When Your Coworkers Become Family, A Whole New World Begins

No matter where you work at you are bound to make friends.

You could be working in an office, you could be working retail, you could be doing landscaping, etc. You and your coworkers eventually become like a big family because you spend so much time with them.

 

I’ve only ever worked retail, most times it’s been pushing carts, and bagging groceries, I worked in the deli once, but wasn’t as close with coworkers there.

 

The nice thing about having coworkers you get along with is you understand the other person. You are both stuck dealing with rude customers, or you are stuck dealing with slow customers, you even have coworkers you aren’t going to like.

 

When you bond with coworkers though it can be great. At my old job Meijer, I was the only girl who pushed carts with all guys. I felt extremely intimidated by them, but rather than them tease me and tell me I can’t do it, they worked with me, and showed me things.

 

I became best friends with a certain coworker of mine at Meijer pretty quickly, he willingly worked with me and if I was having a rough day we talked about it. He never judged me, and never made me feel bad when I screwed up.

 

Only True Besties Fight Like Sisters

To My True Bestie

You are such an integral part of my life that when I tell you that I’d be lost without you, I truly mean it. You’re so much more than my best friend, you’re my sister that I chose, you are my family. And no matter where life takes us, or how chaotic things get, you will always be in my heart.

You are like a sister to me so it’s only right that we fight like sisters, too. We bicker, we dig at each other, we steal each other’s clothes, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Sometimes I know it’s draining, tearing each other down the way we do. Picking the things we’re most insecure about and rubbing it in each other’s faces definitely hurts.

If There’s Anyone I’m Grateful For, It’s You And Our Friendship

With you in my life, everything feels so free, and happy. I can’t describe you in one word, but I can describe the affect you’ve had on my life.

 

I’ve always been a broken girl, I’ve been through a lot in my life, all of which you know. And I’ve trusted you with my life since the day we started talking. I’ve been more open with you than anyone else in my life. Anytime I feel like my life is crashing, you are there to remind me to breathe.

 

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. You’ve always been by my side through the good and the bad.

 

Whenever my depression or anxiety gets bad, you let me vent to you, no matter what time of the day it is I can text you, maybe you won’t always answer me, but the fact that you allow me to vent no matter what, helps me in so many ways.

 

I am grateful for the days we spend together, whether you are working on my car, or we are just hanging out and enjoying each other’s company, you are one of my favorite guys to hang out with. You know how to make me smile or laugh.

 

I’m Trying to Be a Good Aunt, but My Depression Is Getting the Best of Me

I’m trying to be the very best auntie for you guys, but some days my depression and anxiety get in the way. As my nieces and neohews, you are my world, the reasons I smile randomly in the middle of the day, and the light at the end of the tunnel. That’s why it breaks my heart to know I’ve let you guys down more times than I can count.

No matter how hard this life gets, you are my pride and joy. I put you above everything else and make you my #1 priority, even if people don’t always see it. There have been days I’ve promised to FaceTime or promised to stop by with a treat and I ended up getting so lost in my thoughts that I forgot.

It doesn’t mean I love you any less or that your time isn’t important to me, it’s just that sometimes my world feels a little heavier than most. I want to be your aunt that you brag about to all your friends, but I know I’m not always that person.

 

This Is How My Best Friend Deserves to Be Loved

My best friend is the most incredible girl I know, so if you take a chance on her, please don't hurt her. She’s a smartass but she has the biggest heart. Once she lets you into her life, you will be a huge part of it and will never want to leave her side. She has this caring and sweet personality that's contagious and she will do anything to make your happiness a priority.

She is always there when you need someone to lean on, or an ear to talk to. She knows the right thing to say when you feel down about yourself, or when you feel like you are going in the wrong direction. She has a heart of gold and will make feel like the luckiest guy. Because she's the kind of person that will change your life for the better. 

She's social, strong and independent. You need to be accepting of her friends, because they are a huge part of her life, and the bond that they share is not something anyone can break, not that you would want to after spending time with them. But don't worry, her heart is big enough for everyone who matters to her. Trust that you'll be her main focus. 

She has a lot of guy friends, so you have to be willing to accept that. Jealousy will just push her away. She's loyal and you can trust her. Once she's committed to someone, you will have her attention more than anyone else could.

She deserves to be happy, to have a guy who loves her for who she is, who will be understanding that she had a rough day, and just needs to vent. She deserves to be spoiled with your time and affection, to know that he is worthy of being loved just like you are. 

To the guy who chooses to love my bestie, I will still be in her life, I will want to get to know you, we don't have to be friends or talk, but I will ask her how you guys are doing, because I love knowing that she is happy. I will tell her I will hurt you if she gets hurt, the same as she would do for me if I got hurt.

