A letter to my ex best friend…
i miss you
i miss you, i miss how we used to be. i miss the friendship we had. i don’t want to have to admit it’s over. i don’t want to have to just live off the memories we shared. i want to us to be as we were and i know I just have to grow up and realise change is going to happen and there’s nothing i can do about it. i know when you told us you told us about him things were going to change and i know i should’ve prepared myself for the fact that you would drift, the only reason i didn’t was because i thought our friendship was strong enough to with hold a new relationship and nothing would really change but i was really wrong. i was really wrong. everything has changed your distant and i don’t think you realise how much it hurts to not be close to you, to not be best friends because as my much as I don’t want to admit it we aren’t anymore, it’s awkward between us and I don’t know what to do. i feel like i can’t do anything to try and get back to where we used to be. i’m scared the broken friendship we now have is going to stay that way forever and that terrifies me because I love you like a sister but i know i’ve tried i know i have tried really hard to get back to where we were but i don’t feel like you are that bothered anymore it’s like you got him and forgot about me. I’m trying, trying to save our deteriorating friendship but still you aren’t really that bothered i don’t know what to do anymore i miss you even when your there and it never really feels like you are even if your standing right in front of me. i don’t know i just had to write this I’m sick of being the only one who’s bothered about us drifting and not being best friends, I used to not be able to think of a future where we’re not friends but now it’s getting harder to think of one where we are, it’s been months now since we’ve been the same and I don’t know how much longer I can go on with this. I just had to put all my emotions down and get it all out. I miss you…
This was a text message i wrote to my bestfriend a few days ago… but I never hit send. I was too scared of the outcome and what she would say but I knew I wanted to share it and maybe get or share some advice, so if you’ve been through something like this with your besfriend please leave me some advice I don’t know what more I can do, I don’t want to loose the friendship but it’s a two way thing. Anyway any help would be appreciated – stereotypicalxteen
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
