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!"

How Does My Best Friend Not Hate me?
My name is Danielle. I am 20 years old but this story goes all the way back to when I was in my Sophomore in high school. Well I guess that was only 4 years ago but after living through the year 2020, it feels like forever ago.

How Not Giving a Damn What People Think Will Have You Feeling Amazing
There is no greater time in one’s life when that person refuses to give a damn about what others think of them. Sadly, this often takes longer for many people than for others. Some never achieve this wonderful milestone.

The Cribbage Tournament
Non-Fiction - 2,200 words The year was 1991 and we didn't know anything. But we knew we needed to try, so, we found things worth our effort. We were an audacious 12, or as audacious as 12-year-olds can be in rural Wisconsin. Something about audacity requires an audience to be fully realized. There was no one around to realize us, or who had time to dote on us, so we doted on ourselves. We taught ourselves all the games and then got good at our favorites. Jeff and I found cribbage to be of certain stimuli; the combination of math, strategy, and trash talk was too much to ignore. Could it be the perfect game? Well-paced for chatting, or with drinking-as I would later learn. But when I was 12, I was all about winning, and the pride that comes with besting your friends.

Fizzled Sparks
There were once sincere words and shared feelings between us, though it seems impossible to remember now. What once could have been is now out of the question. We can try to place the blame, looking over it all with a fine tooth comb in some twisted hope to figure out who did what and how we should feel. Though it seems futile when we both have long ago lost any possible seeds of friendship that could have grown. We are left with a field of weeds and dried up soil that could never be mended. A crop of dust and dead plants is all that remains.

The Forgotten Friend
I’m used to being left behind. It’s kind of common for me. I don’t know if people are just afraid to talk about my limitations or walk around eggshells when it comes to accessibility. I wish I knew why. I wish someone would tell me why I’m often left out and not included.

I'm too busy
Hands in the air if you have been guilty of saying to someone that you are too busy or that you've been too busy... I imagine that most people reading this have used that excuse on more than one occasion. I've used it multiple times across my lifetime but not for many years now and this is why...it's f***ing irritating. Everyone is busy and those that use this reason not to meet are to be avoided at best, shunned at most.

Thanksgiving life! Be grateful to all those who love you
The fate of life comes from reality and also exists in the network. It is known that some people who have marital ownership and real emotional ownership occasionally encounter love on the network under the lack of dull or unhappy emotion in life. The entanglement between real marital emotion and dreamy network love makes people painful on the edge and hard to love. Being impacted by the pressure of thoughts, I hide in the dark and don't know what to do. Fall in love with people who should not love and dare not love, but fall in love! Why bother to stir up dust when you are empty? There was nothing.

Life needs to pretend to be confused
The team I work in is a maintenance team with more than 20 people, which can also be said to be a big family. Everyone lives and works together every day. It is inevitable to have differences and contradictions over time. As the old saying goes, "it's hard for honest officials to break household chores." in the large group of teams and groups, I generally take a cold treatment and pretend to be confused to resolve contradictions and resolve contradictions, so as to achieve the original intention of uniting the staff of the group to jointly complete the maintenance and overhaul tasks.

Cherish you as usual
Su Qing said, "women are not friends enough. No matter how good two women are, if one of them gets married, friendship will go to the grave."

I Learned Euchre At Ma Bell
MA BELLE The telephone company where I began working at the age of seventeen was a great employer with opportunities for women. In those times it was allowed, and the woman hiring manager asked me the question, “If I hire you, are you going to get pregnant and quit?” Those were the days prior to laws against such personal questions.
