To All The Relationships That Didn't Work

I want to start by saying I am OK. I always have been, and I always will be.

Thank you for being there when you were. Together, we had our times of good but the bad got the better of us, and that's OK. Some of you are gone forever but others, I appreciate your presence. An upsetting past is easier for some to learn from and look beyond than others. And that's OK, too.

To those lives no longer entwined in mine, I do miss the companionship I once held to. Your smile and our jokes are truly missed. You will always be in my thoughts, I cannot remove you from my memory. I think on you, not often, but enough. I wish you nothing but happiness while looking back on our disagreements. These moments are what make me thankful for you. I can handle the next situation better than the last.

To those who are still in my life but our relationship has changed, I am grateful. Through the hard times we've shared and caused each other, you still stay and ask, sincerely ask about my new life going on without you. There are times when the new relationships haven't blossomed into deep connections necessary for success through hardships but you are a rock. You may not belong me anymore but you are still a foundation on which I stand and sometimes cry.

To all of you, I am thankful for the memories and lessons you have taught me. Each of you have brought forth a part of me I did not know existed. Each of the relationships gave me a chance to build on something new for a better future for myself. You have made my life a rollercoaster but I haven't exactly made it easier on you either. In spite of all the ups and downs, you are also passengers. right along with me taking each turn as you can. I wish nothing but the best for you in your future.

All of you.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
