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!"
Love Yourself First
Relationships with other people are great and they can teach you many things. Relationships can teach you what you want in future relationships and what you do not want. However, establishing a relationship with yourself first can be beneficial. Loving yourself and practicing self-love first before entering any relationship can be important.

Bookworm
I have to confess I had an ulterior motive for volunteering to look after the book stall at the village fete. Not only would I have first pick of the books, but it was nicely situated in a large tent so no matter what the weather conditions, I would be protected.

I Needed Someone Like You...
When I was a little girl, I was bullied; bullied for what I looked like, bullied for the way my face was, for how fat I was. People always said the meanest words to me. Being called a pig, a cow, poison, because I had freckles. I was a nobody to them. Forty four kids called me names and bullied me on a daily basis. It was hard and difficult to deal with.

What No One Tells You When You Lose Your Best Friend. Top Story - July 2019.
A few weeks into March of 2017, I got a phone call from my oldest/longest standing friend I have to date. Andrew Swain and I met in middle school when we were 11 years old and are still friends to this day, 20 years later. We rarely talk on the phone, if ever, and mainly keep in touch when I go back home to Colorado every year or so. I remember being at the dog park with Maya when I saw Andrew’s name come up on my phone. My mind always immediately thinks the worst and this time was no different. “Andrew’s calling me, this can’t be good,” I thought to myself. And it wasn’t.

Friendships
Having friends, being a friend, and friendships are arduous for me. Oftentimes I see myself feeling annoyed, judging, or comparing myself to the friendships I have experienced. In this moment I counted on my hands how many women I could truly say to myself have been a friend to me, whether our relationship is intact or transformed for us to go our separate ways. The number is under 10 women, and before I would think how lame of me to not have an overwhelming amount of friends or people that know me. As I have gotten older I see my relationship to women in friendships have been a struggle because of the relationship to my mother. Although my relationship with my mother has changed in ways that support us, I continue to come to a road block with some of the women I choose to bring in my life as friends.
