To The Girl Who Can't Leave Me Alone

The girl that just can't seem to leave me alone. She used to be my best friend.

To The Girl Who Can't Leave Me Alone

The girl that just can't seem to leave me alone. She used to be my best friend. She used to be the friend that I would go for anything. If I had a bad day, I went to her. If I was excited and happy, I went to her. Things change. People change. Times change. It's not my fault that I grew up and faced reality and she didn't. It's not my fault that I don't like the person she is anymore. It's not my fault that I don't enjoy her company anymore. I don't have to apologize for this, because it isn't my fault or hers. With this being said, I don't understand why she still has such a big interest in my life and my whereabouts.

It is okay to grow apart. It is okay to not be friends with your best friend anymore. It is okay to dislike them a little bit because you are no longer in their life and you miss them. It is NOT okay to talk badly about them every chance you get. It is NOT okay to have people check to see if I am where I say I am. It is NOT okay to be blatantly rude to me when I try to make small talk. If you didn't want to talk to me, then why are you near me? Talking about one of our mutual friends?

I just get so annoyed and upset because it is not my fault that we are not friends anymore. It is not my fault that you left me in the dust for your boyfriend. It just bothers me that someone that used to me so close to me would knowingly hurt me over and over again by making negative comments. Why does it matter if I'm at work, Why does it matter if I'm home? Is it really your business? If we are no longer friends, why is my life any of your concern? I just don't understand how someone can be so concerned with how I'm spending my time if we are no longer friends.

I just want to be left alone. Leave me and my choices alone. I am not your concern. I am not your friend. I am not your acquaintance. We are too far gone to ever be as close as we were again. I can't help that. Neither can you. I'm sorry. I shouldn't feel bad. I do, though. Again, people change. Times change. Things change. That's just how it is.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
