Do you believe the following quote is true? “Love between true friends knows no distance”. At age 11, my best friends moved out of state. I was told in the summer that they would be moving that fall and I didn’t know what was going to happen. But looking back, I learned that even though friends may be far away, they will always be in my heart.

Before this ever happen we knew each other for years. We did everything together. How it all started is my Mom needed a babysitter. Julie found out and her family offered to watch me. After a while we became friends. Growing up with each other we started to do things, like going to church, going to school events and visiting their other friends. At Christmas time we would

Shannon and Julie told the troop. That’s when I lost it, I balled. I was sad, lost and I didn’t know how to say goodbye. All I knew was I had to spend all the time as possible with them.

I felt depressed. I spent no time with other friends I would maybe do homework or just lay in bed crying or thinking. The person that I used to be was gone, nothing but a shell was left. I didn’t joke around anymore and my relationship with God was different. I got in a bad group of friends. I didn’t leave that group until 9th grade, But I still try to help them without getting myself too involved. Around Valentine's Day I started to feel better. It was funny timing because it is Julie middle name. I started to realize I’ve wasted months and I realize it wouldn’t bring them back. We start to facetime. It gave me something to be happy about and excited for instead of being sad. Even though facetiming them was great, it was not the same as seeing them in person. Little did I know, I was go to see them again soon. On the last day of school for that year, one of my teachers told me “You have a visitor in the office.” I asked “Who?” “Go and find out.” I went the the office. “Hmmm, no one is here.” I thought. I went back to class. Mrs. B, “Found them?” “No” I said. “Keep looking.” she said. So I looked and when I turned a corner, I saw three figures. I could tell it was Julie and Jordan talking to someone. I frozed. Here was the family that I missed so much. Jordan and I saw each other and hugged. I turned around and saw Shannon was coming up to me. We hugged. Later, I saw Scott. We high fived each other. They stayed for the summer and

I can remember sitting in the living room in a tan recliner facing the Tv. When I heard the phone ring the first time, it was around ten o’clock in the morning; I looked over to see my mom running to the home phone that used to sit on the desk in the laundry room. It rang three times before my mom answered.…

    The Epic of Gilgamesh was written over 4100 years ago and is an epic that is still relevant to life in the 21st Century. There are multiple reasons for this, such as the characters, the topics, and the themes addressed in the story. The main theme at this point of the story was: your worst enemies can one day be your best friends. This is very true because, in real life, many of our best friends were once our worst enemies, and the hate that once tied us together slowly morphs into mutual respect, or love.…

    I never thought that anyone would miss me. Everybody only saw me on Sundays and nobody except maybe Olivia seriously considered me their best friend. I cut off all communication to my colleagues back at my old church. I waited for a call, an email, or anything that showed that they were thinking about me. I never thought that I would be the one hurting, that I would wake up each morning without the motivation to try to pursue anything but eating, school, and sleeping.…

    We all listened to the same bands, loved the same teen heartthrob, and all had a similar personality. It took losing a core group of friends of mine transitioning into freshman year to show me that it’s okay to be your own person. I will say freshman year was a huge struggle for me to go through without being friends with the people that I had grown closest to in the 8th grade and years prior to 9th grade, but in the long run it has benefitted me more than I could have ever imagined that year. I now am not afraid to be alone sometimes and not always hang out with a group of people or one person every weekend. I’m okay with spending time by myself just relaxing in my room or grabbing some lunch at bread co by myself when I can.…
