Dear____ ,

today I had to say goodbye to my bestest friend in the whole world who is my unofficial adopted sister. though sometimes things can bother us, it’s time like these that remind me how much i love her and need her in my life. i’ve cried four times today knowing that she’s no longer 20 minutes away. though she’s not my oldest friend, she is one of the only people on this planet that know me the way she does. life feels like shit today.

jonasbrotheers:

reblog and let me fill your ask with fun jonas questions to answer!

because last time I checked you were someone that i cared deeply for and wanted to spend my days with. now you’re just a person on the street, not even someone i would want to say hello to. it took a long time for me to see that. i guess that’s sort of how it works, when someone i’ve cared about for even longer than you tells me that they honestly hated my guts whenever i was with you. they all called it a phase, they were convinced that our relationship was just a phase and they couldn’t wait till they had the real me back.

how is that supposed to make me feel? knowing that the people who have been there through thick and thin hate me when i am with you. as much as you mean to me, you’ve never been a good friend to my heart. i’m not sure i want to be around someone who is more concentrated on themselves rather than those around them. its pretty sad actually.

but fuck it, its time for me to grow the fuck up. i can’t keep holding onto things that are forcing themselves to be adults* when all they act like are children. 

Right now is a phenomenon.  Right now extraordinary things are happening.
