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.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
