A Letter to the People in my Life

No matter how close we are, you just need to know a few things.

A Letter to the People in my Life
Cassidy Downs

Hey you! I know, I may have known you for most of my life or maybe just recently we've become friends but there's some things I would like to tell you. I'll try my best to not make this sappy because as you may know, I don't like showing emotion too much. It's gross. I don't mind when you show me how you feel because I love you but, I don't like showing my emotions to you because, well, I don't know why.

Anyway, whether you've known me long or not, you've probably noticed I have a very dark sense of humor and you know I don't actually mean it 90% of the time. You also probably have noticed I'm pretty sassy. I'm sassy because I'm letting you know if you hurt me, I'll break you. I also love being dominate. Don't mess with me. With all silliness aside, I just really have to tell you a few things.

First of all, I really do cherish you. I really do enjoy our time spent together. I know you may think you know me but, depending how close you are to me and how comfortable I feel around you, I probably haven't told you everything or you haven't seen all my flaws. That's okay though, I'm sure I haven't seen all your flaws or you haven't told me everything. I'm sure we both have been through a rough time and sometimes not talking about it is the best for us both. Trust is one of those tricky things to figure out. But, if you need someone to talk to, I'm always here.

I respect you. I respect who you are, who your other friends are, your political and religious beliefs, and I respect your space. I try my hardest to not make you mad even if we disagree. If you don't like something I've said or done, let me know. I'd rather talk about it like a mature person rather than have you hating me or holding a grudge.

Also, I've always wondered what do I look like to you. Not physically but, do you look up to me in some way or the way I look up to you? What do you think of me? What do you tell others about me? I don't know, I've always wondered that because your perspective of me is different than mine. I mean, I don't see flaws in you at all or maybe I just don't notice them.

Finally, No matter how long we've known each other, you're important to me and play a key role in my life. I can't thank you enough for who you are and everything you've done for me. Even if it was something small, I just want to thank you for it. I hope this has given you some sort of idea of who you are to me or how I feel about you. I don't know if I can say this enough but, thank you.

Sincerely,

ME

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!
