To My Friend

Dec 07, 2016

To my friend: I want to say that I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I wasn't in time to stop you. I'm sorry that I didn't have time to remind you of the people you were leaving behind. I'm sorry I didn't tell you that it wasn't worth it. I'm sorry I didn't remind you that you were beautiful inside and out. I'm sorry that I didn't silence the voices leading you to do this. But most of all, I'm sorry I never asked you to stay

I don't blame you for leaving, I just wish you would have trusted me to help you. I don't think you were selfish, I just wish I had been able to help you. Nobody blames you, we all just love and miss you so much. I wish a lot of things right now. I wish I had put more effort into our relationship. I wish I had taken an effort and not just passed you by. But most of all, I wish you were still here. Most importantly, I wish I had a chance to say goodbye.

To my friend: I want to say thank you. Thank you for your genuine heart for others. Thank you for the love and warmth you poured into other people's lives, including mine. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for letting me be your friend. Thank you for letting me into your life

Words can't express right now how I feel without you. I miss your smile, I miss your laugh, and I miss your heart. I miss your warmth. Warmth I wish I had shown back to you.

To my friend: I want to thank you for everyone here. Without you, they are lost, and I am lost too.

To my friend: I miss everything we did. I miss our road trip with others that I wish I had been able to do again. I miss your jokes and I miss your infectious laugh. There's too much to put into words what I wish and what I miss.

To my friend: what if I tried harder? What if I made an effort to understand you? Would you still be here? I don't know, and now I never will know, because you're gone.

To my friend: I was looking forward to all of the stuff you were wanting to tell me. I was looking forward to seeing the CREW's biggest supporter at the events. I was excited to hear about your wedding, if you were ever going to tell me about it. I would have told you about my wedding, because honestly, you would have been the first to know. I would have wanted an invitation, and I would have made you cry with the toast. Instead, I'm brought to tears at the memories of what should have been and what could have been.

To my friend: I wish I told you that it would matter without you here. I wish I had told you "Don't leave." I wish I could tell you how many people do care without you here.

To my friend: I don't know how I feel. I feel empty and hollow without you. You truly had a personality no one would be able to match. I don't think anyone here could take your place. I don't think anyone could try.

And why should they? Why should they try to replace someone like you? No one in years could even bother to try.

How long will it be until next time? How long until I see you again?

I guess I won't know until it happens.

To my friend: From the bottom of my heart, I miss you and I will always love you. Until next time, this is goodbye.

Rest in peace, my friend

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
