Ended Another Friendship Part 2
Here is part two of how I ended another friendship because of his wife. So I damaged Hollie's car, which I already said I would pay for. Well, since it was taking me a long time to get a quote for the damages she didn't like that. On my day off she sends me a long text message saying that I have changed since I've been back, and that I lacked on the house chores. I'm sorry what?! Apparently me working sixty hours was an inconvenience to her. The house had to be clean at all times no matter what. But yet, me and her husband were working a lot and she was on the couch all day.

Ended Another Friendship Part One
I ended a friendship because of his wife. This is part one of that story. It's a very, very, long story. Here it goes: At the beginning of 2020 I moved to California to start over. I was stuck in a rut in my hometown. I just needed some place new. Some place where no one knew me. I just needed to see if I could make it on my own. So my best friend at the time, let's call him Andy, invited me to stay with him and his wife. Let's call her Hollie.

Long Time Crush
How long does it take to get over a crush? I am seriously asking. It's been about three years now, and I still have a crush on this girl. I have no idea why. I am throwing myself into things to keep my mind of off her. But it doesn't seem to be working. Also does not help that I am writing a story and she is one of the main characters. I just don't get it. I am asking for advice.

Single
Eight years of being single. When I tell people I've been single for eight years, they end up surprised. Then they ask me why. I use the same excuse over and over again. I'm a workaholic. If I'm not at work, I'm at home writing, taking in a movie, trying to relax in my room, or just turning off everything trying to mediate. It's not that I don't want to put myself out there or anything. It's the time that I don't have. But yet everyone I know tells me to put myself out there.

What I Am
A lot of things have come into light with me. From work, to my writing, to finally waking myself up. It took a while to figure it out, but I was finally able to get some answers. I was freaking out about it for the past year or so, and I didn't know what to think of it. I just took it in stride. It's one of those things you want to deny, but then, you start to accept it. With that being said, here's what I have discovered about myself.

Ending a Long Friendship
This is gonna be a tough one. About a year ago, I decided to end a thirteen-year friendship with my best friend. What made me do it was the fact that I noticed I kept feeling really down when I was around him. I was getting to a good place and I just felt like he was bringing me down. Now, I understand that he was going through a rough time as well. He was separated from his husband. So at that point, our friendship to me felt more like an obligation. I was just getting drained every time I was with him.

Overcoming Insomnia
I know I lot of people suffer from Insomnia. I'm one of them. Started when I was younger, I think I was about eight or nine. I found myself not being able to sleep, and when I did it I would only sleep for about three to four hours. I never understood why until I got older. I tried keeping a fan on at night, having the TV on, putting on a movie, even tried reading a book I didn't enjoy. But I kept finding myself not getting a full night sleep.

Moving On
I've been single for a good eight years now and there's a reason for that. I guess you could say I wasn't really ready for a relationship, even though I've been in a few throughout high school, and in my early 20s. I always thought being in a relationship would make me happy. I was engaged at 20 and that was a rocky relationship. But I was young and dumb at the time. I wasn't in love with her. I was in love with the idea. But that's another story.

Learned to Love Writing
When I was younger, I didn't really enjoy writing as much as the next person. I did enjoy reading though. But, there was something about writing that just made me want to throw out the pen and paper. It could have been the hand cramps, or the topics in English class I never enjoyed. I was fourteen at the time. I wanted to hang out with my friends, play sports, go to the movies, just have a good time and have fun. That was until I started to daydream and had to get these ideas on paper.
