A Letter To The Friends I Lost Respect For

Even though you put me through total hell, I still hope you have a good life.

This thing kind of happens a lot. People lose friends, people get out of touch. Some people just are not meant to be life-long friends, like me and you. Even though I'm not perfect, I loved you and cared for you like you were, and maybe that's where I went wrong. You broke my heart time after time, and I still cared for you.

You pushed me down, treated me like I was a bother, and your friend only when you needed something. It was all an act for you. You called me your "bff" on Instagram, but "bossy" to someone else, because you never had my back, and I only saw through you at the end of our friendship.

Sometimes I lay in bed and think about everything that went wrong, what could have been different. I think about how weird it was to have someone in my life who just didn't care about the wellbeing of others, especially their own friends. There were so many faces that you put up so that your friends couldn't see who you truly were.

I wish I would have known that this was going to happen. I wish I would have known all the hurt and disrespect you would put me through, so I could have gotten the hell out.

I get sad sometimes that you could never respect me at all to make it work. I tried it all. I'm not sorry about what happened. Honestly, things have been a lot better since we stopped being friends. I have more respect for myself, my true friends, something you never gave me.

I wish you could see how much I did for you, and to see me hurt after you made it clear that you didn't care.

I'm sad for you that you never saw how good of a friend I was to you, but maybe you needed to lose me. Maybe you'll realize how heartless you were with me and others, and you'll change your toxic behavior.

I'll remember the good times we had in the beginning, and I'll still wish a happy life for you. I still hope that you take care of yourself and your family does well. But overall, I really hope that you can learn how to be a better friend to people who truly love and care for you, because your friends have feelings too, and those are just as important as 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.

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.
