A Thank You Note To My Best Friend

Dear best friend,
Thank you for sticking by me through thick and thin. We've been through so much together and no matter what, you've always had my back.

You listen to my drama without judgment, give me the advice I need to hear as opposed to the advice I want to hear, and you always keep me laughing when I want to cry.

When I wanted to throw in the towel and stop fighting, you encouraged me to keep going and to never ever give up. You always know what to say and when to say it. Whether it's a word of encouragement or a simple 'I love you', your words always help me get through the day.

I don't know where I would be without your unconditional love and devoted friendship. Life is better because I have you. I love you.

To the person who saved my life

Image
When I first met you, I had no idea just how badly I needed you. I knew I needed someone, but I never expected you to be that person. I was walking around with so much darkness hanging over me. My mind was spiraling out of control and, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop it. I put on a front for everyone, but you saw past my smile. I had never felt as comfortable with anyone else as I did with you. I had so many walls up, but one by one, you knocked them all down. You made me feel so safe and so loved, and I knew I could trust you when I couldn't trust anyone else. Though it took a little while, once I started opening up to you, you listened without judgment. You never rushed our conversations or made me feel like I was a burden to you. You showed me that I was loved and that you truly cared. You gave me exactly what I needed and, unbeknownst to you, you saved my life in the process. I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for you and your unconditional love. Y

What happens when your parents leave

Image
When one or both of your parents leave and abandon you, you have to live with it for the rest of your life. I never thought that it would affect every relationship I would ever have, but it did. Be it friendship or a romantic relationship, I always wonder when they'll be leaving. Because if my own parent could leave me, why would anyone else want to stay? I, sometimes, find myself questioning my self worth. Am I good enough for anyone? Will I ever be? I mean, truly good enough. Will my friends decide one day they no longer want me around? Will my husband randomly decide he doesn't love me anymore? Do they really love me or do they just say they do to make me feel better? Do I really make them happy or are they just putting on a front? Some say they can't imagine life without me. Is that true? Or will they suddenly decide their life will be better without me, as they walk away? All of these feelings stem back to being left and abandoned by the one who never should hav

To the Dad Who Didn't Want Me

Derrick, I honestly don't even know where to begin or what to say. I've been sitting here, staring at a blank page for a good 30 minutes, praying the words would just come to me. My brain and heart have been fighting with each other quite a bit the last few days. Part of me wants to just forget you ever existed and keep going with life as always. The other part of me cares too much and wants you to know it. I've hated you my entire life and I'm just so sick of it. I'm sick of always wondering how things would be if you had actually cared and loved us enough to stick around and be a parent. I'm sick of having feelings from time to time of not being good enough. If I had been good enough, you would have stuck around, or at least tried harder to have a relationship with me. None of that matters now, though. I have been very blessed with an amazing father figure who has loved and raised me as his own. So I guess I should thank you for never being here. I wouldn
