A Very Shower Friendship

Hi peoples!

So I haven’t written in quite a while but don’t fret, I’m still alive.

You all know how I was sad I couldn’t go home for Christmas, but guess what! I’m typing this from my living room! Ok, my mom’s living room, but it’s home to me. Being home just takes so much stress away, adds some too, but takes away the old stress.

One of my favorite things to do when I’m home is of course hang with my best friend, Shower. Me and shower, like always, were happy to see each other than went out in the world to cause some chaos. Ok, we didn’t cause TONS of chaos right off. We went to see Mission Impossible (which is a really good movie) and then we went to Beans and Brews (the best coffee place EVER! Way better than Starbucks.) and just talked. We talked about life, friends, and just general stuff that came up. I realized in that coffee shop, sitting by my best friend in the whole world, that it doesn’t really matter what others think of me because they don’t know me. Shower knows me almost as well as my own mom (or even more). Being back with him just feels right. We started talking about religion and how I’m getting back into the religion I grew up with, with a few exceptions of course. I don’t agree with some of the teachings within the religion, but that doesn’t make me a bad person or a bad (insert whatever religion you think I am). A lot of religious people, not just certain groups, are very judgmental. I’ve seen it in many types of religions. If someone isn’t doing EXACTLY what the teachings say to do than they’re looked down on. Me and Shower just talked about what we believe and that nothing that anyone else thinks matters in that area. Be true to yourself and your beliefs but also be courteous to other’s.

That was my inspirational message for this post. So me and Shower also talked about friends. I sort of lost a bunch of friends right before Christmas and it sucked. My last blog post did offend a few friends and for that I feel horrible. Anywho, so me and shower were talking about past friends and current friends. I’ve always known that I have a lot of trouble with friends but I realized recently that at the beginning of a semester and at the end I always have a rougher time with friends. I think it might be my stress levels going out of control so I don’t see harm I’m causing people. I’m going to have to work on that but for now I’m going to stick with the friends like Shower who are there with me through thick and thin. Don’t get me wrong. I still care DEEPLY about my friends I’m having problems with. I think these past few weeks away from each other will do us a TON of good. Being with each other every day without a break has worn our friendships very thin. I hope that everything is cooled down after we get back and we can still be friends. But anyways, back to what I was saying about Shower. We have known each other for about four and a half years. Being friends that long takes a lot on both parts. I remember I would get mad at him for things he did all the time and vice versa. The two things that kept our friendship together has to be communication and having the willingness to put up with each other. I have the capability to put up with a LOT of stuff and weirdness with people. People usually can’t put up with me. That’s not a bad thing at all! I don’t even blame them! I’m really hard to put up with. But that’s why I know that Shower and I have a great friendship. We know each other well enough to know how to put up with each other in a fun way and stay friends at the same time.

I’ve also noticed with Shower and I that when we have fights or arguments or are just tired of each other that our friendship will grow stronger after. I guess every good friendship needs a few fights or it’s not true! Me and Shower’s relationship used to be like a sin and cos graph (for all you math people who knows what I’m talking about YAY!). Look at the image below…

So I’m the red and Shower’s the green.  The up arches are we’re ok with each other, the down arches are we aren’t so ok with each other. See the stars? That’s when we hit together and are good and that’s usually when we had our best times. Things aren’t like that so much anymore. I live out of our home town now so we don’t get to see each other much anymore. When we do we’re just fine and want to spend as much time together as possible! Tomorrow we have another fun day planned. I’m leaving on Thursday (two days from now) hopefully (depending on when my car’s fixed) and with only one day left until the next time we see each other, it’s going to be an epic adventure (like always)!

So back to the coffee shop where we were talking. While we were talking I realized something, I can’t live without Shower. I can’t imagine my life without shower in it! I have fun pranks I’m going to play on him when we each are married and have a family and he has plans too; but this goes deeper than that. I truly love my best friend Shower more than anything else! He means so much to me I’d be lost without him. It’s going to suck not seeing him for a few months but I know he’ll be there for me whenever I need him.

So that’s my post for today. Can’t wait to go home (I have fun plans! ;D ) but am also going to be sad to leave here! I’ll post when I’m in my little town again! Have a most Wonderful day filled with fun and love! <3
