In This Article:

To the friends who believed we would grow old together, to the friends who traded their deepest secrets with me and kept all of my secrets safe, to the friends who loved me and stood by me through everything: thank you.

Thank you and I am sorry.

There were times where I truly believed we were attached at the hip. Your home was my home, as well as your family. Yet, things tend to change as we get older. Do not get me wrong - I love you. I always will, but we have grown so much and we are on different paths in our lives now. Our schedules do not align, our beliefs are completely different, our priorities have changed, and we are no longer as compatible as we once were.

I have nothing but respect for you, please do not think that I have cut you off for hateful reasons.

I hope you get everything you ever wanted out of life; however, I will not be there to celebrate with you.

We are adults now. It is harder to always hang out or talk on the phone because we are just so busy in our lives. That is okay. Life gets in the way sometimes, and maybe it is for the best.

I hope you find the love of your life. I hope you get married and have lots of children. I hope you grow old with your love and spoil all your grandchildren. I hope you still keep all my secrets, as I will keep all of yours - they are not mine to share. And I hope someone loves you and supports you the way you had loved and stood by me.

If one day we meet again, I know that we will click like the day we first met. Until then, thank you for being my temporary person. Thank you for being you.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
