10 Alarming Hints To Tell If You're That 'Convenient' Friend
https://www.maxpixel.net/Beautiful-Coffee-Cafe-Women-Girlfriend-Girls-3764701

It's hard when you feel like you are so close to someone to only realize they are abusing your friendship.

They only talk to you when nobody else is around.

Giphy

When it's just the two of you, you guys can talk for hours. Get one more person around, and it's like you're a ghost.

You make plans with them and they do them with someone else.

Giphy

I was supposed to get matching tattoos with a "friend" from high school.... guess who went with someone else?

They don't talk to you unless you start the conversation

Giphy

Then, even when you do start the conversation, it's like they are only half there.

They always expect you to be there for them, but are never around for you

Giphy

A minor inconvenience? You better answer their call. You're stranded alone somewhere? Not even a text back.

They always make plans with you, but then ditch you last minute 

Giphy

Nothing is worse than getting the "Sorry, I'm sick" text, then seeing them out with someone else.

They go after your ex

Giphy

And then they make you feel crazy for getting upset because "they are friends, too".

You can tell talking that talking to you annoys them.

Giphy

They just cannot wait to get away from you.

They aren't as happy for you as you are for them.

Giphy

You are so overjoyed when they get an A on a quiz, but you could become president and they wouldn't care.

They don't keep your secrets 

Giphy

You cannot tell them anything, because you have witnessed time and time again them telling someone your business.

You can tell they have drifted away 

Giphy

It's harder to talk to them. Everything feels forced, nothing is the same.

Nothing is worse than the sudden realization that someone you once considered a best friend—now only sees you as a convenience.

It's like you're only there for their own benefit, and it's the worst. It's hard to let go of that friendship that you once had, but you're honestly better off without them. Don't let them abuse your friendship.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
