An Open Letter To My Former Best Friend

Dear Stranger,

Hello… It’s me.

OK, all jokes aside, I miss you. I hope you’re doing well. We’ve parted ways, as many relationships do over a lifetime, and that’s OK. I’m not going to try chasing our friendship, as I've already tried for many months after we got not-so-close anymore. Because it’s OK, I’m fine, and so are you. We have grown up together, and that is the gift you have given me. You helped me become who I am today. So, thank you. Small things here and there will always remind me of you, and that’s the beauty of memories. Every once in a while I will Snapchat you those throwback memories, and we will have a small conversation about how we miss each other, and that will be it. I thought for sure we would continue growing up together, have a million more memories added to our thousands, make speeches at our weddings, be each other's kids’ third parent, and grow old together in a 55+ home. You’re a different person now, as so am I. And that's fine. It really is. I will wonder how you're doing from time to time, and check up on you on social media, and even text you on a random Wednesday afternoon when I remember something. If we run into each other one day, you know we will still be very happy to see each other, and catch up almost as good as the old times, because once you're best friends with someone, it never really diminishes, and that's the beauty of best friendship and I will cherish that forever with you.

I will always cherish our memories.

Sincerely,

Your Former Best Friend

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
