A Open Letter to Those Who Have Stuck by Me

Ev·er·last·ing

( Lasting forever or for a very long time )

A fragile term I choose to use for a handful of people in my life, and for those people reading this. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This one’s for you.

From numerous breakups and passings, to prom pictures and birthdays. You have made the decision to stick by my side through it all. Even when our friendship has been at its lowest and time would play its part in bonding us. We always somehow found our way back to each other. And as for when our relationship is at its highest, we grow stronger each and every day.

Even waking up everyday and feeling the sting of pain, on my weakest days, you were right there with “Good morning” texts. The feeling of security that rushed through my body with the words appearing on my screen. It sends a message that you are going out of your way first thing in the morning to make sure I am taken care of. And for that, I will forever in a sense fall in love with our friendship over and over again.

You mean more to me than the air I breathe, and the ground I walk upon. Because without you I don’t see light or hope. Without the simplest hellos and the hardest goodbyes how could I possibly know what true love and dedication felt like. Between me and you, you turned my demons away and in came the angels. You have changed me in ways you can never fathom.

For every key there is a lost heart awaiting to be unlocked, to be loved. I was that heart, and you were the key. When I had said that I didn’t have the strength to pull through or continue, you responded with these exact words.

“You can be tired, and weak, but I promised myself that I would carry you throughout your days. I am never leaving and that is a vow I'm more than willing to stand by.”

Never forget that you are deeply appreciated, and I will always love you.

RBF

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.

April Ludgate

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
