I've always felt that I have put more into my friendships then I've gotten out of them. It hasn't stopped me from being a supportive and good friend, but has often left me with self doubt and mild depression as my negative thoughts tend to wonder. I slowly began to drift away from them after high school but for a few years we still got together, at which point I had time to reflect on many things. I started being more honest with myself, even if I wasn't quite ready for my friends to hear it yet. So I started righting things down in a little green journal as the past and present reflected each other. These are a few excerpts from that notebook highlighting both the disappointment but joys in my relationship in friendship and love, however secret or known they may be. Fun Fact: The cover of this book is the actual green journal I used to write my thoughts down in This is just a short story done through the style of letters for the #modernlovecontest and is a more subtle take on the relations I've had with some of my friends over the years. Like stated before these are only excerpts from certain writings, even though I don't use my real name here the names of my friends have been changed for privacy reasons except for the letter their name starts with. Likewise a few re wordings may have happened to help fit in the word count limit, so some past events I can not fully explain like I did in my actual notebook.

When 9 friends travel to Tybee Island to celebrate their final months together before they go their separate ways, no one could predict it would end the way it did. Love, loss, regret, betrayal, maybe they didn't know each other they way they thought they did. Will their friendship be saved by the summer's ending? or is this the end of their 10 year friendship. *cover photo taken from my trip to Savannah Georgia, edited on Canva *may be slow to update as I focus on finishing other projects first
