We Laugh in the Face of Love
My name is Amanda. I've been alive for twenty-two years all of which I've spent living in North Texas. I'm an art student looking for a teaching job. If my soul had asthma then music would be its inhaler. I'm a harry potter nerd... like to the point where I have it tattooed on my body… no literally I do. I work in my university’s library so I read allot of books. I love cold weather and watching movies. Like Delacroix said "my keenest wish is to remember that I am writing only for myself" therefore my blog is for my own mental health I don't expect anyone to understand it. I try to fill it with things that make me happy, ideas I have, projects I work on, and things that I find interesting. Enjoy.

Kay so I’m not going to lie to you I stole some of these from a greeting card (don’t judge me)

but I tweaked them and added some things… I honestly feel like these are things all friendships/relationships need…

It’s about laughing at the same things or just at each other

It’s about really being understood and understanding

It’s about never running out of things to talk about, but at the same time being comfortable with sharing silences

It’s about being accepted unconditionally

It’s about being there for each other when you need it

It’s about picking up right where you left off no matter how long you’ve been away from one another

It’s about doing/saying/sharing things that would normally be awkward with anyone else

It’s about doing things just because you want to not because your obligated

It’s about putting up with each other’s shit 

It’s about loving the imperfections

It’s about having realistic expectations

It’s about forgiveness

and there is a ton of other stuff that I’m not thinking of I’m sure, but these are just the ones I thought up while reading my letter from kate. These seem kind of like pretty fundamental, no brainer things I guess, but really thinking about them makes me appreciate the relationships I have with my friends. I can think of 10 people off the top of my head that I feel most of these things apply and I’m so grateful to have them all in my life.
