To My Not-So-Best Friend

I hope you know that I'll still be yours.

To My Not-So-Best Friend
Ashley Chere' Quintela

Do you remember all the pictures we used to take? The ones from our vacation to the beach and our random 3 am Walmart trips? I do. I see them every day because I can't bring myself to take them down. I love them because it reminds me of how much we needed each other. Maybe I keep them up because in a way, I still do.

It's been a while since we've talked and I was hoping I'd get used to not having you in my life by now, but it's like they say, old habits die hard. It seems like every funny story starts with us. Sometimes I forget that I can no longer say "My best friend and I." Ouch.

I've had a lot of good experiences since we stopped talking, but there's always a part of me that wishes you could have shared in that excitement. There are so many things I wish I could tell you, including how much I miss our friendship because it was my favorite one.

I miss having sleepovers every Friday, even if you made me watch "Halloween." I miss going to IHOP with you just so you could get your butter pecan syrup, randomly breaking out into "High School Musical" songs, and wasting countless hours on YouTube.

Sometimes people ask me how you are doing, and the sad truth is that I have no idea. I hope you're doing well, even if you don't have space me for anymore. I hope you've found someone who laughs at your puns as much as I did and someone who picks the peas out of your rice for you when you're acting like a total diva.

I may not be able to call you my best friend anymore, but I hope you know that I'll still be yours.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
