The One That Got Away

Sometimes "forever" feels like it's not enough time.

"Forever?"

"Forever and ever."

Shared smiles as they hold hands taking in the beautiful sunset.

Long car drives to nowhere just so they could spend more time together.

That first kiss and the way their nose wrinkled when they smiled afterwards.

Every free moment in life belongs to spending time with them, feeling on top of the world.

Grocery store trips become way more fun with them.

Feeling like nothing on earth could break them.

"I love you."

"I love you more."

Months fly by, in which they create endless nights full of adventure and laughter.

They paint the world with bright colors through their love for each other.

Memory after memory.

The first fight and the way they both cried afterwards.

More memories.

More promises towards the future.

Deep conversations, completely sharing minds and hearts.

More fights.

"Do you still love me?"

"I always will."

Long talks.

Treasuring every touch, in fear of losing them.

More memories.

Short drives because they are tired.

A sunset that is nowhere to be seen.

No nose wrinkles after the kiss.

Seeing each other when they have a chance.

One last fight.

One last talk.

One last kiss.

Lonely walks alone down the grocery store aisles.

Everything around them breaks them.

Reminding them of the memories.

'I still love them."

"I think I love them more than they love me."

Months fly by.

The beauty from the world is lost.

Tears shed.

Long, lonely nights.

Months pass.

More colors are added to the world.

Someone else asks them about their past relationship, they smile.

"Sometimes forever doesn't actually last forever, and that is okay."

"We lived fearlessly. I don't regret it."

They will never meet anyone like each other for the rest of their lives.

But luckily every sunset is different and beautiful.

Luckily there will be more moments in life that will be treasured.

The world is full of promises.

Too many for all of them to last forever.

"I love what we had."

"I always will."

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.

As most of us already know, Friends is one of the greatest television series ever produced. The cast is genius. The humor never gets old. The episodes are relatable and timeless.

I can easily say that I have watched each season at least three times and I belly laugh harder every time. All Friends fans can agree that there are certain lines that form a bond between us and when heard one cannot help but laugh.

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

Parks and Rec

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry). From the moment we met the pit, to the time we saw it flourish into a beautiful park, we all had developed a little bit of Pawnee, Indiana in our hearts.
