? Yeah, me too.

Taco date nights with apple cider whiskey was a high point. We sat and laughed about everything. You slowly became one of my best friends and I opened up to you. For me, that's not something I'm normally comfortable with. But you already knew that.

Sitting on campus for hours doing homework seemed like minutes and no homework would ever get done. I opened up to you and was at home. Slowly but surely, you were my "go to" friend. You were the first to know when I passed my Spanish exam & got my internship. You were the first person I told that I had feelings for my best friend. I trusted your judgement.

You convinced me to have a party and swore you'd come decorate the house with me. You were so excited to hang out and have a good time. But you never showed up. You never texted me to let me know you weren't going to come. You just disappeared.

I texted you and asked if you wanted to get dinner later that week. There was no response. I waited and waited to hear from my friend and slowly, you vanished.

I know you're okay, because I see your posts show up on my wall from time to time. I know that you're doing well and that you're happy with your new girlfriend. I'm stuck here to believe that you got busy with your new girl and forgot all about me.

I wish you all the best,

Your old 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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
