Thank you for wiping my tears away

An Open Letter to the Friends Who Picked Me Up

It was you..Those nights when I kept staring at my phone, waiting for a text from the one person who stole my heart but didn't care for it. Or when I would be crying my eyes out, hidden under my covers wanting to disappear from the world. It was you who was always there to lift my head up and tell me that everything was going to be okay. It's like you knew me better than I knew my own self. You were the mirror I looked into and found the truths about myself. You were the one who gave me the harsh truths in the gentlest of ways.

Over and over you would watch me make the same mistakes, and still you never left my side. Every single time, you would have to shake me while screaming at me my worth. It's like you had to walk around with a stash of tissues and your hand ready to slap me back into reality when needed. Sometimes I even saw you wipe a tear drop from your own cheek from feeling my pain. Those are the times that I will never forget; We couldn't be any closer then in that moment.

You are the only person who I get in a fight with and it can't ever last longer then fifteen minutes. My heart just can't hold in hate for you longer then that. I mean who else am I going to have crazy dance parties or rap battles with in the car. Or take midnight trips to buy out all of McDonald's cookies and point out every plane we see flying above us because of an insider we have with each other. You are my soulmate of a friend that can never be replaced.

You have been there when I was at my highest moment in life and the lowest. The only thing that changed was how tight you hugged me because with each time they got tighter and tighter. You hold a place in my heart because of how special our friendship is to me. Every moment spent together helped mold me into the person I am, even in our most craziest of times.

Saying thank you is not enough for all you have done for me. You are more than a friend to me, you are now who I consider family. You are my soul sister, my double mint twin, the peanut butter to my jelly, the Robin to my Batman, and the Ying to my Yang. You know how all of those quirky sayings go, well you are all of those in one. I can't think of anybody else who could make my heartbreaks bearable and my single lady phase the most enjoyable ever.

So this one is for you best friend. Cheers to many more years of unforgettable memories.

xoxo

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
