friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
Signs of Fake Friends
More often than not when we don’t have a good supportive family, we rely on friends for support. However sometimes we befriend people who are far from loyal and are not genuine. Fake friends live for themselves and use you for their personal gain. Sadly often it takes time to realize this and when it is realized letting go of the friend is hard. However always remember, you are not losing a friend but rather letting go of a hater. Here are five types of fake friends you might encounter. Some seem mutually inclusive but there are subtle differences.

Everyone has standards for the people they want to date. It's human nature to know what you want. These are things we're willing to accept in our relationships and, conversely, the parts of a person we can't overlook.

Three Old Friends Having Lunch Together In Small Town USA
Trips to the boundary waters canoe area (BWCA) have always been great fun for us three. Even as we have aged, we have continued. Not as often or even not the same trip, and yet, we still go. This year two of us are going.

Maybe its meditation maybe I'm Just High?
I think collectively we could all recall at least a dozen memories from different points in our life, that’s easy. You think of the nostalgia for a bit and let it wave over you. Remembering playing silly games with neighborhood kids, Saturday morning cartoons, the first day of middle school, your first real crush.

What To Do If You Fall In Love With Your Best Friend
I used to believe that falling in love with your best friend only happened in television shows or motion pictures. Do people really just discover their soulmate is the person who has never given them boners when they wake up one day?

What Would Dr. B. Do?
What Would Dr. B Do? Remembering My Academic Father Figure Today is Father’s Day. I don’t know why, but I feel like it’s time to finally write about Dr. B. To say that Dr. B. was a genius would not be enough of a compliment. To say that he was a mentor to me would be a criminal understatement. He was a second father. And I still have a hard time dealing with the thought that I should have spent more time with him. Dr. B. looked like Odin, the wise father of the Norse gods. He was big, with a thick, white beard. He was also as wise as Odin… and as jolly as Santa Claus. A lot of people made those comparisons. He knew everything. He knew when you were sleeping; he knew when you were awake (at least, when you were in his class). He knew who had been good or bad (in terms of documenting sources). One time he asked me to grab something from his office and I found a Santa suit hanging on the inside of the door. He said that he played Santa for a local charity, but I had a suspicion that he was the real deal. Professors get a few weeks off during the holiday season, so he would have had time to wrangle elves and finish his gift deliveries with a couple of weeks left to prepare for Spring Semester courses.

Renaissance Festival War Stories: Newbourne June 10/11/12, 2022
Friday June 10, 2022 It's six AM. I pick up Nestor from his home. He says, "It's six AM. We have a full tank of gas. And a half a pack of cigarettes (neither of us smoke). Let's do this." I already knew Nestor was my brother and best friend. I had been looking forward to this weekend for quite some time, but in the first thirty seconds of this weekend, Nestor made the right joke to tell me one thing: this was going to be awesome.

The Hug
The Hug The next day couldn’t get here fast enough. I just couldn’t wait to get to school to give back this device to Jackie and to see the expression on her face when she sees that it was fixed. I’ve seen Jackie smile a few or more times and she has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. Her smile is what I would call ‘enchanting’. It is something that draws me to her to the point where I just can’t even fathom looking away. I guess in a way, her smile is magical. I know all this may seem a bit cliché’, but she had the whole package and it was very difficult to not notice this.

I Was Stuck in the Acquaintance-Zone
Recently, I published a story on Medium, where I talk about my experiences with friendships and friendship breakups. As most people, it was always difficult for me to handle the loss of some friendships, because I thought that the best way for me to prove that I was friendly is having long-term friendships.
