A look into our friendship

My Best Friend Is A Transman

Best friends are something we have many of as we grow up. A couple of them are put in your life as a blessing and a couple are in your life to teach you a lesson. I got lucky enough to have met my best friend the first day of freshman year of high school at our bus stop. He called me a bumble bee because I had these god awful yellow skinny jeans on,a black silk jacket and don't get me started on the black and yellow checkered back pack I had on. So on that day we got to talking and found out that we had some friends in common and we instantly clicked and that started our journey of love,laugh,tears and fun. My sophomore year of high school was a tough one for me because this girl who I'll name Sam decided to turn against me and make my life hell for no good reason. I lost all my "friends" and I was seriously depressed, she would start rumors and just straight up bully me and the only person who would stand up for me was my best friend Hayden. This girl who I've named Sam decided that it would be a good day to out me to my parents because I haven't told them I was gay at this point yet.

Hayden helped me realize who I was and he came out at the same time as I did in sophomore year. Now here's the catch my best friend is a transman and even before he transitioned into the man he is today he helped me become the woman I am today. I'll never forget how scared he was to tell me he was transitioning like he wasn't in tears trying to tell me and I just looked at him and said "bub I know your trans I've know since junior year of high school". That's when he really started sobbing and just said to me that he thought I wasn't going to be his best friend anymore. Now in his transition he has taught me more then the four previous years of our friendship he has taught me to be more open minded to be more compassionate and most of all how to love a human in the most innocent way. I never knew you could love someone so much and not have any romantic feelings for the person, But me and Hayden are living proof of that and even though he is away at college and i dont live at home anymore when we see each other it's like nothing's ever Changed. Having best friend like Hayden has truly made me a better person.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to 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!
