The new friend

That distraught feeling will never go away.

The feeling that she is perfect.

How she is a twin to you,

and I will not ever be that-

that attitude, positive, pretty, those interests-

that match yours.

I will never have that smile and never be that kind of gorgeous.

You talk so highly of her,

and I can only hope you talk about me half as good to the rest.

She is climbing up so high and quickly on your ladder,

I can see her coming and am scared she is going to pass me

I feel like that relationship is growing stronger and stronger everyday.

While ours is falling apart.

Makes sense doesn’t it?

We don’t talk every day anymore like you both do.

We don’t have the same likes like you both do.

We have more and more fights unlike you both do.

I am terrified that I am losing someone I call my best friend.

She is going to replace me.

She gets to see you close to every day.

If I am lucky i get to see your face through my 5x2 inch iPhone,

which I miss seeing by the way.

I miss our midnight drives.

Not to mention our artistic actions we share with walls and bridges.

I miss that show we watched together.

I miss how one of us would order more food just so the other could steal it.

I miss knowing your “usual” when we would go out to eat.

I feel that slowly slipping away.

I am forgetting those things everyday.

And I know you’re forgetting mine too.

DMAN this distance thing sucks.

I want to spend my evenings with you and help another out.

Soon you’ll be helping her like you did for me.

You say that it is not happening but I feel it,

Im being let go and soon she will be the new me...

she will replace me...

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

If you’re from the Midwest, it seems to be that winter lasts for what feels like forever. But despite the struggles that winter brings, there are so many things to love about it.

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
