Last week, audiences across the country needed therapy after watching the season seven premiere of AMC's "The Walking Dead." The premiere gave us and up close and personal introduction to Lucille, the season's new must-have murder accessory. It was an hour full of anxiety, anguish, and baited breath. We watched in horror as two beloved characters' heads were turned into ground meat by everyone's new favorite villain, Negan. It was an emotionally and physically exhausting episode that completely changed the game. My reaction is in the video below. There were some parts I couldn't watch.

Looking forward, the rest of the season is uncomfortably unknown. The group has never been in a situation where they have so little control or sovereignty. Even if they weren't in the most secure situation, Rick's group has pretty much always had control of their own destiny (except for maybe Terminus, but even then we knew that Carol would come in like a badass and save the day). This new situation, where Rick and the rest of the group have to answer to Negan, is unprecedented. It's impossible to predict what's going to happen this season with any level of certainty.

While we mourn Glenn and Abraham and stress over Daryl, we must also tip our hats to the writers of "The Walking Dead." When a show is new, it's easy to invent new plot lines and twists. This show is now in its seventh season and is still blowing us away with new developments, which is an establishment that keeps us tuning in every Sunday night.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
