This Me

Its good to say what you want in a tiny post without judgement. For those who just come upon my post I’m Stephanie this 18 year old  girl living in the LA just wanting to write down what she lives through everyday. Today my mind is set on Best Friends and how distance maybe bad or good in a Friendship. According to me its no good. Me and my best-friend drifted apart. We graduated middle school ended up going to different High schools and then she just started talking about me to my other friends. Not cool but that’s life. We live in a society where talking about one another behind our backs in no biggie. Truth is we say we don’t care but we really do. Anyways back to my story, well lets just end it this way she unfriended me in every social network and ended up mad at me for no reason. So the Lesson for today is don’t get back stabbers as  friends & love life because everything is once in a lifetime experience
