Friends
By Serena Peace

Friends. What does the word mean? To me, friends mean the people you choose to connect with respect and boundaries. The understanding you both will be friendly all the time to each other. Because I don’t want to get too close to people now because I’ve been betrayed before and hurt. I keep friendships at a distance and respect boundaries first, then if they don’t backstab me or betray me and I still like them as a person I will hang out with them still. Some people have really good insight to and aren’t afraid to offer their unfiltered opinion. It’s raw. It’s at face value. And if you like it, great! I’m starting to like meeting and being friendly to people. There are so many different people and they all want friends. Things aren’t like highschool anymore, people intermingle with people out of their normal circle out of school and get along great. It’s like people are attracted to opposites, like magnet. I will just say I respect boundaries more here since we’re crammed in here and I will always try to be friendly, that’s just how I was born. To whoever it is, I’m a lot nicer to people and usually think everyone deserves friendly, love and peace.
