I should tell you

Ou look! A cool, emotionally cleansing meme that I'm going to steal from Melissa, who stole it from someone else. How original of me.

Basically, you write down things you would like to say to people but (probably) never will. You don't give away who they are, per say, just straight-out what you want to say to them.

Let's begin.

1. I am jealous of every single aspect of your life, because I feel that everything I do well, you do just a little bit better. You have so much and yet you act like your life is horrible. Everything is always centered around you, and sometimes I feel like you get whatever you want because of who you are. You take a lot for granted.

2. You are, hands down, the most important person in my life, who challenges who I am and how I hide that person from a lot of people. At the same time, sometimes you upset me with the way you act, because I know for a fact that the attitude isn't you. I know that it's just a phase.. or at least I hope it is.

3. There are so many things you do that annoy me to the point that I get really frustrated sometimes, but when it comes down to it, we're the most alike in many ways and you're always there for me.

4. You. You've frustrated me with your vague discussion of things, and lately I feel detached from you. That's making me really upset, because I've always considered you a close friend. The hardest part, as someone who needs to know everything, is that I know nothing. And you haven't offered up an explanation, either. I just hope we're not losing our friendship in this nonsense.

5. You really need to take the chip off of your shoulder and stop walking around like you're the greatest thing since sliced bread. I love you because we are so similar, but sometimes you talk about yourself as if nobody will ever compare to you. It makes everyone around you feel really crappy.

6. I think you're pretty irresponsible and that you should really clean up your act, considering everything that's going on in your life right now. I wish I could speak up and tell you that you need to get it together, but even though we're close, I don't feel like it's my place to say anything to you.

7. I love you, but you really tend to treat me like crap a lot of the time. You constantly put me down as a means for pushing me to do better, which is completely messed up. I wish you would realize what that does to me and just stop it already.

8. My parents always told me that you were never really my friend.. and I never believed them. I really wish we hadn't grown apart, and I hope that sometime soon we can reunite and hopefully rebuild our friendship. I truly appreciate the fact that you've also put effort into hanging out again.

Wow, Melissa's right - that was really good to do. Now I'm off to go to bed after doing absolutely nothing productive all day. Good.
