Used to Be

Change. Such an odd concept, and difficult to accept. One moment everything is golden, glittering…...perfection. Then, you blink. One second of darkness behind closed eyes and people, places, and all traces of a thought dissipate like smoke on a windy day . Gone forever. That person you thought you knew down to the tiniest of detail, is nowhere to be found. She used to be my best friend.

A loving, caring, genuine personality, with a heart made of gold. Helping out in any way, shape, or form. Her words sweet, and innocent with no trace of lies or deceivement. Practically living over at each other's houses, we spent every waking second together. Both our parents claimed the other as if we were their own child. Inseparable. Attached

The place where all friendships come to an abrupt end. High school. She got a boyfriend. It was a whole new ballgame and she was ecstatic. She had stars in her eyes as she fell completely head over heals for him. He had her wrapped around his finger and blinded to his deceitful heart. I had been left in the corner to rot and collect dust, like that old doll you outgrew when you turned twelve. Forgotten like a sock lost under the bed.

*Bzz… bzz…* “Hey, wanna go grab some food?”, is what I texted her every single weekend for about a month and a half. It was always the same simple, standard, cookie-cutter response, “I’m sorry...me and my boyfriend were gonna hangout… You understand right?” The communication began to deteriorate until it was finally extinct.the clock; every gloomy, raindrop day; every glorious, rainbow filled moment, we were together. Exchanging sacred secret upon secret, and staying up until three in the

He cheated. She came sobbing back to me. Broken. Depressed. Desperate to rekindle our lost camaraderie. Apologizing, saying it would never happen again. Begging for my forgiveness. Heartbreak was harsh on her. However, the heart is ever deaf to the brain. They were back together within a week and I was again tossed to the curb like an empty candy

    Being forced to abandon a safe haven can cause one to hopelessly cling to the memories created there. In Gerda Klein’s memoir, All But My Life, she and her family are forced to leave their house. In this excerpt, she wanders throughout her garden for one last time. She then starts to reminisce about all the memories created there and realizes that her life will never be the same again, she has truly lost the innocence that her childhood once possessed. Through the use of concrete diction and juxtaposing imagery, Klein establishes a nostalgic yet sorrowful tone to illustrate how one can cling to their past yet cannot avoid the inevitable future, which causes them to see the world around them in a new light.…

    Never has the wind blown across the barren plains. Never has a river flooded a town, without leaving victims to tell the story. When you live by yourself after waking up from a sleep that was meant to last forever, you’d walk through empty towns while thinking of those you last saw. You’d wonder why you’re alone, and why you’re not near anyone, and where everyone has gone. The last laughs of the century were long gone, with no trace of them or their owners.…

    Life is a car that drives on a deteriorating road that crumbles after you pass. It crumbles along with the places and people you meet on it. The people we meet on that road trip are mere icons in a sea of landmarks, but all of it doesn’t matter in the finale. Distance between loved ones doesn’t make them fonder of each other; on the contrary, it tears them apart. Methods of communication, like telephones and social media, and returning from the absence don’t reunite separated families and friends.…

    She didn’t remember who I was. Destroyed from the inside, and wanting to kill myself, I stopped texting her and cried by myself. It was one of the darkest days of my life. She was probably pretending because otherwise she would have said or commented about a disease she has the day I met her. My thoughts were that “She didn’t like me; she didn’t want something with me.”…

    I think everyone can relate to some sort experience that has happened in your life when you thought that all was well, but the reality was that it wasn’t. It took something really tragic to happen for you to find out that someone you loved had secrets. All of the things that you thought of that person is shattered into a million pieces and you’re left there trying to sort through them trying to choose the ones you want to hang on too and the ones that you would sweep up and throw away forever. The conversations that you have with those you love sometimes still leave unanswered answers to why someone that was supposed to take care of you decided that someone was more important than you.
