Stress......

This weekend has been a very stressful weekend. My sister went to the emergency room twice in a matter of 15 hours for an ear ache and sore throat. My sister is one that doesn't like doctors or the clinic so for her requesting to go find out what was wrong was a shock and we know she had to be in so much pain. The doctors got it all figured out and undercontrol her sickness and now she is on the road to recovery. But it was stressful when my mom and I were taking her out there. To help cope with the stress, I talked to my friend about the situation and they listened to me and said if I need anything they would be around. Also another friend left me a very funny voicemail and that made me smile and lighten the mood. Sometimes during stress you just need to laugh. Find something funny and just laugh, it really does lighten the mood and makes you think wow thats just what I needed!

Relationships

The relationships I pick are those with friends I have not talking to or seen for a long time. I used to be close to a lot of people but as we got older and many situations that have occured for us to lose our friendship, I feel I have lost a part of me from not being friends with them. I have already started to reconnect with those friends that I lost the connection with and it is true a quote my friend that I reconnected with put on a picture of us, "True friendship isn't being inseparable, its being separated and nothing changes." This quote is very true, she was my first roommate in college and my best friend that knew more about me then anybody else did. Some bad choices and words said not only by us but by her boyfriend to me hurt our friendship. I knew that I would always miss being her friend and at that time we were still learning our way around forever friends. My goal is to spend more time hanging out with her and just catching up on all the lost time. We know that we will never have that same friendship back or relive the same memories. But we know that we have those great memories and that we now have the chance to make new memories together. In me making mends with her my other best friend that was friends with her also, we were 3 peas in a pod, connected at the hip-has also started to talk to her again after their fight they had. It makes me feel amazing knowing that we are all at the point were we can talk and be together again! "Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave and impossible to forget!!!!!"

Eating Disorders

In class when we were talking about it, it was had to hear that there are many people with eating disorders. I learned from a young age about my friend that was suffering from it. I didn't quite understand at that time but as I got older I realized how serious these situations were. It is sad that such young people suffer these disorders and feel they need to change who they are by these drastic measures. I cannot imagine the heartbreak it brings to the families that have someone close to them that suffers with this constant battle. I know for these situations will never completely be gone but it would be great if children and teenagers or anyone for that matter would not suffer espically from the media and hurtful things other say.
