A Broken Friendship
A famous French proverb goes “love brings distance to friendship”, a sad fact most people in the world face. I indeed had experienced a tragic love that made the friendship between the love of my life and me distant. It was one day, when a dramatic moment of refusal happened to my confession that made a remote distance between my love and me, which made me promise never to love again.
It was one day when I saw a gorgeous girl standing beside me. Every time I took a glance of her beauty, it was as if roses were falling. I with no hesitation went closer to her and introduced myself. As time flew by, we became closer, and I even started becoming friends with her friends. A strong and sudden wave of courage pushed me to confess to her my feelings. To put into action the confession, I went shopping with my friend, Denver. I bought clothes that I thought would make me look better; I then learned how to play the guitar. Together

A boy and a girl who promised to be best friends were not even friends anymore, because of a crazy little thing called love. I may not have shown it to others but living and seeing her with other boys was like living my life in hell. Many told me that there are plenty of fish in the sea and I just had to look for another. I strongly agreed that there were and are plenty fish in the sea, but there was nothing I could do because she was the only fish I could see in the sea. She was the only girl I could think of everyday and she was the only girl I could love—these were the reasons why her refusal hurt so badly. I fought with this pain trying to move on, but I could not do it. It was not that easy for me to think of it just as a past event. It was not a lie that time started healing the pain, but the scar was still there and she was the only person who could wash away the scar. So I just had to continue living my life as if nothing had happened to
Krisi came from Albania to live with my family for a couple of years. I have a lot in common with Krisi, we both are very out of the box thinkers and we both are quite curious and creative people, like two friends playing Minecraft and maybe that was why I felt persuaded to tell her anything and everything I knew. I gravitated to her quickly, I felt a deep connection with her and to this day we’re like two sisters who share the same thoughts but from all the way across the world and that's why I had decided to tell her. We were driving up the hill on a foggy day after my figure skating practice and the words just tumbled out of my mouth so effortlessly like someone else was saying them for me, but that wasn't the surprise and when she told me that for years she thought about the same thing, it was truly mesmerizing. I longed to find another person close enough and eligible enough to tell my thoughts to but somehow on this random day the words came out like I had worked so hard yet I only needed so

Strong essay- Well chosen quotes with Is friendship really necessary in life ? In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck the main characters George and Lennie are best friends who travel through California looking for a stable job and a stable place to live during the time of the Great Depression. Throughout the book both George and Lennie’s friendship is questioned because of Lennie’s mental disability and during this time everybody works for himself to save money and settle down.

At some point in life, one will encounter a time where they were in love. Love may bring the good or bad out of you. It may have a positive or negative effect on someone or the person they share relations with. In some cases love is not for everybody, for the simple fact that people tend to force what is not meant to be which can bring tension upon a couple who may have had a great friendship. In the
For her privacy, I'll refer to her as Rin. I was happy for the first few months, but the relationship became suffocating later on. Rin wanted my undivided attention at all times of the day. In addition, Rin had severe anxiety. My love for Rin slowly died and obligation took its place. I felt obliged to stay with her. It's nauseating that I felt this way, but what else could I do? I thought that I had to stay with Rin to keep her safe from herself. As a result, I stayed with her, not as a lover, but a caretaker. One evening with friends, Rin demanded we leave, for Rin didn't like that she had to share me. I couldn't deal with her distancing me from friends anymore. I called Rin and cut all ties between us and our mutual friends. I gave her neither chance for dialogue nor reprisal, just like Paul Neruda. In hindsight, I didn't love her. Because I am a loser who has no chance in love, I was more in love with the idea of a girlfriend. As a result, I didn't love Rin, I loved my girlfriend. If I had truly had feelings for Rin, I would've resolved my problems through dialogue, not by running away like a
She doesn’t know this, but she changed my life. She was there for me when it seemed like no one else was. When most of my friends were dissolving around me and I just didn’t feel like I could do anything right, she was there, and she made everything seem okay. It didn’t matter that I was inevitably going to graduate with a GPA a tenth of a point lower than I wanted, or that my director told me that he was disappointed in me because I just didn’t seem focused lately, or that my other friends just weren’t talking to me anymore. It didn’t matter because she was there and she made me feel safe. She’s my best friend, and I love her and admire her for so many different reasons.
People should not have to stay in friendships they don't want to, but a one time thing is different then all the time. Make sure that you are around people that make you feel good. I had some experience with both of these.
The twelfth question was, “How many close friends would you say you have now; Has the number of close friends changed over time”? My grandmother said she has about three close friends that she works with and that number has changed over the past few years. My grandfather said he only has one close friend that he keeps in contact with from previous work, and the number of friends also has changed over time. The last individual said she only has four close friends that she gained from work and the number of friends has changed over time.
For generations, traditional families consisting of a husband and wife raising children together has been a mainstay of civilization. Even the term “nuclear family” was coined, just earlier this century, to describe and promote such an arrangement. With current divorce rates increasing in the United States, negative implications of breaking up family units is starting to be seen on a much more visible scale. Often, parents who consider divorce do not foresee the long term effects it may have, specifically the effects on individual children and the adults they will grow to be. Although divorce may seem like an easy opt out for unhappy parents, it opens a door to the tragedies inside their children’s mental and social health causing damaging changes in their academic achievement, relationships with parents, and their emotional and physical behavior.
No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever. Like footsteps on a beach. People come in and out of our lives, leaving us changed in some shape or form. Like footsteps along our trail of destiny.
A friend is someone difficult to find. A friend is someone you can always count on when times are tough. The dictionary's definition of a good friend is a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard. A good friend is there when you are struggling. For example, when a boy breaks your heart a good friend walks you through it and offers a shoulder to cry on. According to Bree Neff, a good friend is someone who is trustworthy, doesn't talk behind your back, listens to your problems, gives good advice and tries to lend humor along with his or her support. There are also bad friends, those who pretend to care and then turn around gossiping and starting drama. Good and bad friends are all around you, involved in your everyday life. To find good friends you should look for such traits as being kind, trustworthy, loyal and dependable.
I never knew how complicated it was to have both a close knit group of friends, and a relationship until the week that I lost it. It was truly one of the hardest decisions I 've ever had to make and also the most disappointing. It was a necessary choice that I felt was right for myself, my friends on the other hand could disagree. The last thing I would have expected was that my best friends would tell me to choose between them and someone I had feelings for, over the petty facts of choosing to go out with my boyfriend over them. To think seven years went down the drain for that, boggles my mind.
"Isn't it funny how you can think you're completely over someone, but if you drive past his house, stumble upon a meaningful song you both shared, or even catch a glance of him on the street, just in an instant, it can change all that, and you start to remember the pain. And that hollow space is feeling more and more like the Grand Canyon with every second that goes by. But you bury these feelings deep down, so deep that you're sure no one will be able to tell. To the outside world, you smile and act like nothing is wrong or will ever be. Everything's just perfect. And you go along your merry way, all the while home realizing how much you do miss him, how much you still love him... and it sticks with you for days, weeks, maybe months, until fate decides to hand you another one of these unexpected moments. And then you finally understand the worst feeling in the world is when the person you love the most is standing right next to you, yet you can never have them."
