Reblog to weight less than yesterday
I normally don't post this kind of thing here, but this is a letter I had to write about someone who changed my life for the better. and while I know that there is no way for me to actually send this letter to her, I needed to get this off my chest.
I know that we havenāt talked in a while, and I know that you probably want nothing to do with me. I really regret how the last time we saw each other went, but I wanted to let you know that you were my best friend and the reason why I wanted to go to school every day. I enjoyed our walks around the playground, how we would talk about our worryās and gushing about our crushes, all the while hiding how I had the biggest crush on you.Ā
I remember that day in third grade so clearly, I had just returned to school after breaking my leg for the second time, and for some reason the school staff put me on the biggest hill and told me to stay there, I really donāt understand what went through their heads. But as Iām trying to wobble my way up the hill, I look up and see my childhood bully crying in the spot where I normally watch all the kids in our class play. Even though I was scared of you, I couldnāt let someone cry and not want to help them feel better- looking back it was very obvious that I was an empathetic child, I mean I used to cry if someone I cared for cried in front of me- so I walked up on my crutches and I asked you what was wrong, and in all the anger a crying third grader could muster; you told me to fuck off.Ā
For some reason I didnāt back down, I donāt understand why I didnāt leave you there. But I couldnāt, I told you I wouldnāt leave and that talking to others makes me feel better when Iām sad, and that ill stay to listen even though your mean to me. I said ā Iām doing what I would want someone to do for meā after all thatās what my mom and girl scout leader told us all the time. Well actually they told us to ātreat others the way we would want to be treatedā but its basically the same thing. Anyway, we talked and somehow it sparked an unlikely friendship. After that day you would come and sit by me on that hill since I couldnāt do anything else, and then when I got my cast off, we would play, and you introduced me to your friends. I was so happy; I donāt think you ever knew how lonely I was before that. I didnāt have many friends as I was the shy quiet kid. I know that the teachers had talked to my parents before, and that they were worried that this added to me struggling in class. I also know that they were worried about you, I remember them always partnering us up for group work, and while child me didnāt know what all the side glances at us were, I know now.
And then in fourth grade when I re-broke that same leg, you sat by me during reses, and even when I worried that you would grow tired of me, you told me that you would rather sit with me then play with the kids that didnāt like you. I would bring you books that I thought you would like, and in class you would sit with me during the group reading activity and whisper to me the words that I couldnāt say correctly. I remember the teacher pulling us aside one day and saying that you were such a great friend for helping me when I got stuck, and I was so grateful that you didnāt make me feel stupid. You never teased me for being slow after learning about my ADHD, you actually got all the kids that bullied me for it to back off. I remember how we would get so excited when I had a doctorās appointment because I was supposed to get my cast off, and the doctor told me that I wouldnāt need to used crutches anymore, so my mother sent me to school without them. However, by the second-class period I was in so much pain that I was sobbing, and you helped me limp my way to the nurseās office to call my mom. You held my hand while I tried to explain to the women at the front desk why I needed to call my mom and when I couldnāt get the words out you, in your angry but worried fashion told her to āhurry up and call my mom because I was in a lot of pain.ā
Fast forward to the fifth grade and we found out that were in the same class yet again, however this time the teacher wouldnāt let us sit next to each other. We ended up on completely opposite sides of the room. This didnāt stop us though, and we would make silly faces at each other only to get told off by the teacher. By the time that lunch came around we were glued to the hip, needing to catch up on all the time we didnāt get to talk. And then, about half-way through the fourth month, a girl names Reily moved to our school. There was something about her that just screamed āI need a friendā, and it felt like it was my duty to do everything I could do to befriend this girl. I was known as the girl in our class to be friends with everyone in our grade, all of that would have never happened if we didnāt become friends. You drew me out of my shell, and I mellowed you out a bit. You were the ying to my yang,
Unfortunately, every friendship has their arguments. Looking back on it, it was so stupid. I donāt even remember what we were fighting about. We didnāt talk for a full three weeks, I remember all of our friends would talk to us separately, trying to get us to talk to one another. But we were both so stubborn. It got to the point that the school counselors got involved and so did our parents. Itās a bit of a blur for me, but I do remember that we made up and were back to being best friends.Ā
You were there for me, and I was there for you, thatās what made up our friendship. We held each other together like glue. While we didnāt have phones in fifth grade, when I did get one before sixth grade, I immediately needed my mom to call your mom. In middle school we didnāt have many classes together, but we did have the same lunches. You were there to help me figure out why I suddenly stopped eating as much and why there were these girls in the grade above us telling me to kill myself and that I need to lose weight to fit in. I was already a small kid, but to them I wasnāt good enough. I just wanted to be their friend and at one point thought that they genuinely liked me. I held you while you cried and stayed on the phone with you when your mom would pass out after drinking, and then we would have sleepovers to take your mind off of it.
