An Open Letter To My Too Far Away Friends

To my ladies that I left 3 years ago...

An Open Letter To My Too Far Away Friends
Colleen Staudenmaier

I have to start with saying thank you. When I started this journey to Colorado I never realized just how much I would miss all of you. On days when I’m sitting in my room wanting something to do I think back to all of you and the immediate response when I ask to go on an adventure and you appease me on my trip to the store, or to get food, or to just ride around to amuse me. I always look for the friends that will be willing to do the same thing but unfortunately not everyone else understands my need for random bits of love like you all do and have for so many years.

I love that now I get to come home and for some reason it is like I haven’t even left. We get together and talk and eat candy while having a movie night and it is like we haven’t all moved in different directions. We tell stories about our lives and talk drama about what is still going on at home, but we are all just as close.

I can’t wait to continue our friendship into our future, even if I will probably be moving around a lot more than all of you, just know that there is always a place for you in my house. You helped me when I was young when I needed to get all of the difficult times and now we are becoming adults, thinking about marriage and kids (well at least all of you) and getting our own houses. I can’t imagine my future without all of you in it.

Always remember that I love you and miss you and can’t wait to see you again.

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.
