Friendship is a beautiful thing, isn't it? Being able to have that person who you go to, confide in, and love. I never felt so close to another human being ever in my life, and I am grateful for the many memories that we shared. When you find someone who understands you completely and loves you despite your flaws, that's something that you do not let go of. I never imagined life without you and even though you had imperfections, I never walked away from you. Not once. But, it appeared that the friendship was one-sided since you condemned me for mine. My honesty; my bluntness. I said the things that you didn't want to hear. The things you didn't want to accept. I guess you couldn't handle that. At the end of the day, I was only trying to help you do better. I did all of those things out of love.

I cared for you more than anyone else ever did, but you didn't see that. All of your rough relationships, I was the one that was there to talk to and comfort you. When you were crying over your depression or your struggles, I was there to love you. In your darkest times, I tried to be your light. To guide you, to make you feel safe. I wanted you to feel important.

Maybe I should have been more tender with you. Perhaps I should have just hidden my inner feelings. But, in my eyes, that's not being a true friend. Friendship is honest, friendship is raw, and I refuse to sugar coat things. There are times to be delicate, but I believe that there are times where you need to be blunt with the things you say. Maybe this makes me an awful person, who knows.

Someday, I will find a friend who appreciates my honesty, as well as my love. And maybe one day, you will look back and realize exactly what you lost. I am not begging you to come back, nor do I expect you to, but you need to see this through my eyes. That is all I really want. I guess when it comes down to it, it doesn't really matter.

So, you have gone your way and I have gone mine. Looking at you now, it's almost like looking at a stranger. It just goes to show that there's a fine line between love and hate. I knew the moment it all came crashing down, that there was no turning back. With the passing of time, I have become okay with that. At the end of the day, I do want to see you happy and successful and I want you to find a best friend that better suits you as a person. You will do great in life and I wish you the best of luck in your future. Even though I will not be a part of it.

mistake

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
