The Person I Am Essay

He wasted 11 years of her life just to cheat on her. She explained to me that she went through his phone when he was sleeping and seen the proof. During that week, Brian became cold and heartless. My mom wanted to fight for their love but he didn’t want to anymore. He was done with her.

We had been best friends since we were babies, but as we grew older, she became competitive and just plain mean. For years, I had several negative incidences my “best friend.” We are no longer friends because I couldn’t take the emotional stress the friendship was putting on my life; now she’s “just somebody that I used to know.” During our middle school years, she tried to tear me down as much as possible.

After two weeks, they ended up coming back home. It was not the right decision by my Dad to let her come back, since the damage had already been done.
