To The Girl Whose Best Friend Just... Left

Best friend heartbreak... It's the worst.

Greg Raines

I know what you're going through. You feel like the one person you could depend on the most has chosen to simply leave you behind. No one deserves that, but you are going to be OK.

Try to remember that this isn't your fault.

Chances are if you're feeling sad about having lost your best friend, you were more than a friend worth having. Don't try to count the reasons for this. Sometimes, people decide to go their own way and choose not to look back.

No one deserves loss without even a single reason.

Don't be afraid to make new friends. It's hard to trust when your trust has been broken, especially when it's been broken by the one person who you thought you could count on. It might take some trial and error, and you might not feel like you've found the person to replace her, but try to focus on surrounding yourself with positive people.

Try to face the truth, for you.

Maybe you feel painfully alone. You probably feel angry, confused, and sad. In the end, remember to applaud yourself for the effort you gave your estranged friendship. Accept the fact that your best friend was unwilling to reciprocate. Appreciate the good times and don't be afraid to remember the positive memories, but move on so that you can be better and happier. The last thing you want to do is force a friendship that exists in the past. You will end up hurt more in the end.

Healing does take time.

No matter what you do, you will need time to heal. Losing your best friend is undeniably bound to leave you with a broken heart. After all, this is the person who has promised to be there when everyone else falls short. Focus on yourself to heal. Do your favorite things. Be your own best friend for a while. Take a break from social media and pursue something new. Regaining trust doesn't happen overnight, but you will do it eventually.

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.
