Here's To The Friend Who Walked Away

So, just know, I forgive you for walking away and you will always have a place in my heart.

Here's To The Friend Who Walked Away
Amy Ruschen

Dear Best Friend,

I wish you the best - I honestly do. No matter where we end up in life, I will always have nothing but happiness for you. I will have nothing but love for you and positive things to say about you. I will be in your corner for all walks of life. Even if you don't do the same... Even if you walk away and never look back...

I spent years building a friendship with you, we made memories, we said we would be "friends forever." After several years, you walked away from all of that and you haven't looked back. We had a tiny little fight and you gave up, but I still think about you everyday.

I hope that you are successful in all areas of life. I am rooting for you to achieve your goals and live out your dreams. I wish you the best in your relationships and new friendships.

So, just know, I forgive you for walking away and you will always have a place in my heart.

There is not a day the goes by that I don't miss you and wish that you would pick up the phone and talk to me. I see what you have been up to on your social media from time to time. I look through old pictures of us and hold tight to those memories. I really try not to be bitter and hateful to you for walking away. I pray for you daily and I pray that we can somehow fix what has been broken.

We used to talk about having kids together, drinking wine on a random Wednesday night, going on trips together, and always having each others backs. We planned out the next ten years of our friendship - and now that is all gone. But, I do have this to say to you: I still hope you enjoy becoming a mother and that you get to have wine nights whenever you please. I hope that you find the joy of traveling all over the world. Most importantly, I hope that you have someone to be there for you when you fall, someone to support you, love you, and have your back one hundred and ten percent.

You have moved on, made new friends, and left me in the dust. It's hard for me and I wish I could rewind to the way it was. Whatever happened between us changed our friendship. Maybe I made a mistake, I dropped the ball, I hurt you, and I apologized. You did with that apology what you pleased -- But it wasn't what I expected. Whatever lead us to go our separate ways hasn't been mended and you show no signs of wanting to mend it. You shut me out and disconnected with me. I understand that you were hurt and now I am hurting too -- I will let you be and root for you from afar.

When the time comes, that you MIGHT want to talk, I will be here. IF you come back around, I will welcome you with open arms. We will have a lot of things to work through, but just know that you are worth it. The memories I made with you are worth the work to fix this beacuse I love you, friend.

Love,

The Friend That Won't Give Up On You Yet

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.
