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!"
The Pretty One
I've known my best friend for almost five years. She was the first person I had ever let in. The first person I told my secrets and who could be okay with...well me. I was new to Canada and high school and was struggling with depression and anxiety. And I wouldn't have truly met her had I not said something about Supernatural in the girl's locker room.

Too Late to Be Sad
Too Late to be Sad She posted the old pictures on her Snapchat story for the old friend’s birthday. She didn’t really know why she did it. They weren’t even friends on Snapchat so it’s not like her friend would see the pictures and remember. You know, remember all the good times; all the laughs and songs and sleepovers and all the times they both knew, without a doubt, that they were the best of best friends.

A Letter to My Best Friend
Dear Best, Thank you for entering my life. I strongly believe in having "a person," and there is no better person to fit that description than you. For the last two years of my life, I have been through so many different stages, like graduating, falling out with friends, a new school, and through all of the good and bad times, you have been with me. I couldn't thank you enough for that. To me, it is so important for your friends to be proud of you when you get a new job, learn something new, or just accomplish big things. But it's also really important for your friends to just be proud that you got out of bed that day, so today, January 7, I am so proud of you for waking up and just having a day!

Even Meredith Grey Had a Tribe of People
A person is someone that you share everything with. Someone who holds your hand when you're sad, who dances with you to blow off steam, who protects your heart more than you protect your own, who binge eats and watches movies with you, who loves you unconditionally. Your person might be you sister or brother, your best friend, your mom or you aunt. It could quite literally be anyone who loves you more than life itself. I used to believe that you could only have one person in your life, and now I'm starting to see things a little different. I don't have just one person in my life to fulfill all these things and more. I have a group of people. A tribe. My tribe.

Broken Halos
This really isn't a story, more of I need to get this off my chest. On January 5, 2018 is exactly 9 months you've left us, it also happens, that January 5 is my birthday. It saddens me every day that I don't get to see you or talk to you. It leaves a dark space in my heart that will never regain the glowing bright red it used to be.

You're Perfect on Paper, So Why Don't I Like You?
Recently I made a new friend. I was introduced to him through a mutual friend and he’s pretty dang awesome. We’ll call my new friend Carter. Carter is pretty great, we immediately hit it off (I’m pretty sure he hits it off with most people) and we’ve hung out several times in a group and a couple of times just the two of us. I have zero idea if he sees me as anything other than a friend. But that’s not the point of this article. The point of this article is... he’s kind of great on paper, yet I don’t feel anything for him, except that he’s a cool dude. And believe me, “cool dude” basically equates to the friendzone. *For the record I believe the friendzone is when Person A specifically tells Person B how they feel and Person B responds with telling Person A they are such a good friend (cool dude) or they are like a sibling to them* so he’d only end up in the “friendzone” if he expressed romantic interest in me... but I digress.
