How MLP helped me get out of toxic friendships
I've been wanting to write this for a while now, and I've finally gotten up the nerve. So, WAY BACK WHEN (around 2014/2015) I was still getting into the fandom. I had watched every episode once or twice and I thought I had a good grip on what friendship really was. I was in my Sophmore year of college and on my 2nd roommate, whom I had become friends with the first year due to mutual Majors and interests. Very long story a little shorter, I was listing to "A true, true friend" and the lyrics sunk deep into me. I realized, this girl I called a 'friend', whom I confided in multiple times, wouldent actually do anything for me friendship wise. I had taken her to the hospital in the nearby town once because she had a "stomach ache" which turned into a 5 hour project for the doctors to tell her she had indigestion, brought her projects to her classes that she forgot many times, and given her rides places I was never planning to go. It was such a one sided friendship, and I hadn't realized it before that point. I ended up moving out after only rooming with her for 1 semester and slowly cutting ties with her completely after a heated argument. I know Twilight says friendships are worth working on, but that's only if the other person wants to work on it too, right? I even somehow lost my high school friend who came with me to this college to her. He was in the argument as well. I even tried to reconcile with him the summer after and I got a "OK" in reply to my very long hand written apology letter. Thank you for taking the time to read this. It's been weighing on me for quite some time now...
