Saying My Final Goodbye To The Most Toxic Person In My Life

You only care about the flick of that lighter.

This isn’t to bash you, but in a way, it’s a thank you.

Thank you for being my constant letdown. Thank you for being the embarrassment in any public spot we went to. You were controlling, you played mind games, and you were just everything you wouldn’t be.

We had days where you were the funniest and happiest person to be around. Then one day, you decided drugs were more important. That two-hour high was all you cared about.

You pushed me to fall into depression. I never fell for your way, though. You were everything I never wanted to be.

Partying, drinking, and smoking were some things I never found fun. But that was right up your alley.

Heartbreak is a different type of feeling when it comes to fighting for someone with a drug addiction. Drugs are toxic. YOU are toxic.

Let’s rewind to about six months ago, you being drug-free and happy. When we were happy... I used to enjoy spending time with you. I used to be in love with you. You made my days brighter.

But now? You only make your days brighter by flicking a lighter.

I feel sorry for you — and I truly mean that. I blame myself for it. I blame myself for letting you go down this path. How could I not see this coming?

I miss seeing your eyes sparkle when your smile would reach your cheeks. I miss being the reason why you smile. I miss being with you more than anything.

But like I said before, you only care about the flick of that lighter and the blunt between your lips.

So this is my goodbye; this is much harder for me than it will ever be for you.

Watching you go through and down this path is actual torture. I wish you the best, and hopefully a fast recovery.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
