A Thank You Letter To Those Who Keep Me Sane

I would probably be in a loony bin if you weren't around.

To whom this may concern,

You know who you are. You are the person that helps me deal with my emotional dilemmas in my past and now dealing with them in the present. You are the one that watched me go full throttle, overloaded psychopath when something was getting in my way. Whether it was a person, a thing, or just watching me overthink to the maximum power, which admittedly I tend to do a lot. Even dealing with me being like that when I’m super over-tired and hyper definitely says something.

The laughs we share to keep me going, the tears that have fallen when both of us were breaking down about the same thing or a completely different one.

Same Harry Potter Puppet Pal, Same! In most moments you see me wanting to do that. You stop me whether it’s making me laugh, distracting me with something else or just tell me to suck it up since it’s not worth my time. Over and over again it’s that never-ending cycle of telling me nicely to do this:

Every little bit of that was needed. Without you doing that I could be stuck in an insane asylum somewhere not in this town, or even in this state. You wouldn’t be able to see crazier episodes of me being over-reactive, weird and completely insane. Admit, there are a number of reasons you tolerate it, but there’s only two I can think of. It’s either too entertaining (in other words I’m better than cable) or you know I would do the same thing for you to help me stay sane.

So in short, thank you for all the times you helped me if it was just one encounter. If it was a decent amount, thank you for dealing with it that many times (I am surprised). Most importantly, to the people that deal with it most (my friends, my family, etc.), I’m just flat out thanking you. You are all the real MVP’s in my life and I truly appreciate you more than words can express.

Sincerely,

The Person You Keep Sane

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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
