I Wish I Had More Time With You, Friend

A Letter To My Friend

Dear Friend,

I wish I could do more to make you feel better. I consider you my friend, but we are not really close. I am trying to get to know you, and I am trying to discover all of your quirks, hobbies, and interests. I know a majority of long-lasting friendships form after spending quite a lot of time together. However, I think time is the issue in this case. The fact that you will leave soon, because you are off to bigger and better things makes me excited for you, but I also feel sad. As I am writing this, I find difficulty in even thinking about you leaving.

I want you to feel happy, and I really do not like it when I can sense that you are being tormented by something. I am trying to be your friend – someone who is willing to make your day the brightest even when I am in the middle of a dark storm. You are not willing to let go of the pain that was caused by other people – people whom you thought you could trust. I understand that, which is why I am not trying to force our friendship. You might also just be super shy or introverted. However, I kind of don’t believe you’re really shy. I remember the day when I first spoke with you. You were helping me out with some Chemistry. Perhaps it was your warmth or sense of humor that made me feel so comfortable around you. I hope you realize that you are extremely special and that you deserve the whole world that was rightfully given to you from the beginning.

Remember that God is slow to anger and that He loves you. He promises to give you everything that you ask for as long as you give your life to Him. Time is flying by, but I want you know that I will always be praying for you. There is still some time left, but I sense that I may not have enough of it. Even if the time required for our friendship to form runs out, I have faith that God has a good future planned out just for you. I hope we cross paths in the near future – not just so that we could catch up but also so that I could make you laugh with my British/Irish accents and cat/duck noises.

Sincerely,

Your 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.
