She, Pt. IV

She is fading. She is broken. She is invisible.

She, Pt. IV
Brandi Flower

She is told to just go for it. Go to everything that has an open invitation. She wonders how she'll survive when she's already drowning. There's no hand to pull her up, no soul nearby to walk her through it. Who will help her?

She sits alone, on the verge of tears. Her night has taken a turn for the worse. Everyone is having fun around her. She longs to get up and join, but she can't get past what has happened. Who will help her?

She once again sits alone, not about to cry though. She is saving two seats for her friends. Only one joins her, and they leave together. Neither one was acknowledged by anyone else for the entire hour. She hops in her car alone and cries on the way back to school. Who will help her?

She changes plans last minute and leaves. She heads to the East where solitude awaits. Welcoming arms, more than friendly smiles, and an ear that will listen. No more tears, no more anger, she is finally relaxed. But all too soon it is time to go back to reality. Who will help her?

She is fifty miles out, and the thoughts pour in. Anger seeps through every pore, and sadness follows. The events from the weekend play in her head over and over again, each time more vivid than the last. She tries to stop it from happening, but the mind is not easily escapable. Who will help her?


She is fading. She is broken. She is invisible.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

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!
