What I Wish I Knew Before I Met Y​ou

You filled voids I didn't know I needed until you were gone.

What I Wish I Knew Before I Met Y​ou

No one believed me when I told them how fast I became fond of you, but they weren't seeing the same person I was. You were amazingly interesting to me. I loved learning the way things make you tick and trying to figure out your extremely complex personality. I wish I was slower with my feelings and took enough time to see how although we had a great connection we should have remained friends.

You were always honest with me about how you felt and that made me feel extremely comfortable with you. When we were together at the time I was not even grateful for the comfort you gave me because I was not planning on that feeling to go away, but it had. I wish I would have not got so comfortable.

You made me blind, but it's okay because while we were together I saw colors. I looked past your poor habits and reckless behavior to see more of a person that was never truly there, just one that I made up for you. You were sweet and had ridiculously funny humor, but you also were a manipulative asshole.

When you did something wrong, one way or another, I convinced myself that it was my fault. I forgave you too many times when you never even apologized to me. I wish I would have walked away sooner.

Although I was so greatly fond of you and I loved your hilarious, adventurous, and unique personality, your lack of empathy made me drift away until I felt completely nothing. I'm proud of who I have become since I got away from your toxic grasp. There is nothing I would want to change about how our relationship went, but I really do wish I knew that even though we were so happy and so passionate in the beginning, that I would be okay when it was time to leave.

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.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
