"Fathom your soul to speak more beautiful words." - Audrey Silver


As a writer, I am both equally in love and afraid of words. Words are funny things. The wrong ones can destroy everything. The right ones can heal the most broken hearts. The thing about words though... Is sometimes the right words to say, hide away where your feelings stay, and it's scary to go that deep.

As a writer, I feel that words will be the most important thing that I will leave behind. When you love someone, you should tell them. When you miss someone, you should tell them. We are all just trying to get through life, to find success and happiness. Holding your tongue is not going to help anyone.

I've always been somewhat of an introvert and making friends wasn't always easy for me. My best friend was my grandmother who read novels and wrote poetry no matter how much pain she was in. Before and after she passed away, writing and words meant more to me than ever before. When you know someone is dying, you choose your words a little more wisely. I guess what I'm saying is, you never know when someone will no longer be in your world, and shouldn't the last words you say to someone be as beautiful as you are?

The feelings we feel are never out of place. I know you're scared to send that one text message, make that one phone call, tell that one person you love them... This is your sign to do so. Life is too short. We pick our words before they come out of our mouth, choose them wisely.

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!
