Yes, I Have An Ex Best Friend, And No I Don't Thank Her For The 'Good Times'

We used to be so close. We used to stay the night at each others house. We used to do each others hair and make up. We used to go out and do things together. I remember when we first met at school- I was a new student. I didn't know anyone. We starting talking and getting to know each other. We got super close. Our families treated the other as their own. We were inseparable. There were times where we would fight but that didn't change the fact that we were best friends. We practically lived together.

You started to treat me like I was more of a option. You pushed me away. You became really selfish. There were times when I needed you more than ever but you wouldn't answer my calls or text. There were times that I would be worried about you and you wouldn't respond. Sometimes I would feel as if you were even really my "best friend". I was always there when you needed a shoulder to cry on. I was always there when things weren't right. I always put you before I put myself. Best friends are supposed to be supportive but you weren't.

I got pregnant and had a baby, but you weren't around for me to tell. You were the second person, next to your father, that I was gonna tell. The day of my baby shower, you made all excuses. The day I had her, you didn't even bother to see if she was healthy and happy. I got into a school and wanted to tell you. But when you got into a school, I was so excited for you. Things were always about you. If things didn't go your way, then it would be hell. I have yet to realize why you were such a so-called "good friend".

I don't thank you for any of the good times because you showed me your true colors. But I do want to thank you for showing me how much I needed to move on from a friend like you. Now, that we aren't friends my life has been so much happier and clearer. I now have more time to spend with my family and the friends who never turned their back. I have found peace without you in my life. I unfriended you from everything because it is no longer about you, it is now about me! I am happy with where my life is today- without you.

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.
