What do you do when your so-called best friends betray you, hurt you, lie to you, fabricate stories about you, constantly talk behind your back? You try to move on, that's what you do. You find new friends, real friends, the kind of friends you consider to be your sisters, and you try to be happy.
But letting go of toxic friends is easier said than done. It took me years to realize that I was strong enough to move on from them. Ironically, it only took one summer to find real friends. #Friends4Life
For years I put up with these toxic friends, I let them hurt me over and over and over again. And in 8th grade, they finally broke me. They did everything they could to make my life miserable. And they did make my life a living hell. They lied to me, they turned my boy [friend] against me. Until I figured out that ending these friendships was the only way I would be able to find happiness. So, I cut them out, deleted them from my life and past. Now, I am ready to tell this story, in hopes it will help other girls, teenagers, young adults and even adults to break free from toxic relationships. #SomeFriendshipsRJustNotWorthIt

Will boys get in the way, or were they always meant for each other... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Avery and I were walking the field, talking to each other, or should I say just her talking and me listening.
