A Letter to the Friend I've Reconnected With

Sometimes things in life make friendships hard to keep, but the feeling of them returning is one that is hard to describe.

A Letter to the Friend I've Reconnected With
Liyana

Hello person!

It's been a while since you and I spoke; years, actually. Yet, here you are! After years of silence you come back into my life, and I am so forever grateful. I wish that we had never lost touch. Especially over the things that we lost touch for. You were my best friend for so long, and then you slipped away. Yet, here you are.

Your return has filled a void I hadn't realized existed, and the best part is that it doesn't feel like you were ever gone. Sure, there's a time difference. We're not kids anymore, and our games and toys have been traded in for cell phones and jobs, but I'm still me and you're still you.

We still like going to the movies together, and having late night talks; we both still like to watch the stars and wonder what it would be like if we lived in a different place, or a different time. Things haven't changed much. You even introduced me to your new friends, so that we could all spend time together. They're pretty cool people too, and I'm so glad you did.

Your presence in my life makes me so full of happiness, and our laughter is something I can't take lightly. You're special to me and always have been. We've shared laughs, tears, frustrations, and even food, which is something else that we can do without feeling the least bit uncomfortable.

I'm writing all of this because I want you to know how special you are, and how I am so happy that you're back. I am so happy that after the fights and the distance that you're here, and that you're still willing to spend time with me; that we can act like nothing ever happened and we can revert back to our middle school days when we both loved to sit with each other and do nothing but talk or read or whatever we felt like that day.

I'm so glad you're back.

Signed,

Your 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.
