To The Person That Didn't Make It To This Chapter

This letter is for anyone that came into my life, and didn't quite make it to the next chapter...

~ I want to thank you for making me a better person in some ways. I want to thank you for always making me laugh and telling me jokes. I'll forever cherish all of our memories, good and bad, our beautiful days, and our ugly days. You will forever have a piece of me, and I, you.~

At one point in time you were my best friend. You were the one that I told everything too; from the weird looks someone gave to me, or the serious stuff like when I found out I was moving away. We did everything together. We were inseparable and obnoxiously annoying to others, what could be better?

But, along with our good times, came our bad times. The times we fought, and didn't talk for days. When everything became about you, rather than asking how I was.

It turned into a one sided friendship that I could no longer be apart of.

I grew out of my old skin and into someone who has grown up, physically and mentally. I will not just let people walk all over me like a doormat, when after all this time I've been the one holding the door open for them. For awhile I didn't know that I could let the door go, and keep moving forward. I just continued to hold the door open for people who didn't even deserve it.

I stood there with that door open for years and not once did I ever receive a thank you, or any appreciation. You walked right through that door and trashed everything. You made me realize that not everyone is good, and kind hearted. You made me realize that I don't need people who don't need me, someone that appreciates me and my friendship.

So, it's okay that you didn't make it to this chapter in my life. You've already made this chapter better, by not being in it. This chapter is everything it's supposed to be because your time in my life ran short. You taught me how to improve in the future and you taught me how to be even kinder than before. So, thank you for that.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

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!
