I just don't tell you this enough

A letter to my best friends saying everything I know I should say.

I just don't tell you this enough
Allison Massey

So I'm gonna start off by saying, I'm not a perfect friend. I realize many of you may be shocked by this but I'm not. I can be rude, crass, way too honest, and just down right mean; but I can also be supportive, passionate, and loving. So here's a glimpse to that side of me. Here are some things I really don't tell ya'll enough:

I love you

I do, I really do. I am ungrateful at times because you do so much for me that I just expect it but I do love you more than anything in this world.

Thank you

You guys are everything to me. You help me when I fall down, you pick up all the pieces even when you knew it would happen. So thank you, from the deepest parts of me for everything that you do.

You are amazing

Some of my friends know and believe this about themselves, but for those of you who don't here you go. I can't tell you enough just how amazing you are. You are so much more than what you see in yourself. You're not just someone there to pick up the pieces, you are wonderfully created to be the amazing person that you are. You're incredibly talented in several ways, some of you are incredible singers, some of you have a passion to help others, and some of you are just the best type of friend there is. Please always remember that you are more incredible than what you believe about yourself and that I think you're incredible.

I know I'm annoying

I do realize that I can be a bit... demanding. I just try to push each of you to be the absolute best you can be. If I take the time to be your friend and put the effort in to talk to you I realize that at some point I'm going to annoy you. I'm fully aware of that, but thanks for sticking around anyway.

I see potential in you

As many of you know, I don't really like spending time around people because they always disappoint. So if I am friends with you I believe that you have the potential to do amazing things and I fully intend to push you every step of the way there.


So to my friends, I know I should say all of these things more often, but I don't and I suck for here. Read this and remember it all the time even if I'm not being the greatest friend in that moment.

Love always,

The friend who doesn't deserve you.

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!
