My Internet Friends Get Me

Social media ain't all bad.

Dec 12, 2016

There comes a point in our lives where we ask ourselves "are there any real people left in the world?" At 22 years old this was the exact question I asked myself and never in a million years did I think the answer to my question would lie in a social media app.

I know this might sound crazy, but stick with me okay? Almost three and a half years ago I joined Twitter. Yes I know, very basic of me but whatever. I joined because all of my friends were on and it was just another way to keep up with people from high school that you didn't really care about or stalk people you actually hate. Little did I know I would connect with strangers from around the world who share common interests with me and were there for me when the people at home weren't. There really is no better feeling than have support from someone, it just so happened to be at first I didn't really know these people.

Yeah yeah, I know what you are thinking and I completely understand because I thought I was crazy at first too but who really cares how you make a friend? All that matters is that they are true, right?

As I look back on the last 4 years I realize that I met some of the greatest, most supportive and loving woman in the world all because of a phone app. I have gotten the chance to meet tons of these girls in person and it is like we have known each other for years. I have met people who are going to be friends for a lifetime and that is the most amazing feeling in the world. These girls get me.

So thank you Twitter. Thank you for being a killer friend. Without you the world will be less, well, blue.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
