Personal Narrative : My Best Friend

Its a combo of a few things for me. First I started by downloading the app "Myfitness Pal" by underarmer (the free one of corse). There you plug in your current weight and then your goal weight, and it give you a "calorie limit" to kind of start off with. Then I did some research on healthier breakfast and lunch choices (leaving dinner to eat shit food lol but within the calorie limit). So for example I would eat oat meal for breakfast with almond milk instead of regular milk, or toast with avocado instead of a bagel with butter. I also carried that into my lunchs at work (let alone I started packing them, so that really helped). But for the first moth or so I wouldn't change my dinners, on the amount, to stay within the calorie limit, this way I could still enjoy food I wasn't willing to give up.

I also want to make it clear that I didn't write this letter so that we never have to talk about this face to face, it’s just easier because it gives you time to think about things before you have to respond. I’ve had a lot of time to think about this and it’s taken me time to be comfortable with it so I’m not expecting you to accept it all overnight, it’ll take a while to get used to. I’m sorry if you’re disappointed in any way. You always taught me to be honest, and to be my self, so that’s what I’m trying to do. I’m still the person that you raised. This is just me trying to be myself in every possible

Dear Abby, I am writing this letter for the things I can't make up, but wishing so badly I could. As we both know, no amount of words on this page can take away from the damage or hurt I caused but I wanted to start somewhere. I broke your heart and tore it into a million pieces, broke you down to a low point where you didn't feel loved or appreciated anymore. You loved me with all of your heart and I just took it for granted and threw it all back in your face, you trusted me more than anyone else before and now your level of trust is at an all time low, because of me. Yes, I still love you with every vein in my body and knowing you're hurt and in pieces over what I did fucking kills me, I've been such a let down and I regret it more than anything

My involvement with Best Buddies and UT SEEK (Student Engineers Educating Kids) has strengthened my appreciation for people of different backgrounds and conditions.

First there was nothing but darkness. It felt like an endless void for one man. But as quickly as the darkness appeared, it disappeared into the light of day. The man dubbed ‘Hero’ quickly looked around the lush hills consisting of trees, rabbits, birds, squirrels and… slimes? He slowly walked over to one, still not trusting his legs, and as he drew closer the slime jumped at him. The slime impacted Hero and sent him stumbling backwards. Hero looked for something to fend off the attacker and found a copper short sword at his hip. He pulled it out of the sheath and stabbed at the slime. To his surprise the slime exploded into a pile of copper coins and a few balls of slime. Walking toward it he was surprised when the 2 objects started to float

A breath to build a glow. I've heard it said a thousand times, but now I know. That I do not know what I have, until it's gone. I thought I kept you safe and sound. I thought I made you strong. But this whole thing made me realize that I was wrong. This is not the end and this is not the beginning. This is not what I had planned and it is out of my control now. Thoughts were spinning in my head, and I had so many things were left unsaid. It's hard to let you go. All I can think about is you, and how many little things I miss and love and the memories we made together. I just cannot lose you, because did not know what I had, until it is almost gone. From catching lightning bugs with you and the babies, to every photo on my phone, to picking you up at Michael’s Pizza, dropping you off at Greene’s Orthodontics, to camping, realizing that that could be over and gone made me cry. The little things give us away; I have always said that. Seeing you smile to my dumb jokes, and cheesy pickup lines, to hearing you giggle and scream when I try to tickle you, to being there when you get a phone a

I’m writing you this letter and I want you to read the entire thing. I figured that I should write this instead of tell you because I’d probably forget things if I was talking and we would probably end up arguing. I feel like lately all of our conversations are very aggressive and not actually conversations. Also, I feel like whenever I try to really express what I’m feeling and you don’t agree with it, you shut me down. I don’t know if you realize that you do it, but you do and it hurts and makes me feel like I can’t say everything that I need to. For one, I am very sorry that I lied to you about going to Taylor’s and told you I was at work. It really really won’t happen again. I didn’t tell you sorry the other night or even right after because I was upset and the apology would not have been sincere. I didn’t want to just say sorry to say it, I wanted to mean it and it be genuine. I am also sorry for shutting you out. I know that it’s not fair to you and that you are just trying to make the most of the time you have with me because I’m not going to be living here for a whole lot longer. I don’t know why I thought I had to lie to you that night. There wasn’t anything super important that I just had to go over there. I am so sorry that I did it. I know that I lost a lot of trust with you by lying and I hope that I can do something to gain it back. Honestly, I just don’t know how I am going to do that. On the other hand, I do think that you overreacted. I don’t really care at

I needed to write you this letter in order to apologize my mistakes over the last year. I recognize I have hurt you and for that I'm truly sorry. I know that you have given your all to make our marriage work and I took your love for granted. I'm responsible for not being the man and husband that I'm supposed to be and that you deserve. I can’t blame you with what you are feeling but I hope and pray you will give me a chance to rebuild your trust, love and affection for me and our marriage. There are no excuses for my mistakes and how I mistreated you. I would give anything to go back and undo it so you wouldn't have to go through the disappointment, pain and frustration. I accept that my words are empty unless they are backed

From the above vignette, it shows that the alliance between Amy and myself is one where we were building trust and developing a relationship. During our initial visit, Amy discussed her academic achievement the previous year, but, she was reluctant to discuss issues surrounding her home life that is now affecting her academics. At the beginning of this session, I realized that building an alliance with Amy will take time to develop trust.

Trying to figure out where to begin this letter isn't an easy thing for me this morning! I know we have said our fair share of apologies between the two of us, but I am not sure if you are fully aware of the extent of the hurt you caused me. I understand I hurt you too and I played a part in it, but you weren't the one that showed all of yourself to someone else and then to have them drop you like a hot potato is pretty hurt full. I felt used and then tossed out like a piece of trash. I know and am aware that was never your intentions but that's how it made me feel. I should not have engaged in flirtation behavior because I was just egging things on and at the time, I felt like it was harmless joking around. However, you were at a time in

I could honestly go on and on about you and the things I think are great about you, but this letter must come to a conclusion, and with it I leave with you my feelings, laid bare for you to see. I intended this letter to just be a confession of what I felt for you, and now that I’m writing it, I’m thinking of how it will be received. Two main paths cross my mind, the worst case scenario: it’s ignored, which, really, isn’t even that bad to be honest, and it’s a completely reasonable possibility that I’m totally fine with. You can probably guess what the other would be, which is what I would hope to happen, but know that whatever you decide to do or don’t do, I’ll still be here and I’ll still be your

When you were still in the kindergarten, friends were the people who romped about with you, played mischievous tricks upon everyone. When you were getting bigger, perhaps at primary school, friends were the people who helped you in your homework, who sung with you at the school choir. Had you forgotten them? Had you betrayed them? Are you a good friend to your friends? A true friend would always tell you the truth, be you best partner when you need him, most of all, support you.

Think of your favorite thing in the world to do. Something that defines you. Something that you can only experience from your eyes. For me it is soccer, and through that came a rite of passage that will be with me forever.

It was Tuesday, July 18th. I was a nervous wreck. In desperate need of clothes to wear to impress... her. I begged my best friend Todd to join me at Woodfeild mall. He gave in and we went. Todd and I shopped for hours. Nothing looked good enough for...her. We were running out of time. I made-do with four short sleeve shirts from Champs and two pairs of sweatpants shorts from h&m. The total came out seventy dollars. We walked out and got into Todds car. I was shaking the entire ride home. Will she like it? Am I going to look fat? What about my acne? What if she doesn’t end up liking me? Nothing else crossed my mind as we pulled up to my house and I was dropped off. There was around an hour and a half until I had to leave. I walked inside
