    How to {And Why You Should} Cut Out Toxic Friends

    Friendships are a bank account. And when you continue to overdraw your bank account, it is terminated. Why shouldn’t friendships? Toxic friends overdraw your friendship account over and over again, and it’s finally time to close your account. Over the years I’ve seen a multitude of different therapists. Each one tells me the same thing: Get rid of that toxic friend. My naturally helpful, here-for-the-underdog personality has given me a handful of toxic friends who continue to

    Female Seeking Brunch Buddy

    Adulthood is weird. You have to work to live, you have bills, your metabolism is now a laugh, and making friends is hard. Unless you have a workplace or a social activity filled with similar minds, it’s hard to meet people. You have to really put yourself out there to create friendships, and even more effort needs to go in to maintain them. That is hard! As a new adult in the world, I am discovering this and am finding myself in a slump while I seek brunch buds and shopping p

    Friendships & Relationships & Me

    This past weekend was one of the best I’ve had in a while because I got to see two of my favourite people. And seeing them both back-to-back really opened my eyes to friendship, relationships, and how they relate to me. The first friend I saw I’ve known for about a decade and has been one of the people closest to me for the last four years. She’s seen all of my ups and downs and knows how much I’ve changed. She knows me from before college, to the person I was during my year

    Swatting Bad Friends Like Flies

    I will start this out saying I am not a perfect friend. And I will continue that by saying that while I am not the perfect friend, I do have some pretty high standards for the people I keep close relationships to. It all comes down to self-worth and the higher your self-worth is the better company you want to keep. And that’s why recently I’ve been sorting through good and bad friends in hope of keeping my circle up with my own self-worth. First off, there are varying tiers o

    How to Be My Friend

    After a recent spat with a friend, what friendship means to me (and what I look for in a friend) has been on my mind quite a bit. From years of gaining and losing friends, watching endless numbers of films, and just observing how the world goes through other forms of art and stories, we learn how we want to be treated. By the time we are teenagers, or even later depending on the individual, we know ourselves pretty well to know how we want our lives to go. We understand the t

    Friendship, the Purest Form of Love

    Today during my Honors English II class we started to redo our explanative speeches from last year for those who received low scores. Halfway through, I turned to my friend and started to talk about the speech I had given, which had been about what friendship is. The two of us (my friend and I) talked about this subject for awhile and it made me think that friendship is a great many things. As my friend and I agreed, friendship is sitting in silence for an hour together and n

    Friends, Plain and Simple

    A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are ~ Unknown No matter where I might be, or who I might be with, or whatever emotion I might be feeling, friends are always there. Honestly, they are the greatest of them all. I am blessed with the most amazing friends in the world. Honestly, they are so amazing and I look to the heavens to think about how truly lucky I am. They make my day better when no one else can, th