You would sit with me at lunch when I felt like even having ice would make me gain a crap ton of weight, and when I got so sick with worry you would hold my hair for me in the bathroom.
Over the summer we didnāt see each other at all, to this day I still donāt know. However, when the first day of seventh grade happened, we spent all of first block catching up, it felt like we were never apart. I still donāt know why, but something felt different about that year though. There was a looming feeling that I just couldnāt shake hanging over me, and I think you felt it too. We were more distant; we didnāt talk as much. Our friend group had little circles in it, and while the big group met up for lunch, the rest of the day was separated. I made other friends and so did you, but in the end, on the last day of seventh grade. I couldnāt stop crying, no matter what you tried, nothing would cheer me up. The entire friend group was so confused, I was having panic attack after panic attack. Every time I would stop crying for a bit, something would happen, and id start all over again. I know that I was the crybaby or goodie two-shoes in the group, but this was excessive- even for me-. I didnāt know how to tell you that I was moving, and I was such a wimp, that anytime that I would try to get it out, my lungs would feel like they were out of breath and my throat would feel tight. And I just couldnāt say it. So, I didnātā¦
There isnāt a day where I donāt regret not telling you or any of our friends, it was the shittest thing I ever did. I guess the moral of the story of recounting our friendship- while leaving out the parts I really donāt want my professor to know- is that I wouldnāt be the person I am today without you, and that I really appreciate the friendship that we had. I hope that someday, if I ever get the courage to send this to you, you read it and feel the same warm, fuzzy feeling that I get. I will admit, I cried multiple times while writing this, and my throat feels the same way you do after having a good cry, but I think that I really needed to get this off my chest.Ā
I love you,Ā

REBLOG IF YOURE LOCKING IN FOR 2025
update found out that it wasnāt just breaking my fast that fucked up my stomach, but also the norovirus so that was a great experience.
Iām doing better now, however my sister accidentally caught it from me so now sheās sick. I took a little bit of a break from posting so that I could recover as all I could do was drink water, sleep, drink more water, vomit, drink even more water then sleep for 10 hours and sleep be exhausted when I get up.
I will say it was nice to sleep so much as I have reallllly bad insomnia and rarely get to sleep more than 2-3 hours. Most of the time I might be able to get 3 hours of sleep but itās with periods of wakefulness. I feel like every 10 minutes of sleep I get I canāt sleep for 20-30 minutes, Iāve been off of melatonin for a while now just to give my body a break from it as in high school I was taking waay more then the recommended amount for someone of my height and weight.
Yall I broke my fast/ diet restriction and I regret it soo much. Not just because of my weight loss goals, but mainly because everything that I had( which wasnāt much) fucked with my stomach so badly
on Tuesdays I have an early start to my day as my first class starts at 8:15, im one of the first people to get there however so that I can review any notes from the class before and so that I can answer my emails. my class went by soooo slow today, it ended early though so that's a nice change. normally we end at 9:20. I had time to go and grab a small breakfast, and as much as id like to skip breakfast ive got a busy day ahead of me so I needed some calories this morning to keep my blood sugar up.
the only downside about going to my colleges cafe is that they don't say how many calories are in what they serve :(
anyway, I had a quick FaceTime with my mom while she was a work to talk about my finical aid since that fuckface of a president that we have now decided to freeze all federal aid to colleges. we think that I should be ok for this semester but next year will probably be a struggle. this summer to hopefully save some money im going to be working full time, and even then I won't have enough saved up.
after breakfast I'll be having a meeting with student success to talk about how the start of my semester is going and to chat about possibly starting tutoring. I'm struggling in my history class since all the professor does is talk and doesn't give us anything to study/ take notes on.
after that meeting I don't have class until 2, which gives me time to work on some reading for another class.
feeling unwanted ruins my whole fucking day
Drink water. Water is your best friend
a hug would be nice but not waking up would be better.
