So much has happened over the last 24 years and so much has been learned. Some people that are older may look at me and think I do not have much worldly knowledge being a 24 year old. However, I would like to set them straight and prove that I have gained some worldly knowledge and experience over my lifetime so far.

These weren’t friends I felt like I could open up to on a personal level. Currently, I only have two friends now that are from high school.

She would take a bullet for me if she had too and the relationship is mutual in that sense. She isn’t just a friend or a best friend; instead she is like a sister. Someone I know who will always have my back no matter. The two friendships that I have are the only ones I need. Growing up it becomes challenging to juggle school, work, family, and friends. It is hard enough trying to keep a few people updated on my life, let alone any more than that. It is important to make sure that the people we do select to have in our lives not only enrich us, but also respect and love
