I'm Not The Supportive Friend, I'm The Friend That Keeps It REAL

If you want an honest opinion, I got you.

I'm Not The Supportive Friend, I'm The Friend That Keeps It REAL
Stephanie Moser

I will never be the friend that just tells you what you want to hear. I like to be honest without sugar coating anything.

I get it, you want me to baby you. You want your friends to agree to everything you say and be "supportive." Well NEWS FLASH Deborah-Sue, that's not being supportive. Supporting your friends is being able to tell them when you disagree and being able to tell them your side while still remaining friends.

If you and your friend can't stay friends after butting heads or having a difference in opinions, then I don't want THAT kind of friendship.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I want you to roast TF out of me. I also don't want my friend to be soooo rude that it just seems like they're trying to hurt my feelings.

Cause that's not friendship. If you have to make someone else feel down just so you feel better about yourself, you shouldn't have friends, sorry not sorry.

Friendship is about disagreements and enjoying different things, that's what makes it so fun. Having someone who is willing to give you an outside opinion and a new way to look at things is truly a blessing.

I am the friend that will always, without a doubt, keep it 100% with you. Some say it's a fault that I have. I'm too honest for my own good. With all this honesty I occasionally hurt a few feelings, on accident, of course, I would never intentionally hurt a friend. Personally, I am one of those people who'd rather be hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie and by now all of my friends have realized that.

I understand that that's not everyone's outlook on life and I do try and cater to my friends' individual needs but sometimes there's just no way to "beat around the bush". I am not willing to dismiss my values to potentially protect someone's feelings. Some things just have to be said. So I'm sorry if your feelings get hurt by accident but I'm not sorry for being one of the most real people on your team.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
