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!"
Dear Imaginary Friends...
This is my first, and probably my last post on here. I truly love the concept of Vocal, and will continue to read other contributions, but I fear that my own go far too off topic to put under one title. Sorry about that—oops. I know that in this short piece below, I quickly veer from imaginary friends, but I enjoyed writing...whatever this is, and I hope that even with all of my rambling, you enjoy reading it.

Dear Ex-Best Friend
Dear ex-best friend, I should've said these words a long time ago, but I never had the courage to speak them to your face. You were always unpredictable and I didn't know how you would react. Would you sit there calmly and process what I said? Or would you lash out and never want to see me again? I didn't know what you would do, so I bottled up everything, and that is never a good idea. You know that when I dwell on something, it never ends well. I was immature and naïve when I met you. You took me under your wing and showed me the world. You became a sister to me...but you changed. You changed a lot. You never smiled anymore. You were always telling me what to do. You never said "please." You always used command sentences or "you should..." sentences. You can't tell me what to do! No one tells me what to do! You were always getting people to pity you in some way just to get the attention that you wanted. You try to make me the enemy. You try to make me look like a bitch. I don't care. I don't regret losing you as a friend. You were manipulative and controlling. I don't know how you got people to stay your friend. I hated how smug you got when you got your way. I wanted to slap that stupid, smug smirk right off your stupid face. I resented many things about you and that resentment isn't healthy. Life is too short to hold anything against anyone.

Friendship Breakups Are Worse
I can't stand how you swan around thinking you are perfect. But knowing you, you would scoff, roll your eyes and say you are not perfect. You always fail to see your mistakes. I am no saint and I have flaws but I could never treat people the way you do. You are beginning to make a fool out of yourself. Playing the victim. Treating me like a mug, playing games and lying to my face. How did I not see your true colours before. Actually no, I knew what you were like before but I chose to overlook those characteristics because no one is perfect. If you really love someone, you should appreciate them for who they are, right? Well that's what I did, I did what you asked, what you demanded and what you hinted. I was thoughtful and considerate. But you chuck me aside, forget about me and made me question my own sanity.

Maybe They're Right... You Should Always Date Your Best Friend
These two people in this picture are not dating. They may look good together but they have never had a romantic relationship. The body language in this picture is comfortable and effortless. Feelings are not shared though. (So far as I know.) Just care and friendship.

What Not to Do If You Want to Make Friends
Friendship is a popular topic I often feature in my writing. I like to discuss how to make friends, what to do with those friends, and when to cut friends lose. Then I realized, I've never written about how to NOT make friends a.k.a things that really turn other people off. Not purposely of course, but things that you may be doing that could be preventing you from building new friendships. You may be completely clueless and have no idea why forming relationships with the women around you has been so difficult. You most likely blame those women for being stuck up a-holes but what if I told you your lack of girlfriends is all your fault? Have you been told you don't smile enough? Are you known to talk too much about yourself? Well I have narrowed it down to a few of the most common annoying traits a woman can have that will absolutely turn people away.

Why You Should Leave Toxic People in Your Past
In order for us to grow, we must make tough decisions. Where do I want to go to school? What do I want to do for the rest of my life? One of the most important questions is this; are the people that I surround myself with good for my health? The answer might seem obvious - yes. You might say that having friends is good for me, no matter what. I need to surround myself with people, because everyone needs companionship to survive. I'm here to tell you that you may not always be right.
