Losing a friend

I don't write about personal things, that has been my rule on this blog but I feel like this is something I can share with you guys. It's quite personal but it needs to be said.
A few months ago I became friends with a person. This person quickly became an important part of my day and we talked a lot. When I say a lot I mean hours everyday. Because of this, this person became a person I cared about and felt comfortable with so I opened up to this person and let this person be someone that I trusted and felt that I could tell things I couldn't tell other people.
During these three months we developed a close friendship that I really appreciated but I also became worried about losing this friend. This person sometimes needed space and I am a person that find it difficult to give people space which sometimes made this situation challenging. I felt pushy, needy and annoying. But I tried to work on myself to learn to deal with peoples' differences.
This person became the one I wanted to talk to when I felt down because I felt that this person could cheer me up and make me calm.
But something happened. A bit over a week ago this person disappeared. This person stopped answering my texts, facebook messages, emails and phonecalls. In the beginning I got worried that something might have happened. My worst fear was that my friend was lying somewhere in a bush half dead. As the days went I realised this wasn't the case. I simply had lost a friend. I tried to get an explanation or at least some kind of goodbye from my friend but I didn't. So what happened, I kept trying. Probably a bit too much. Or not just probably, I tried way too much and probably ended up annoying my friend even more than I clearly had done before.
So why am I writing this here?
Well, first of all I'm writing this to let my readers know that even if I seem to have an idea about how I want life to be like, sometimes I am left clueless and make mistakes.
I also felt that I needed to explain how much it hurts to lose a friend. To be honest, it feels like someone has taken away the one person I need the most at the moment even though I know that's not true.
There will come new people into my life, I have other friends that I can talk to but my problem is that I still care. This friend of mine means a lot to me and even though this person has hurt me by ignoring me I honestly wouldn't have a go at this person if I got a phonecall. Why not you might ask? Well, I would be able to get my friend back. The thing is, I miss this person. I'm even willing to change things about our friendship to keep this person in my life even though my other friends tell me not to.
Losing a friend is hard, especially when you don't know why and you still care about that person. This led to me being reckless, call too many times, message constantly and aim to get some response but when thinking about it, it doesn't make me a bad person. It makes me a person that has been hurt and just wants her friend back.
But this also teaches me one important thing, make sure your friends know that you care about them because if they one day decide to leave you, at least they know that you cared.

Dear my unborn child

For almost nine months I've been carrying you. When I learnt that I was going to become a mother I was excited, confused and scared at the same time. How would I be able to bring a child into this world where there is so much hatred, war and horrible things happening. Little did I know. I wasn't bringing this child into a world with all that. I'll be bringing you into a world where we are fighting a war against something this world hasn't experienced before. You will be born into a world where hundreds of people even thousands die on a daily basis because of a virus, something unstoppable that has created a world where people are afraid of walking side by side. Where someone coughs and everyone around him moves away. People can't leave their houses without the fear of getting ill. You will be born into a world where no one goes safe. I always dreamt about holding you in my arms for the first time. Your grandparents meeting you and my friends and family seeing you f...

The average but enjoyable Gatsby

I don't do film reviews, not because I don't like sharing my experience but because I usually don't have much to say about the films. However, after just finishing second year I feel more confident and I also actually have opinions about the Great Gatsby so I hereby introduce my first film review. I finished reading The Great Gatsby about 2 months ago and when I read it is was only for my own sake which meant that I probably didn't pay as much attention to the details as I would have done if it was for school as many people had too. However I think the film managed to stay quite accurate to the book. There were scenes in the film that probably could have been made shorter and some needed more explanations to make the audience understand what they actually contribute. I guess this is a problem with all film adaptations of books. It is impossible to get all the details in the book to fit into a film, especially when films nowadays very rarely are longer than 2 hours a...

Our lives exposed online

I am born in the generation where people don't know what lives were without colour TV, a computer in every home and internet. Some of us might remember when you couldn't be on the phone at the same time as you were online but to be honest, the only reason why I know about it is because my older siblings have told me about it. This has created a society for my generation where we communicate with people all around the world and often with people we don't even know. I know many of us like to think that we are friends with everyone on facebook but quite frankly, we don't. There are a lot of people we haven't talked to since primary school or people we just have on facebook because we enjoy stalking them. This creates a problem we often don't think about, what we put online is not just for us and our friends. It is for everyone we have on facebook and often other people. We also easily forget how the things we put online can be saved and spread by others and soon ...
