I do this thing of not letting anyone get close to me. Maybe it’s the fear that eventually you will walk out my life with a piece of me. A piece of myself that I no longer have to offer.

I'm tired of giving more than I actually receive. It’s the main cause of resentment towards others.

All my insecurities will go along with you while you talk with someone else. While you laugh with someone else. While you stay up late talking about anything and everything. The same things we used to do together.

If my name ever comes up in conversation, make sure when you do mention me, you tell them how you killed my soul. There are always two sides to every story.

I'm a strong believer in the thought that everyone that comes into your life for a reason whether it’s for a blessing or a lesson.

They say that time heals all wounds but I don’t think that it’s true. My heart beats as if it’s bleeding. It still hurts when I think about you. Now, I truly understand the saying when they say friends can break your heart too.

It’s always the ones who are closest to you, that seems to let you down. Maybe it’s the fact that you held them higher standard than everyone else.

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!
