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,

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
