An Open Letter To My Newest Friend

I'm so glad to meet you.

Dear New Friend,

I'm so glad to meet you. If I ever forget how we met, please remind me. New friends and new memories are my favorite stories, and odds are I'm going to write it down.

You'll know I'm a writer before you know much else about me. Writing is how I process my feelings, express myself, and learn who I am. If you're lucky, you won't be learning about me from my articles and poetry, but directly from me. But as my friend, be warned, you'll endure endless talk about pitches, edits, and a lot of other journalistic content you probably don't care about- and that's ok. As long as I have your support, I won't ask for more.

As soon as you become a part of my life, I will have your back. I will be by your side through anything you face. I'll be your coach, your cheerleader, or your shoulder to cry on. I know where my priorities lie, and my friends are at the top of the list. You will always matter to me, no matter what struggles you face or what mistakes you may make in life.

When I take in a new friend, I intend on being friends for life. I want you at my wedding, my baby shower, and my funeral. I want you there for every success and every tragedy I face- and I want to be there for yours.

Friendship is not something I take lightly, so I hope you treat our relationship as something as valuable as gold.

Always,

Gabrielle

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
