You made me feel that I wasn't enough when in reality you just never saw my potential. You never cared about my growth as a person you were too focused on yourself. You didn't have to be so selfish, you could have tried to build me up the way I built you up. You didn't love yourself so you made it impossible for me to love you. Once I found people who actually love me I realized how detrimental you were to my health. You didn't care whether I was having a good day or a bad day, you just wanted me there for your convenience. You didn't care about me at all actually, whether I got home okay or if I was having a bad day.

You only wanted to focus on yourself but that gave you no right to break me in the process. You could have done that and told me you weren't ready, but you tried to convince yourself you were ready and you hurt me so terribly. But that's okay, for we live in a generation where hurting people is okay, it's a way of life. I just wish I didn't have to fail victim to your childish ways. Real men own up to what they want they don't deceive people and hurt them just to realize that person wasn't enough. People need to figure out themselves first before they go and damage other people just to figure out that they weren't enough. I knew I was enough and I was more than enough. People make excuses just to treat people terribly and it's disgusting. If you don't know what you want stay single until you figure it out, no need to break kind people because you're indecisive.

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!
