I would rather have 1 amazing best friend than 100 decent regular friends. It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality.
True friendship is counted in memories, experiences, and troubles shared; it’s a bond built up over time in person, not a virtual tally on the Internet. It finds you; you don’t find it.
Ranking where people stand in your life and who they are to you helps you determine who you value the most and therefore where best to spend your time.
It allows you to be yourself, good and bad. And it’s a two-way street: you give and take equally.
I grew it – sorry, drew it – for this book, if for no other reason than to illustrate the old saying that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Friends are not a number. You can’t collect connections. You can’t just go out one day and be like, “Hey, I need some friends!” *goes shopping, scours social media*
Now, four years out of high school, I’m in an environment where people appreciate personality over appearance, and that makes me happy.

I think I’ve lived quite the unorthodox life so far, but you probably feels that way about yourself too. So much goes untold in our lives.
It’s funny reading about how I behaved in the days before memories formed. So thanks for that input, Mom and Dad – wasn’t so bad after all.

That’s the downside of growing up. There’s a lot of pretending involved. We frequently act like someone other than who we really are because we don’t know or aren’t comfortable with our true selves.
They say the truth will set you free, but what they neglect to mention is what happens when the truth isn’t what you want to hear.
Every second seems like an eternity if someone you love is in trouble.
My mom has since confirmed that my overeager go-to response – when I was going anywhere or had anything planned for me – was, “What’s everyone else going to do?
The thought of friends or family enjoying themselves in my absence gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Not unlike a selfie on Instagram or a well-crafted tweet, the computer screen projects the image I choose to portray. We all do it. My life – the glimpse obtained through Youtube – is no more perfect than yours. I’m no different.
Coffee has always been a significant part of my life. For me, it’s a chance to start my day and gather my thoughts – it’s fuel for my creative process.
I’m very into Taylor Swift. From her music to her wardrobe, she is absolutely killing it. Also, she has adorable cats that I would love to pet.
