Thank you for everything you did for me.

There are so many things I could say, so many questions I could ask if I got the chance, but instead I will just say thank you. I have no resentment to you at all. You did what you had to do what was best for you and that's okay. We were going down different paths in life and wanted different things. There was no possible way for both of us to get what we wanted. We grew apart and it was time to go our separate ways, it was time to walk away.

First off I want to say thank you for putting up with me. I will be the first person to admit I am not the easiest person in the world to put up with. And you did, you did it so well to be honest. You put up with me being rude, not having a filter, being indecisive and unsure, and everything else.

Thank you for teaching me how to open up to people again. For so long I shut so many people out, people that wanted to get to know me. But you wouldn't let me do that to you. You weren't rude about it you just slowly got me to open up to you some how and to be honest I'm not really sure how you even did that. You made me feel comfortable letting you into my world.

Thank you for so many memories. There are so many memories that I will never forget from late night talks to random adventures. We had a lot of fun together. Those are memories that I could never have with anyone else because no one else is quite like you and I.

Thank you for being my best friend. You were one of my best friends for sure. Everyone comes into your life for a reason. You had a reason for coming into my life but you couldn't stay in my life and thats okay. Thank you for the short amount of time you were in my life though.

Thank you for teaching me that you can't "fix" everyone. I wanted so badly to help you and show you that not everyone is the same. You made me realize that you can't save someone unless they want to be saved and helped. In the process of trying to "fix" you it did no good for me or you.

Lastly thank you for walking away. I knew for a while before you actually did it, that, that moment was coming but I just couldn't be the one to do it. I didn't want to believe that, that was what was happening. I'm the person that doesn't like to give up and I felt like that was giving up so I couldn't do it. So I am thankful that you were able to walk away because that's what you needed to do with your life. It's what we needed but I couldn't do it.

Maybe one day we will walk back into each others lives maybe we won't. But whatever happens happens, whatever happens is meant to happen in this crazy thing we call life. Thank you for everything you did for me. Some of these things are obvious but others you probably never even realized you did and I want to say thank you for all of it, the good and the bad.

Love always,

Me

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.
