An Open Letter To My Ex Best Friend

An Open Letter To My Ex Best Friend
pintrest

First off, I want to say I am sorry. I am sorry for screwing up, for not being there enough for you, and also going away to college. I can't help but wonder maybe if I didn't go a hundred miles away to college maybe we would still be friends.

I honestly really do miss you and I hope that we can fix this hole that we are in and maybe start over. You are the only person who truly understood me. For the first month after you told me we weren't friends anymore, every time someone said your name I would start to tear up because all of our memories would come rushing back to me. Our ship has sailed and I do believe that we are no longer friends for a reason.

A few reminders, though, as we go our separate ways. I will always be here for you if you need me. Yes, I call someone else my best friend now but that does not mean I'v completely replaced you because there is only one you and I could never do that to you. Yes, you hurt me with that text message but I am over it now. I just hope you don't decide to walk back into my life after all of these months and pretend like we are back to being best friends. I would love to be able to call you my friend again but the best friend card has been revoked and is unable to be redeemed by you again.

I have changed in the past couple of months. I know "people don't ever change" but I did. I know I will eventually see you around and I at least hope you recognize my existence with a simple hand wave or a head nod. I miss you practically living at my house and when you weren't here, I was at your house or we were out on an adventure.

It is really weird not having your name on my phone everyday, 24/7 but it is alright. I got used to being my own best friend at times when I needed one. It is hard when you go from calling each other best friends to saying "who is that?" when someone brings you up. You are the only person I could go on a rant about literally anything and you may not have always understood but you would always go on the rant with me. I loved that.

Before I say my last words to you I want you to know I still love you more than life itself and if you ever need me, you have my number, and my address just show up. I miss calling you my best friend but everything happens for a reason, I just wish I knew what the reason for this was. Our ship has sailed and sank. I hope you find a better best friend who actually knows how to be a best friend to you. Normally, I would say this is a see you later because goodbye means forever. This is my goodbye.

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.

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.
