An Open Letter To A Friend Gone Too Soon

We will never forget you

An Open Letter To A Friend Gone Too Soon
Rebecah Woody

My Best Friend,

I miss you. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I think of all the great memories we shared throughout your short life. All of our memories were special and will always hold a place in my heart. I didn't realize how precious our time spent together was until it was too late.

This world wasn't ready for you. It wasn't ready for your hilarious jokes and your insane sarcasm. Your sass and your awesome advice will never be forgotten. All of us miss you dearly, and I can honestly say that it never gets any easier. I replay the hurtful things I said to you over and over again, and take for granted the extra time I could have spent with you.

We were all going to go on a road trip after graduation, and now you're on your own road trip in the big blue sky. I bet you are up there having the time of your life. I know you are much better off with your wings and your halo, but I would give anything for you to come back just for one day. I just want one more day to be able to spend time with you and tell you all the eventful things that have happened since you've been gone.

I know you're still here though. You're watching over me, our friends, and your family. I know you're always here even if I can't see you.

I think the hardest part for me was actually realizing you were gone. I could not believe that one of my four best friends was gone, and that our time together came to an end. I know one day we will meet again and we will be able to gossip and talk about the good times we had and the many more we will continue to make. It never gets easier and I will never forget you. You made such a huge impact on my life and made me who I am today. I'll always remember you and the times we spent together.

All Of My Love,

Your Friend

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.
