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!"
Best Friends
Friendship is the weirdest thing ever, you pick a person and you bring them into your life, share all your deepest darkest secrets with them and treat them better than you treat your own family. It's a strange thing but it's also a much-needed thing for human survival. Socializing is good for your psyche and your soul. You get to vent and complain about your life without being judged. You get to go on adventures and do silly random things with someone who is exactly like you so there's no awkwardness. Friendship is much needed to get through this crazy wild ride of life.

Friendship
I've never quite understood the concept of friendship. As a child, most of your friends come from family such as cousins or siblings or your parents friends kids. If you're lucky enough you grow up together and your bond becomes stronger and the relationship lasts a life time. But if you're like me, it doesn't turn out that way.

Some Hurt More Than Others
I got my first tattoo within days of turning 18 at a shady tattoo parlor with my 17 years senior half brother's then girlfriend. It was the small logo of Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz's short lived clothing line Clandestine Industries on my lower back and it was crooked. But I was still a senior in high school and it was like hidden rebellion in a southern school that insisted girl's shorts be no more than three inches above the knee, tank top straps be three adult finger widths wide, and no "unnatural" hair colors were allowed.

The Arena of Life
The crowd cheered loudly as they watched two armored gladiators fight to the death. They could hear the ringing of metal and the shouts of the two men as they traded blows. Some of the crowd members were screaming over each other to be heard--they cheered furiously as they rooted their champion on. The crowd’s cheers were annoying; they were like a thousand flies all buzzing around a carcass. The two men ignored them. They were too focused on fighting each other--any distraction could prove fatal if they paid attention to the crowd. The gladiators were in the Colosseum. The greatest spectacle in Rome. This was not just a game. It was life and death. Only one could come out on top; and that person had to be the strongest and the fiercest fighter.

The Anchor, The Octopus, The Moon, and the Star
I was 20 years old in the year 2011. I was a sophomore at St. John’s College, one of the most prestigious schools in my home state of New Mexico. Born and raised in Santa Fe, I was too chola for my classmates, but I was also too nerdy for my fellow locals. Some people called me a “townie”, others called me “pretentious.” Although I still lived at home, I would usually crash with my college friends instead, preferring their company over my dysfunctional family in an overcrowded house in the downtown barrio.

When I was 13, my best friend decided to start calling me marsupial. She has a tendency to make associations about people, and then come up with ridiculous new names to identify them. When we met, I had just moved from Australia to the US, and given that my actual name starts with the letters m-a-r-i-s...it was essentially inevitable at that point.

Married and straight life man gets in love with straight best mate
Last years wasn't easy, I got to the point I was exhausted and needed some support. I wasn't finding the right way to ask for help cause for my whole life I was fearing being considered weak, or irresponsible as man, husband and father.

To Our Mutual "Friends"
Our Friday nights at church were something I always held dear to my heart. Church was my safe place. I looked forward every week to catching up with all of you and finding out what was going on in each of your lives. He was there too; my ex I mean.
