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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
