Dear Best Friend, I Know Times Are Hard

To be honest, we’re both a mess

Dear Best Friend, I Know Times Are Hard
H&L Productions

Seeing you without your smiling face is hard on me. I know when you're falling and it kills me inside. You try and hide your pain but you’re not hard to read. You’re my best friend and it hurts me when you won’t let me in. I know you like to be independant but, trust me, you can’t do this alone.

I want you to know that I'm always here for you. Even when you don't think I'm listening, I always am. I want what's best for you and although I'm not always perfect, I know what to say in your distress. I want you to be happy again. The world is harsh and it hits us all pretty hard everyday but I want you to know that you've always got a best friend by your side no matter what. (She's a pretty great one too if I do say so myself)

I've always hated when you tried to be so strong and keep it all to yourself and I'm kind of a hypocrite because I attempt to do the same. To be honest, we’re both a mess. I want you to know that it’s okay to feel. It’s okay to reach out and say you need help. It’s okay to be a mess.

I know you want to be strong but you’ve already proved yourself to be strong. No one likes to show their tears but it is not a sign of weakness. Life can hit us all pretty hard but it’s okay to fall sometimes. I’m not going to be basic and say "you must fall before you can fly.” No, I want you to know that when you fall, I will be there to pick up the pieces. If you don’t think you can do it anymore, then I will sit with you in the darkness. One day this pain will be invisible and that smile will no longer be fake, one day you will let out a smile and I will see that spark in your eyes. One day things will turn around.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
