All the ghettoness and heartbreak of my life all started during my 6th grade year. It's getting very close to end of my 8th grade year. But, throughout those three years, i've learned a lot and i've been through a lot. I know, i know. "Ugh Casey... You're only 14 years old.. you can't be going around saying you've had soo much heartbreak. you're too young." No. I'm not. I'm old enough to know that, as a growing woman, i should be treated with respect, and not take any shit from anyone. But sadly, i have. I've let people walk all over me. I've let people into my heart, way closer to my heart than i probably should have let them get. That's just part of life though. Now, going into detail, towards the end of 6th grade, i met my best friend. She was a year older than me. I didn't know who she was at first because i had met her through Facebook. I don't remember every single little detail of how we became close friends but i do know that after a year of doing everything together, we had gotten into a huge fight. It lasted all through 2011, and i did everything i could to try and make her forgive me. I tried everything, everything in my power. She agreed to meeting up with me one night so we could swap notes with each other. I had written mine really short and embarrassingly. I probably wrote about 2 sentences. She wrote a 3 page, front and back, letter to me, Telling me everything she had wanted to tell me. It made me cry when i got to the end. In bright pink marker was the sentence, "P.S. This is not me wanting to be friends with you again. We will never be friends ever again, and stop trying to contact me." It broke my heart. I thought she was going to be my best friend again. I lived through 2011 without the help and support of her. She was my inspiration to everything i did. It hurt my heart to see her at school and around the neighborhood smiling with her friends. While there was me, lonely and scared to talk to her. At the beginning of 2012, probably in April, she had added me back on Facebook after a year of me being blocked. I messaged her asking why she was adding me again, thinking she had made a mistake. She messaged back and told me this; "I'm starting over with all of my enemies." I don't fully remember the conversation but all i know is that i was really happy to have her back. The first couple of times we hung out were awkward because i knew she was still kind of mad at me from what i had said to make her hate me. Then, we both started getting comfortable with each other and becoming better friends like we had before. Now, here we are. It's May 2013 and we are still close as ever. I love her so much and i couldn't ask for anything better in a best friend. She is truly amazing, and i'm so glad i met her.
