An Open Letter to My Ex-Best Friend

I wish you the best.

An Open Letter to My Ex-Best Friend
me

Dear Former Best Friend,

This isn't a letter to bash you or our friendship. It is more of me accepting that we are no longer friends and a way for me to finally vocalize my feelings about everything.

I genuinely hope you have found new friends that understand you better than I could. I hope they sing along in the car with you to all your favorite songs. You deserve the friends that love and care about you. I hope you have friends that are better fitted to what your dreams and goals are in life now.

We used to be best friends. The kind of best friends that did everything together and were always together every weekend. We stood up for each other no matter what the circumstances were. We helped each other with anything and everything. You were always there for me.

For that I thank you. Thank you for your friendship. For the endless laughs and jokes when we were together. Thank you for loving and accepting me no matter what happened or what I told you. Thank you for the time we were each other's best friend.

We got into a fight, I don't even remember what happened.. But we haven't been the same since. Between moving and making new friends after the fight we drifted apart. We had grown so much together, but eventually we grew apart ad stopped talking all together.

I was so angry at first. I never hated you, I could never hate you. But I was so angry at the situation and at how we ended our friendship. I was angry at the rumors and at how much I still missed you. But I am not angry anymore. I have realized people grow apart and everything in life is a lesson and it all happens for a reason.

I apologize for how I acted during all of this. And I apologize for any ill will you may still feel. I know you may never need me again, but my door is always open if you need anything.

I genuinely wish you the best in your future endeavors and with everything in your life. I have just realized I cannot keep worrying about you as a best friend would when we aren't that anymore.

Love,

Your ex-best 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.
