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 Ugly, Green Monster
We all know of the Green Monster. They've possessed us and will forever live on among us, feeding off of success stories and all the good things in life. This is dedicated to just those people who cannot, for the sake of everything, just be happy for their friends' successes.

'Don't Worry About the Bits You Can't Understand. Sit Back and Allow the Words to Wash Around You, Like Music'
Anyone who knows me will know of my obsession with Roald Dahl's Matilda, his quote regarding how books managed to transport Matilda to 'new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives', related well to me as it was also something I searched for but, little did I know that I didn't need anyone who lived an exciting life, I just had to confine in four particular women that were already present in my current life.

Bekah
Intro: If you cry, I will wipe away your tears. If you stumble, I will help you stand. If you feel like you're alone. You may be going through something that is hard to explain, just know I am here for you and always will be. I will stand by you, I will help you through, I will dry your eyes, I will fight your fight, I will hold you tight, and I WON’T let go. Your gonna make it! If you are lonely, I'll be your shadow. If you need to cry, I’ll be your shoulder. If you need a hug, my arms are open. If you need a friend, I’ll just be me.

My Best Friend Ned
When I met him, I had no idea who he would become to me. I didn't know I would have over a dozen nicknames for him, or that I would learn all his favorite foods, or that I would spend more time with him than anyone else on our team of 60+ people. This is what it's like to know him.

Long Distance Friendships Are Like Loose Change
Upon reading the title of this post, most of you may be offended. Nobody likes loose change. It's heavy, it's loud, and it takes forever to save up enough to actually be worth anything. As an adult, when you find loose change, it often ends up in a jar or a drawer and is then hidden away until it's full and you finally decide to cash it in.

Living Out Long Distance Friendships
I don’t know about you but “Long-Distance” doesn’t conjure up the best of feelings in the pit of my stomach. To me, long-distance always meant goodbyes and promises of calling each other regularly that not so slowly turned into phone tag then silence. My first experience with “long-distance” was in sixth grade when one of my closest friends moved from five minutes away to 20 minutes away- and man, let me tell you—it was ROUGH. We went from having the freedom of seeing each other practically whenever we wanted to having to plan hang outs, check our schedules AND our parents schedules, and coordinate drop off and pick ups. And don’t even get me started on the rollercoaster of emotion we both went through as she navigated her new school and made new friends (and then wanted me to MEET them, the nerve of her!). But lo and behold, that 20 minutes didn't stand a chance when it came to our friendship.

The Tsunami-ed Life (Part 3)
Everyone in your life knows you've been hit, and hard. You can't hide it no matter what you do. Even the most stoic person shows signs. The changes in behaviour may be subtle, or it might seem like you've been possessed by a body-snatcher you are so different. And everyone reacts differently.

Love Yourself First
Relationships with other people are great and they can teach you many things. Relationships can teach you what you want in future relationships and what you do not want. However, establishing a relationship with yourself first can be beneficial. Loving yourself and practicing self-love first before entering any relationship can be important.

Bookworm
I have to confess I had an ulterior motive for volunteering to look after the book stall at the village fete. Not only would I have first pick of the books, but it was nicely situated in a large tent so no matter what the weather conditions, I would be protected.