Instead I'd tell her she deserves better, and that she will find love again and be happy

To the guy who loves her next: Please don't hurt her, love her for all she is worth, and don't ever let her go. She’s absolutely amazing in every way, and I promise you would be the luckiest guy to be loved by her. 

To the Guy Who Was Like a Brother to Me, I'm Sorry I Hurt You

It's heartbreaking when someone you considered to be so close to you walks out of your life. It's hard knowing you can never tell them about your day, or about how much you miss them. 

I made a hard choice with our friendship, but I wish you knew just how much I miss you, I miss the guy who used to be my brother. I know I screwed up, but I also pray that one day we could have another chance to be friends again. 

I wish you would hear me out. You have to understand that at the time I walked away, I was in a fragile state. Do you know what it feels like when the one person you trust most makes you feel worthless? Because that’s how I felt when I was around you. Maybe it wasn’t your intention, but it was definitely how I felt. 

You promised me nothing would change between us, that no matter what life threw at us we’d always be thick as thieves, but it was a lie. Everything changed because we were truly growing up and starting our lives. It was inevitable we wouldn’t be the kids we used to be when we were younger, but I thought our friendship was built to last. 

I always made sure to do a big group activity, trying to see all the people I cared about at once. But I was in the wrong because I should've made sure that you knew you were important enough to me hangout one on one, giving you my undivided attention. 

But I didn’t and things between us were different. I flipped at you, and told you how hurt I was, but you didn't even care, and that's when I knew just how much things had changed between us. You didn’t want me around your girlfriend, you didn’t want anything to do with me. 

It's like you don't know me anymore, but I don't blame you, because I'm a completely different girl now. But what hurts the most is you don’t even care to get to know the new me. And honestly, I would rather spend my time with people who truly care. 

But you, you were my brother. You knew me inside and out, and vice versa. How did we get so disconnected from each other? Is it because we were both being selfish? Because we were growing up and we knew what was coming but tried to ignore it?

In the real world, you won't always keep the people you want to keep, you just weren't meant to be in this chapter of my life, but I still wish you were here. You would be so proud of the fact that I stand up for myself now. 

You'd get along great with my new friends, especially because of how happy they make me. 

I wish you could be in my life, but you're not. It hurts and I wish I could take back everything I said to you, but I can't.

Just know I will still always be here, even if you hate me all your life, I still and always will care about you. 

I love you still, just like I did when we were growing up, you still will always be considered a brother to me. You were there when no one else was, and we both screwed up, but I will never forget you, or the lessons that you taught me.

If I Could Confront the Guy Who Assaulted Me, This is What I'd Tell Him

You never know the story behind someone’s eyes, the pain that they’ve endured. It’s hard to hide so much pain for so long and carry so much anger in your heart towards the person who has hurt you. All I have left are words to express how much pain I feel. If I could confront the guy who assaulted me, this is what I’d tell him

I still feel so violated when I think of that night, and I think of that moment a lot. I can still feel your hands slide down my body. Sadly, it’s something that’s now engraved  in my mind I will never be able to forget.  

You stole my innocence from me. What gave you the right to force yourself on me like you did? Not a day goes by where I don’t think about all the what ifs of that moment. What if I was stronger? What if I tried harder to run away…what if? But it’s just not possible to turn back time and change anything. It’s done and I’m left feeling damaged. 

When I try to be intimate with the person I love, I sometimes have flashbacks of your hands on me. I pull away and have a panic attack. It’s living with a broken soul. It going through life feeling like you’re soul is slowly dying from the pain.  

I never told anyone that you assaulted me. I just can’t. I feel shame and anger for not being able to speak the words and the describe the horrible nightmare that you made go through. But I guess, in my head, there’s something about not talking about what happened that makes the trauma feel less real. But that’s just a defense mechanism. This is very real. 

I was scared to go to the cops about it because it was your word against mine. I was scared to tell my mom, because I didn’t want to know her reaction. I went through the whole thing alone, because I was scared of what my friends would say. 

You ruined my trust in guys, and made me feel like I was worthless and that something was wrong with me. 

You never apologized, in fact, you claim it’s all in my head, but if it was then why can I still picture that night clearly in my mind? Why do I still get flashbacks of it happening? 

I’m thankful that my boyfriend still stands by me, that he still loves me even though I pull away from him and tell him I’m damaged because of that night. 

You ruined me that night, but I’ve bounced back and am stronger than ever.

To My Best Friend: Please Don't Ever Give Up On Me

You have always wanted to see me happy, and I appreciate it so much, but now it's your turn to be happy. You have done so much for me through out the last couple years and you have been there for me when my boyfriend and I fight. 

