The Good Friend Zone

The friend zone is not always a bad thing. Everyone needs friends.

The Good Friend Zone

The friend zone: the scariest zone in the world for most guys and almost impossible to sneak out of. More people have escaped maximum security prison than have made it out of the friend zone. Don't quote me on this, but I believe more people have crossed the DMZ than have successfully made it out of the friend zone. I am saying that the friend zone is everywhere, and it is taking casualties just about every second.

The title of this article is "The Good Friend Zone," and some of you will question if this is even a possible thing. It is, and it is not the end of your life.

What is the good friend zone? The good friend zone is simply being friends with someone of the opposite sex with no intentions of dating or involving yourself in any relationship with them. It is crazy to think that people just don't believe in being friends with the opposite sex anymore. Humans were put on this earth to interact, and being friends won't kill your hormones. Trust me.

Men: Women are human beings, so we should respect them. Yes, boyfriends are considered the people who take care of ladies, but ladies might sometimes need a friend to be there for them. Someone who is not their girl friend who will sit and drink wine with them. A male figure who can keep their head up when other guys mess up is something a girl could use. There are so many girls you would fight for if someone let them down or made them cry. I just want to simply say stop thinking so much with your hormones and be a good friend. Friendships are starting to get lost in this odd world.

Women: This one is a little difficult. I'm aware that the majority of women have a feeling that men want to get with you. Trust me, I am aware. I'm just here to say that a guy needs a girl sometimes, as a friend. Being there for a male is hard. Men like to hide emotions, and it's not rare for a guy to like a girl he opened up to, but a woman is key to a male's life. That key unlocks the door of support. Our mothers are nurturers, but we do not want to go to our mothers for certain things. That's where the lady friend comes in. Guys can have female friends, and this rarity needs to happen more often.

Listen, the good friend zone is not even a friend zone. It is just my way of playing on popular culture to bring friendships back into this world. You like someone, you are put into the friend zone, you should make the best of it. No one wants to be lonely, just be a friend.

Thank you to all the women I have befriended over the years. I could not be where I am today without your support. I love you all dearly.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
