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 That You Might Have a Toxic Best Friend
If you are here, most likely you’re curious. Don’t worry. It’s not an uncommon thing to have a toxic person enter your life. Don’t be ashamed if you never realized it before — sometimes it could take years for a person to catch on to what's really going on with who they thought was their best friend.

Sunshine and Magnolia flowers.
Marlee entered the garden holding her mother’s hand. This was Anna’s third attempt at helping her daughter overcome her newfound fear of the dark. Marlee had never feared much, the seven-year-old often boasted not being scared at the haunted houses on Halloween, she enjoyed playing scary games, and even slept without a nightlight most of her young life. Recently, though, Marlee had found herself fumbling through the dark in the middle of the night to crawl up into her parents' bed.

Dethroned
On the hilltop grew a marigold. It hadn’t always been there and its existence was quite remarkable. It began with a small, old women named Vira. Her skin was tanned and wrinkled but her eyes twinkled when she talked and she had a lively wit. She could tell you where to shove it and do it with such clever humor that you would feel compelled to thank her.

The Hole In The Dam
Danny grew up at Misty Vale Apartments, just downstream from the old stone dam. The water from the dam crashed down in a white froth to fill a small pool at its base, which drained into the river. Towering stone ledges supported the dam, and the pond behind it.

Miss Marigold
Marjorie looked at the gorgeous golden-orange flower. She felt fearful, anxious, dismal, and dull. Her nerves had been numb for some time. She repressed the urge to burst into tears. How could something so bright and beautiful dare to exist? It was as if the flower was poking out of the ground merely to mock her existence. Where had she gone wrong in her life? What had she done that she could not be this meticulously detailed, vibrant flower, but instead the shell of a human being who was once alive? When did she become a mere cog in the machine?

Garden of Nede
By the bank of the river in the warm springs morning I watched the animals entertain the garden, the bumbling bees amongst the rivers soft breeze, the chirping of birds.

Dating My Best Friend
Kate Blackwell and me were five years old when we first met each other. We were always together. Also known for making trouble. Always getting into and messing with things we knew we shouldn't be messing with. Not one day did we go with out seeing each other. But now we're adults and i'm starting to see my best friend as something much more. Thing is we've been friends for a very long time and there is a possibility that our friendship might not work out if we start dating and it doesn't work out between us. But i like her way to much to not take a chance and try anyway. So i need to think of a way to ask her out and quick cause she's coming over in two hour.

The meaning of Marigolds
There were once two good friends. Their names were Theodore and Nathan. Despite the fact that they had fought consistently over the most trivial of issues, they still kept their friendship strong. They decided to their love of arguing for wages against one another to make a sport of it. One of the arguments they had, was about the symbolism of a flower. A Marigold to be precise. Nathan said that its just a flower that has great symbolism towards the sun. Theodore believed that it had several symbolic means, with the symbolism of the sun being one of them. Nathan had told Theodore that he was crazy. There is no way a flower can have multiple meanings.
