A letter to the girl

A letter to the girl who has thrown on that fake smile for far too long.

A letter to the girl

To the girl, I see you. Your the one who smiles at almost anything, but deep down your hurting, you know that if you didn't have that fake smile pasted on your face you would be balling your eyes out. The ones who honestly know you know that that is not the smile from that happy girl that they once knew. They don't ask questions, they just smile along.

To this girl I need to tell you this, i am that girl. I am you. We once were some of the happiest people around, and in the blink of an eye everything fell apart. We kept to ourselves knowing that relying on someone would only cause us more pain than what we would have the ability to handle. It takes everything we have to put on that brave face to be there for friends who are near and dear to us. No matter what is going on with us we are there one hundred percent, what ever they need we support them.


We will get through this. This fake smile we have been wearing for far too long will eventually fade away. We will meet someone or something will come alone and eventually that fake smile will be gone and slowly we will get that smile back that we thought would be gone forever. It may take weeks, or even months, there will be times where we will want to throw in the towel on life. But we wont no matter how challenging it gets we got our vibe back and we wont loose it again.

My promise to you is this. You will make it. You will get your happiness back and you wont ever let it go again, You will be okay,



xoxo, the girl who is you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
