We know you're busy trying to find yourself. But guess what? So is she.

An Open Letter To The One Who Broke My Roommate's Heart

No - I don't mean you man, her ex-boyfriend. I mean you girl - her ex-best friend.

It was her freshman year of college, and she was so excited to have a friend who genuinely cared about her, after only a few days of being on campus.

You made her think she was special.

You made her think she could lean on you.

You made her think you'd be her maid of honor, the friend from college who remains a friend forever.

She thought wrong.

You made her cry.

You made her depressed.

You made her feel at fault, and all she did was lean on you, when times got rough.

We know you're busy trying to find yourself. But guess what, so is she.

You can't promise her that you're there for her, and then push her away when she needs you the most.

Everything happens for a reason though.

I was there for her.

I got closer with her.

We say things at the same time.

We make the same weird noises when we laugh.

We stay up late every night and laugh 90% of the time we're together, and don't even care that we only get 2 hours of sleep.

We have inside jokes now.

We have plans to live together next year.

I do her hair.

She teaches me guitar.

We help each other with homework.

She even got acupuncture with me, so I wouldn't be scared.

And it's all because of you.

So thank you.

Even though you broke her heart, I was there mend it.

Don't bother trying to make things right, I got it covered.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
