To Those Who I Used To Know
Free Great Picture

Throughout my entire life, I’ve been in and out of friend groups. I’ve lost touch with some people who used to be my closest friends, but the reality is that at age 19, I’ve come to terms with the fact that there are some people who aren’t in my life anymore, and it’s OK. Life moves on and you meet new people who have the tendency to fill that void. However, this is to everyone who I used to know, those who made a huge impact on my life.

Well to start,

Hello.

It has been several years since we’ve had a conversation, since I’ve seen you laugh, smile, since you’ve made me smile. I really hope that your smile still shines as bright as the sun, and radiates happiness into others, each and every one of you.

I’ve never known such positive people in my life, and I cannot thank you enough. You’ve turned me into what I only imagined years ago. As many of you know, I used to have a hard time accepting things that went wrong, even the things that were out of my control. However, throughout those wonderful years of friendship, I’ve learned that the only way to look at situations like those is to laugh and say “oh well, better luck next time,” and this I learned because of you.

We used to gossip constantly about who was doing what and what was happening when. I’ve grown apart from that, as I hope that you have too. I appreciate that you could listen to me rant for hours about how this person made me angry or that person did something I didn’t approve of, but we’re at that age where we have to accept what goes on, and I hope that you still laugh about the things that drove us crazy, as I still do.

I hope that you’ve found someone special and that he or she makes you happier than anyone ever could. You deserve that. You deserve to be spoiled with the nothing but the best and to feel like you’re on Cloud 9. I want nothing more than that for you.

The thing is, I could go on and on about how much I want for you. I want the world for you. I may not know what caused us to separate. Maybe it was a petty fight over a boy or a broken chair, but I just want you to know that I cherish the time we spent together. You’ve all helped me become the person I am today and I love that person, so I can’t thank you enough. You’ll always have a place in my heart and a lasting memory in my brain, and I can truly mean it when I say that I hope one day we meet again and can reminisce about our childhood years. Although I’ve moved past much of what I used to know, just remember, I will never forget and I honestly cannot thank you enough.

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.
