Sometimes you need a place to think over life and just prepare yourself for what could be next. Find a place that can be yours. Just yours and treasure it.

It’s summer for me.

I should be relaxing and having fun and enjoying the sun and just making the most of my vacation... but I’m not. I’m working and taking an online class (that is way harder than I thought it’d be!!) and I’m EXHAUSTED.

But even though I am tired and just want a break, I am learning so much more about life than I would otherwise.

I hope y’all are enjoying your summers.

But I think, sometimes, this is how some of the best friendships form. We all start as strangers

Sometimes you just need an escape

We change, but life goes on

You’re different.

That’s the first thought in my head when my old best friend started talking.

You’re different.

She and I used to be partners in crime. No one could get in our way. We felt invincible. She and I were mermaids, fairies, wizards, pioneers, singer and songwriter, anything we wanted to be together. All because we were best friends.

Things started to change when we found a group. Now instead of having one friend I could rely on, I had three. We grew apart a little, but we still kept finding our way back to each other. In our biggest times of need, we always had each other.

We still shared secrets that our other friends would never know. We bared our souls... until we didn’t. I started with my own secrets then realized she had her own.

She changed. Her jokes changed. Her tastes changed. So we changed.

Our friendship will always be in my mind and heart, but we will never be the same because she’s different.

But so am I.

First Love

I always thought my first love was the boy who held my hand in nineth grade and asked me to be his.

I thought that my first love was made concrete when he texted me while we were miles away in summer “I love you”.

I thought my first love broke my heart when we stopped kissing after school, and became ghosts to each other in the hallways…

It wasn’t until I lost my brother that I realized first loves don’t come later in life, they’re ingrained in you since birth.

My first loves were the people who taught me to talk, and walk, and to love books over movies.

My first loves became the people I wanted to grow up to be, the big brother I could never keep up with,

When he became a ghost, no amount of crying or dressing up and drinking could take away the pain.

No amount of screaming until my throat was raw or blasting Taylor Swift could fill the hole left in my heart.

First loves aren’t always people you find along the way,

They’re often people who were always yours,

And in your heart, they’ll always stay.