You have been trying to wobrk things out with your ex, and I'm happy that you are, but I can't help but get scared that you will leave me hanging for her. You try to remind me that you won't forget about me, but I know how easy it to forget about someone. 

I try to get along with her for your sake, and for a while we were getting along pretty well, but you can't blame your cousin and I for feeling neglected by you when we really need you. 

The drama that unfolded between your ex, your cousin and I was completely unnecessary and uncalled for. I never meant for drama to unfold between us, I just wanted her advice on why you may not of had as much time for me lately. 

I never want to see you unhappy, you are my best friend. You deserve a girl who will love you on your good days, and your bad days. I want to be a part of your life, and I want you to be able to talk to me about things going on in your life.

I understand you are one person and that you try so hard to help everyone, and that sometimes you don't have time to help me with my problems, I'm trying my best to be patient and not be so dependent on you 24/7, I just was really lucky that for a while you were consistently there for me, but I also need to remember that you need a break too and that it doesn't mean you don't care, you just need to breathe. 

You can't blame me for being scared, I've never been important enough to people to stick around when someone else comes into their life, I get pushed aside and later the person will tell me that I'm just not worth it anymore, and I never want to see us get to that point. 

I know I should stop doubting our friendship, but I'm so used to being second choice. I'm used to guys wanting someone better in their life. I know you aren't like most guys, and I am so thankful for it, but some days the thoughts just get so overwhelming. 

Some days I need my best friend, even if it's just a "I'm still here" text that will randomly pop up on my screen, or those pictures that you send me as if you know without talking to me the mood I'm in and that I need a laugh. 

Thank you for doing what you can for me, and for reminding me still that I will always be worth it to you, even if we don't talk every day. 

I just get scared that you will forget me sometimes, and that our friendship will no longer be important to you(I know I shouldn't think that, but you know how I can be)

I will work on my problems on my own the best I can, and not be so dependent on you. I will always be supportive of you and what you want to do in your life, just like you are with me. 

As long as you never give up on me, I will be happy. Just promise me that no matter who comes into our lives, that you will never give up on me, because I couldn't get through this crazy life without you. 

No Matter How Difficult Life Gets, You'll Always Be My Rock

If anyone has been my biggest fan, it's you. Whenever something happened in my life you were the one who stood by me and supported me through it. My biggest cheerleader, my number one supporter, my rock.

I know there are times when I’m hard to be around, when my depression is at an all-time high and it’d be so much easier for you to just walk away. But you won’t, you never have. 

I don’t know if you realize how much that means to me.  

You’ve held me on the nights I'd be in tears, the nights when I felt worthless and like I wasn't good enough. You kissed my fears away and let me know how much I meant to you. 

Even when I push you away, you refuse to give up on me. 

And when it comes to celebrating, you never cease to surprise me. You’d drag me out of bed and take me out to do my favorite things, even when I wanted nothing to do with celebrating because you knew I deserved it. 

You are so much more than my boyfriend, you are my safe haven. You are there through the stormy weather, when I fight with my family and feel like I'm never going to get better you calm me down and remind me life goes on.

When I struggle with my work you remind me to take a deep breath and that things will be fine and that I have no reason to stress out.

When I have a rough day at work and feel like things will never get better you remind me to keep my head up, and that everything will get better. 

You shine so bright that it makes me feel better just being around you. You do so much for me, but loving me unconditionally is the best thing I could ask for. 

You are honestly the best thing in my life, and I am so in love with you for it.

I'd Rather Have A Small Circle, Than Fake Friends

If there’s anything that I’ve learned in life, it’s that friends come and go. Fake friends will always be around, they will be the ones who talk about you behind your back. 

Your real friends however will be by your side defending you. They are the ones who always stand by your side when the world is against you. Your real friends are the ones who support you, who know you inside and out. 

When people show their true colors, it’s hard for you to accept that they aren’t the people you think they are. You feel like you never really knew them to begin with, you just felt like you knew them. You feel like you have no idea what was true, and what wasn’t. 

It’s tough growing up, because everyone changes, whether it’s look wise, personality wise, everyone falls into their own clique. Some people become jocks, some become artists, others can be considered an outcast.

Bullying is something huge that happens in today’s society. The people you expect to be your friends really aren’t. They put you down because they need to feel better about themselves.

Don’t ever settle for people like that. You are worth so much more than that. The people you hang out with should be a reflection of who you are as a person. You want friends who will appreciate you, in all your flaws, and quirks. You want them to understand you and accept you for who you are. 

It’s better to keep your circle small, it’s less drama, it’s more fun, you get to be around people who are genuinely nice, and who truly care. Instead of having a huge group of friends who end up being fake.
